Scripture: Isaiah 66: 7-14 (NIV) 

7 "Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. 
8 Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. 
9 Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the LORD. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your God. 
10 "Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her. 
11 For you will nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance." 
12 For this is what the LORD says: "I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees. 
13 As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem." 
14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the LORD will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes.
