SPEAK UP FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T SPEAK!
I have just been checking www.numberofabortions.com. At this minute, there have been 55,642,804.4 (and climbing every second) abortions since 1973, Roe vs. Wade. Just this year over one million babies have been aborted in the USA and over 35 million worldwide. My heart is heaving.
How can we act as though nothing is happening? How can we live family life as usual? How can we do church as usual when so many millions of babies are aborted every year? And that is only the beginning. Babies aborted through the pill far exceeds the holocaust of abortion!
We often forget verses eight and nine in Proverbs 31, the famous Above Rubies chapter, "Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy."
The NIV translations says, "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves." Are we speaking up?
We cannot sit idly by while millions of babies die. We may not be able to do a lot to stop the millions of babies who are aborted, but we can speak up for those around us. We can lovingly encourage a mother to keep her baby who may be thinking of abortion. We can speak up for life at every opportunity. We can sign petitions and give financially. But, most of all, we can pray.
Pray about this issue with your family each day as you have Family Devotions. God hears your cry and the cries of your children.
Love from Nancy
P.S. Can you believe it? Over 800 abortions have taken place worldwide in the last 10 minutes (checking the abortion clock). Surely we cannot but speak up! Surely we cannot but pray!
