Does mankind control the having of children?
Although we live in a very autonomous culture, everyone doing what is right in their own eyes, there is still a sovereign God on the throne. And although God will at times give mankind, that does not submit to His Word and Lordship in their lives, what they “want”, that He might either draw them to Himself by His good blessings, or that He might allow them to walk in the judgment of their desires, or that they will have no excuse when they stand before His judgment throne, it is still God who is on the throne directing the lives of men, working all for His own Glory!
One thing we learn from this (I’m not speaking coldly of loss, I’ve lost 3 children – 1 early miscarriage, 1 mid-term loss, and 1 death of our infant girl.) but we see that WE do not control when we have children.
Children are conceived, not by the “will of man.” Wanting a baby and doing the “right” thing does not alone produce a child. It takes God, the Author of all Life, to bring that spark of life for any child to be conceived.
