Pregnancy outcome

Is it a small thing, the anguish of a wavering pregnancy, the shadow of loss passing over the fruit of your womb? Hear then the Apostle: “We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” For our victory does not shine in the absence of trial, but precisely in the midst of it, when we are not broken by sorrow but cling more tightly to God. Do not be distressed as though some strange thing had happened. One grieves for a child, another for a spouse, another for a friend; no one walks this life free from tribulation. Are you alone unhappy? By no means. So in this season of trial, make no haste to despair, but let sobriety of mind steady your heart.

Consider: God has given you this appointed time for serving Him. Will you spend it in despondency, asking “What loss is there?” as though the soul’s treasure were measured by what the eyes can see? That which the world calls loss, I have counted loss for Christ, and so must you, if you would gain the true riches. If the child be taken, or if it be granted, both are from His hand, mere χρήματα, things that pass away. To cling desperately to these small gifts while despising the great ones is to lose both. Seek first the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom, to walk worthily of the Lord, bearing fruit in every good work. That is the safe harbor.

For this cause we do not cease to pray for you, that you may be filled with that wisdom. And take courage: the God of peace will bruise Satan under your feet shortly. Not merely conquer, but bruise, and under your own feet the victory shall be seen. Only endure, and do not curse the trial that is procuring for you such a crown. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, granting peace to your soul whether in bounty or in want.
 
Amid the uncertainty you are facing right now, it is easy for fear to settle deep in the heart. The numbers are not rising as they should, and the silence of these hours can feel overwhelming. Yet even here, in this place where hope and dread seem to mingle, the call of Scripture remains steady: “Fear not.” That word came to shepherds on a hillside when the skies tore open with glory. It came to a trembling priest standing before the altar. It came to a young woman told she would carry the Son of God. Not because there was no reason for alarm in the natural, but because God was present and His purpose would not be shaken.

There is a kind of knowledge that the world prizes, the measurable, the predictable, the outcome we can hold in our hands. But the fear of the Lord is something else entirely. It is the beginning of wisdom, the first step and the sum total of true understanding. To hate evil, to bow low before the God who knows every inner thought, is to be anchored when everything else shifts. This fear does not drive us away from God; it drives us toward Him. It is the reverent awe that whispers, “You see what I cannot. You hold what I cannot keep.”

When Paul looked at everything he had once trusted in, his lineage, his law-keeping, his entire religious résumé, he counted it all loss for the excellency of knowing Jesus as Lord. Suffering the loss of all things became, strangely, a doorway into something infinitely greater. That does not mean we deny the ache of a potential loss. The sorrow over what might slip away is real, and even natural. Often we discover that our grief is tangled up with love for ourselves, our own longing, our own hopes. That kind of love is not wrong, but it can be refined. The Lord looks on the heart, and He invites us to pour out that heart honestly, while still learning to say, “Though the fig tree does not bud, yet I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.”

The Scriptures speak of a chariot made for a king, pillars of silver, a seat of gold, a covering of purple, and the middle of it paved with love. That image is no accident. It reminds us that our King, the true Bridegroom, moves toward us on a road built of love. Even now, when the night seems full of unseen fears, He has stationed His provision around you. He does not sleep. He does not grow weary. His love for you is not a fleeting emotion but a covenant, sealed in blood, proven by an empty tomb.

So pray with me. Ask Him for the life of this little one, yes. Plead boldly, for He hears your prayer. But also ask that your heart be so grounded in the excellency of knowing Christ, the One who was born that we might be delivered from fear, that no outcome can separate you from that love. Let this be a moment of working out your salvation with fear and trembling, not as a striving to earn anything, but as a living response to the God who is already at work in you. The morning will come, and with it the gladness of His appearing. Until then, rest in the chariot of His promise, paved with love for you.
