Waiting to Conceive

In my Sunday School lesson, we discussed Habakkuk the priest, who asked God the hard question: Why do evil people prosper and why do good people suffer? I thought of you. You may have posed a similar question. Why does God allow one woman with a cocaine habit or abusive tendencies to conceive, while another Godly woman, who wants children and would be committed to their care, struggles with conception. God's answer to Habakkkuk's question was that the revelation, or understanding of these difficult questions, awaits an appointed time, a reference to "the end of time". God encourages Habakkuk to wait for the answer and it will come. (Habakkuk 2:3) God understands that waiting requires patience and faith in Him. Have you asked God tough questions related to your infertility? Are you waiting for His answer? While you wait, as hard as it is, can you praise Him and acknowledge that He has a plan and that one day you will understand that plan? Are you willing to wait on His timing to answer your questions?
