“For it is written: Rejoice, childless woman, who does not give birth. Burst into song and shout, you who are not in labor, for the children of the desolate are many, more numerous than those of the woman who has a husband.”
Galatians 4:27 HCSB
Stop looking at others in comparison, don’t look outside- look inside, find out all that God has given you inside, (Galatians 5:22) acknowledge them and walk in their realities: Philemon 1:6
God tells the barren woman to rejoice, if she’s looking at her barren womb, then there would be no cause for such rejoicing, but because this analogy is drawn from Sarah, we know that she was a woman of faith:
“Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.” Hebrews 11:11
And we see the faith of her husband described here:
“And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:” Romans 4:19
He didn’t consider what was outside, but focused on God’s word, the same should be your life’s expression. You might not have resources outside, but there’s joy inside and with what’s inside you can change what’s outside.
