Anyway God & Anyway Faith
I never thought I’d face infertility. God gave me the desire for a baby anyway. I wish He’d either let me get pregnant or take the desire away!
Sound familiar?
Why would God place such an intense desire in your heart, yet withhold the fulfillment of that desire from you? He knew you would struggle every day with your unmet desire for motherhood and the physical reality of childlessness, yet He allowed infertility to be a part of His plan for your life anyway.
Our God is an Anyway God. On the surface, His plan may seem to contradict itself. Giving an infertile woman an intense desire to have a baby seems contradictory, doesn’t it? However, if you will serve God with an Anyway Faith, you’ll see that God works through confusing situations in ways you never could have expected.
Consider two people in the Bible who served our Anyway God with Anyway Faith:
Abraham
75 year old Abraham was promised a child. The Anyway God knew how old Abraham was—but still said a baby would come. Abraham faced his 80th birthday, his 85th birthday, his 90th birthday, and still no baby. Yet, Abraham chose to believe God anyway. Abraham’s Anyway Faith collided with our Anyway God and Isaac was born.
Daniel
Daniel knew that King Darius had signed a law demanding that if anyone prayed to any god or man besides himself, that person would be thrown into a den of lions. Daniel, full of Anyway Faith, went to the roof of his house and prayed anyway. What happened when Daniel trusted His Anyway God with Anyway Faith? The Bible says that King Darius wrote a letter to all the peoples, nations and people of every language throughout the vast empire: “May your peace abound! I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel!”
If you have questions about your Anyway God’s plan for your life—because He included infertility in His plan for you anyway—I pray that you will trust Him anyway. Love Him anyway. Serve Him anyway. You’ll find that He has blessings in store for you...anyway!
