"To Be or Not to Be"

    "To be or not to be that is the question."  To be born or not to be born?  Who has the power?  Who has the control?  Psalms 100:3 states, "It is He who made us and not we ourselves."  Perhaps one of the greatest lies in our culture is that "we are in control of creating life."  We think that it is up to us to make the decision of when and how many children we should have.  And that the "wise" person will carefully calculate timing and circumstances to "create" life when it is most convienent.
    While it is true that God allows us the power to end life and to keep life from being created, we cannot create a person.  Do we really believe God's word, "It is He who made us and not we ourselves"?  We can seek doctors to heal, repair or encourage our reproductive systems but it is still God who creates the life.  If we are married it is impossible for us to err in this arena.  We cannot have too many children, we cannot have them at the wrong time or even for the wrong reason because we do not create the children. 
    So if it is truly God creating the life within us it is only logical that we trust Him for His timing and His plan.  Once we limit, space or cut off children we are saying, "I don't trust God."
    *Is God not big enough to provide for the babies He creates?
    *Is God not wise enough to know when the babies should be born?
    *Is God not strong enough to enable our bodies to handle the pregnancy and delivery? 
      (If we are in submission to Him, He knows when to take us home and how)
    *Is God not sufficient enough to handle our potential post-pardom depression?
No potential problem is to difficult for God.  Luke 1:37 says, "Nothing is impossible with God."  Phillipians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 
    God's command is that we be fruitful and increase in number, (i.e. we have sex at the right time) and God creates the life.  Life is not created at random intervals.  God specifically designs and creates a person.  You and I are not accidents.  God knows any problems that might arrise, He knows what the doctors say, He knows your pain and His plan is perfect.  But when we cut off life it is no longer His plan but ours.  Do we trust God?
