Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. - Jeremiah 1:5
Today I woke up thanking the Lord for giving Roy and I another year of life, as it is both of our birthdays.
A few hours later I received the news, just as all other Americans did: Roe v. Wade has been overturned.
We hear from many that it is a Constitutional right to have an abortion and kill an innocent little baby in a very cruel way.
The Constitution does not refer to abortion at all, and although the Supreme Court has recognized some constitutional rights as protected by the due process clause, even if they are not expressly mentioned in the Constitution, the right to an abortion is not one of them. Among other things, the court has required such rights to be “deeply rooted in our Nation’s history.” There has been a resistance from many states since it was ruled legal in 1973.
“13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.”
Now that Roe v. Wade as been overturned, it has been ruled that each state will have the right to have their own laws on abortion. Each state will either declare they will no longer allow babies to die a cruel death, limit the time they would allow a baby to be killed, or even have the most hateful time frame of killing those little babies.
It is not enough to just have Roe v. Wade overturned, we as Christians must have alternatives for these mothers who would have had an abortion if the law had not been overturned. How can we help is the question each of us should ask.
There are places a mom can go to get help. Each of us needs to do our part. We do need to continue praying, but we must also help them.
Find a place to support that helps the mothers or go to your church and discuss if there is anything that your church could do to help the women in their time of need.
We are in a time in our history where man calls good evil and evil good. We must keep praying for our country and not give up. You will see America being given back to the righteous. Revival will come, but we must be shaken through chastisement in order to have the deception removed from the people.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
“30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.”
