*** Scripture
1 Samuel 1:8
8 And Elkanah, her husband, said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? Am I not more to you than ten sons?”
James 1:17
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
*** Transcript
One author described infertility as “an insidious monster. It sneaks up on you, taking a bite here, a nibble there. It feeds on your life, and on your relationships. And if you aren't careful, it will devour your marriage.” (Quote by: Marlo Schalesky) And do you know what? She’s right.
According to reports, couples who can’t have children are three times more likely to divorce. Anyone who has struggled with infertility or sustaining a pregnancy knows the emotional weight that gets heaver and heaver as each every month goes by.
In 1 Samuel chapter one, we read of a couple who have struggled with infertility for many years. The reminder Elkanah tells to his wife, is invaluable, saying, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? Am I not more to you than ten sons?” The reminder is, we may not have children, but we have each other.
If you, or someone you know is struggling with infertility, it is essential to remember that we should never become so fixated on the lack of one blessing, that we forget the multitude of other blessings God has already given us! Don’t allow your joy dependent on one particular desire. And don’t allow the love and intimacy of your marriage to contingent on your ability to conceive.
Are things exactly the way you hoped and planned? Maybe not. But life’s greatest adventures, are often ones we never planned.
James 1:17 reminds us that, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.”
For couples who can’t conceive, God may be saying, you don’t have to give up, but don’t look past the good gifts I’ve already given you in your marriage to one another, and in your relationship with me.
And that’s today’s Bible Munch.
