It’s a busy day and everyone is hurrying. You know…work to do, things to get done. The demands of family, job, etc. drive us all. Some speeding-by are engaged in tasks of a different sort such as weighing-in on the current healthcare debate, the illegal alien question, how best to preserve the environment, safeguard our right to self-defense, or freedom of speech/right to criticize, counter the terror threat, etc.. The future of our family/nation/world is at stake! Isn’t it?
Yes it is! But almost to a man and woman, they’ve failed to notice something, or rather someone. While caught up in the rush of their day-to-day lives, even in doing their "civic duty,” they have overlooked this important someone whose cause has vital connection to all they strive for and care about! But they have no idea who it is! Can you imagine who it might be?
It is the many thousands of children who have died in their city by abortion and those who will die tomorrow without their help! These are much worse-off than a homeless and hungry street-person. They are callously given over to death and utterly forsaken. Even many Christians have become forgetful of and are visibly indifferent to their plight. “Wait,” you might say, “That 'issue' was decided years ago, and what can that possibly have to do with me and my life now?” PLENTY!
ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: Which entreaty will God be more inclined to hear and answer speedily: The narcissistic plea for "justice" by many in the current upsurge of American political strife or the cry of the blood of the many millions of little slaughtered images of God which, Scripture states, calls out to God from the ground of our nation for vengeance against us?
Their blood is on all our hands and,
therefore, adversely effects every good
thing we may attempt to do!
therefore, adversely effects every good
thing we may attempt to do!
God is a God of justice/equity. If we desire Him to favor our requests for our personal needs and for a favorable outcome now in this current political conflict, we must unitedly and with a will correct the gross injustice suffered by preborn children in cities across our nation for the last twenty-six years!
- WE MAY BE SURE THAT WE ARE UTTERLY UNWORTHY OF EITHER JUSTICE OR FREEDOM IF WE FALTER IN THIS MORAL COURSE!!
- WE MAY BE SURE THAT WE ARE UTTERLY UNWORTHY OF EITHER JUSTICE OR FREEDOM IF WE FALTER IN THIS MORAL COURSE!!
Acting aggressively to end abortion and to save the lives of the innocent will incline God’s ear to our prayer and His hand to save and strengthen our needy nation. This is not “protesting!” It is obedience to God’s commands to “Defend the...fatherless...” (Psalms 82:3), “Deliver those staggering toward slaughter...” (Proverbs 24:11), “...not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth” (1 John 3:18), and many others. It means doing what you can, and almost everyone can do a great deal more than they presently are...so help us God!
