God sees so much more than we see when someone says "I'm pregnant". We see a tummy changing, in the ultrasound we see a heart beat flashing and shadows of our baby. It it is a color 3-D imaging we actually do have a window into the womb. But God has always had a window into the womb. Jeremiah 1:5 says "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

Not Only did God KNOW him, but God already had a plan for his life. God actually commissioned Jeremiah to be a Prophet of God and put the words in His mouth.

We all have read Psalm 139 and the magnificant word picture given to us of the womb. My Knitting Daughter loves that God knits too!

139:13

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

139:15

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.

Yet as I was doing our Bible Study this week "Loved By God" I saw something in Genesis, in the story of Rebekeh going to the Lord, that I had not seen before. Well seen,yes, but not in this manner. I knew she had gone to God directly with her plea and I knew God Spoke to her about the twins warring inside her. How wonderous that must have been to know there were two babies before heartbeat detectors and baby imaging. (How awesome that God allows us to see what He has seen all along)

What I did not pay attention to is HOW much God sees! He did not stop at seeing the two boys inside her, He saw NATIONS! God literally saw the babies inside the babies inside the babies for generations to come.

Genesis 25:23 The Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger."

Rebekah was not carrying two babies, she was carrying two Nations. God saw these Babies, their potentials and their children. He saw it all before they were born. Can you even imagine what the Lord sees in your womb? In your Child? In Your Grandchildren? He sees it all ! He Knows us perfectly.

He saw the same with Abraham, Genesis 17:19 "Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him."

God saw Isaac before Sarah was pregnant with Him! God saw His sons, Esau and Jacob. God saw his 24 grandchildren! And the Covenant He would have with Them.

And the Greatest of all revelations and insights came to a young girl in Galilee. Luke 1:31-33 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." And in Jesus, God saw You, forgiven, set-apart, consecrated for His use and in Jacob, God saw JESUS!

As homeschooling Moms we do see the potential in our children. We do know what they are capable of  when they do not. Yet how often do we see their potential as grandparents? I mean we are just trying  to rear a child, Right? Right? Right! Let's leave the Nation rearing to God, one child at a time is all I can handle!
