Isaiah 26

Isaiah 26:18
We were pregnant, we writhed in labor,
We gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth,
Nor were inhabitants of the world born.
This is what life is like outside Christ.  We strive and suffer, going through all kinds of pain and labor.  However, for all our effort and cost, it is pointless, because we are trying to do something impossible.

Without God (and Christ), our work is like delivering a baby of air.  There is no point, no accomplishment.  But when we accept Christ, He takes that effort upon himself, and He can do anything He desires.  The baby of air becomes a live child.
