It Must Go Forth

Isaiah 66:9

9Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery? says the Lord. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your God.

The prophet Isaiah spoke by the Lord's command on the judgement surrounding the enemies who would not properly honor God but also talked of hope for Jerusalem. The Lord often made analogies to Israel as a woman or a woman's journey. Here God uses the analogy of a woman giving birth. There is no way that God will bring a baby to the birth canal and not open the canal for the baby to come through. There is no way that God will have a baby develop for nine months and it not be birthed. The birthing process must go forth. It must be completed. The birthing process isn't just for literally having a baby. God gives conception of ideas, ministries, etc through those He chooses. And there is a process of development. That development of the idea, etc must come to its full term before God can release it through a person. And He will not get you all the way through the process just for it not to pass through the canal. It must go forth. The pain is temporary. Once whatever it is God wants to come through has come, there will be joy and celebration. Do not fret, it must go forth.
