God's Blessing

I get daily emailed devotionals from the Kenneth Copeland website. To check this out and subscribe go here: http://www.kcm.org/about/index.php?p=daily_devotional

I love getting these because usually, the message hits right at home for me and helps especially in my TTC journey (or lack thereof at this time). Today's devotional discussed the topic of when you follow the Lord and his instructions, you'll receive and enjoy his blessings. The scripture reference was to Psalm 128.

Psalm 128 (New Living Transalation)
1 How joyful are those who fear the Lord— all who follow his ways! 2 You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be! 3 Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing within your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table. 4 That is the Lord’s blessing for those who fear him. 5 May the Lord continually bless you from Zion. May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live. 6 May you live to enjoy your grandchildren. May Israel have peace!


I wanted to share this scripture because I believe that God has made these promises to all of his followers and they WILL be fulfilled. It warms my heart to know that I will enjoy these blessings (such as my children flourishing around my table) as long as I follow his directives. It's comforting to know that I will not have to want because he will provide for me. For instance, I want to have a baby, so he's providing the method to ensure that I'll have many happy and healthy pregnancies --- I'm having this fibroid removed and will be ready to get pregnant in February. I just need to continue to follow God's will, have faith and believe, and everything will be ok.

BTW: I finally stopped spotting from my fibroid today!!! (one day before my surgery)

  2. I love this, so please don't take this wrong as I am a believer...

    But I always find myself then having a hard time with those who AREN'T believers who get pregnant on the pill. Or the drug addict who becomes pregnant. For me its a double edged sword. Did my questioning faith before I got pregnant and after my miscarriage turn the tables? Will my returning to flock suddenly make me fruitful?

    I guess I still have many questions that need to be answered....sigh.

  4. Forgot to mention....I'm a Christian woman who is struggling with IF. We have done 12 IUIs and have had a failed IVF. I love finding other Christian women going through IF.
