Are you asking God for a child?
Hannah wanted to be a mother so badly that “she…prayed to the Lord and wept” (v. 10 NKJV). In fact, she made a vow to God, pledging that if He gave her a son, she would “give him to the Lord all the days of his life” (v. 11 NKJV). And it happened. The Bible says, “It came to pass in the process of time that Hannah…bore a son” (v. 20 NKJV). The same thing happened to Ruth: “Boaz begot Obed by Ruth” (Matthew 1:5 NKJV). Ruth was a penniless widow when God introduced her to Boaz, the owner of the field in which she was gleaning. She was a Gentile and he was a Jew, and by law they were forbidden to marry. But God removed the barrier that stood in their way, and from their union came a little boy called Obed. He was a progenitor to King David, and eventually to our blessed Lord Jesus. God said, “I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 NKJV). And in case you’re not sure of the answer, here it is: “Lord…You…made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You” (v. 17 NKJV). Today if you’re asking God for a child, stand on these scriptures and believe Him: “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass…Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him” (Psalm 37:4-5, 7 NKJV).
