"We Gave Birth to the Wind" Isaiah 26-27; Philippians 2

     


                  We have given birth to the wind.  Isaiah 26:18.

Brooke gave birth the best way in the whole wide world.  God's way for these babies to come to earth.

We wanted to give birth to what is real and what will last for all eternity.
Whispered Prayers for true birth.
We need You so to intervene, intercede, interplay, interact.  
May the pangs of childbirth form Christ in us.  Gal 4:19.

May the peace of God grasp us and keep us safe.
"You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock."
Isaiah 26:3-4

Perfect peace
Inward peace
Outward peace
Peace with God
Peace of conscience
Peace at all times
Peace in all events
[Matthew Henry Commentary]

Father, we should praise You whether we are in the midst of trials or triumph.  We all want peace in all circumstances, all ways.  May we rely on You and Your Strength this day and always.  If we trust what this world has to offer, it will fade.  If we trust You, it will carry forever and ever.  Help us all, give us courage to find that kind of peace today.  That kind of Strength.  Peace apart from circumstances.  And we whisper this prayer for peace.
