Summary: Throughout the Scriptures there are accounts of pregnant women communicating with God about the life of their unborn child. Why is this? Well, I believe one of the reasons is that God’s purposes for our lives are already known while we’re in the womb. Isn’t that awesome? I love the story of Samson’s parents. When his mother was expecting him, she asked God, “What is to be the child's manner of life, and what is his mission?” She knew she could ask God about Samson’s mission before he was even born because God already knew what his mission would be. Jeremiah 1:5 says, God says, “Before I made you in your mother’s womb I knew you…” In Ephesians, St. Paul says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” God has prepared in advance the way for each of us and already knows our mission. So as you go out to reach your world, take comfort in the fact that God knows the manner of our life and our mission and He will guide our steps to fulfill that calling. He did it for me. He will do it for you. And it’s promised in the Bible. So go out and boldly reach your world. God is with you! Christ lives in you! And His power is your power. His wisdom is your wisdom. His joy is your joy.
