HAPPY WOMB ESCAPE - Your Baby Series 010
Psalms 22:9-10, KJV
"9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. 10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly."
When we celebrate birthday, what do we wish ourselves? You likely wished that fellow the other day, "long life and God's prosperity, happy womb escape" or in my manner, "long life and God's salvation" etc.
Irrespective of the caring wishes or salutation used, one thing is acknowledged. The fellow being wished those good things has escaped the womb to being in the here and now in our world. If he had not escaped the womb to seeing the world that be outside his or her mother's womb, those greetings or wishes wouldn't have apply? Hear what this psalmist says. "But thou art he that took me out of the womb." He refers to God Almighty as the doer. He credits Him with such deliverance. At that time of lament and acknowledgement of God as He who takes him out of his mother's womb, he is faced with besetting enemies who would spare nothing but give all it takes to swallow him up.
Psalms 22:12, KJV "Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round."
So, in his call to God, he tells Him to repeatedly give him deliverance and escape like He once did for him while he was housed in his mother's womb. If you know what the womb is, you'll acknowledge with me that it is a house which can even become a prison needed to be broken out of when delivery time peaks and has duly mounted. A time was when your baby stayed in your womb for safety, nutrition and just all that. However, another time came when he or she had to be released. Not releasing the foetus can lead to its discomfort and yours alike. As such, the womb can become a prison when ejection is not made at such time. But, thanks be to our God. The God of David, this psalmist is ours also. He acknowledges God for the no small deed of granting him escape from his mother's womb. As such, it's not a mere event when a woman delivers safely. Create that special sense in your kid that it was God who granted him escape from the womb to see the outside world for a purpose He sure knows and will like him to fulfill. Delivery isn't ordinary. It is God's granted salvation to the mother and the child alike. Both rejoice and long to be relieved. One, of her pregnancy; the other, from the womb. So, it's indeed "happy womb escape" to any one who now lives. Thank God you were not trapped in your mother's womb. While the remembrance of one's day of delivery reaches a crescendo and is usually celebrated on a marked birth day once a year, it should be our heartfelt acknowledgement to God that we were born. God knows about the psalmist's birth and granted him an escape. Yours isn't different. Praise Him. On your behalf, I say to God, "thanks for the womb escape of today's reader."
PRAYER: Pray for safe delivery and passage of all foetus. Nothing shall hold back their delivery.
