Help For the Post-Abortive

# 2 – Today's Du-votional comes from 1Sa 1:1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountains of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. (1 Sam. 1:1) Ramathaim Zophim is actually Ramah. Ramah is a city of infamy in Scripture. It was located in the vicinity of Bethlehem, where Herod went on a terror, slaughtering innocent children in his attempt to eliminate the baby Jesus. Herod mercilessly killed all male children age two and under “who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts,” and in Mt 2:18 we read, "A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, Refusing to be comforted, Because they are no more." This horrific incident in Scripture is being played out in America today with over 55 million children slaughtered through legalized abortion. The Rachel's of America are the many who have come to regret their abortion, struggling to receive the truth that Jesus heals and forgives. Are you a Rachel? Remember there is no sin that Jesus did not pay the price for. Stop refusing His comfort and turn to Him. He alone can give you the peace, healing, and comfort you seek. A good place to start is an organization called Rachel's Vineyard. Www.rachaelsvineyard.org Or check out Word of Hope.

Open up their eyes of faith that they may believe Your willingness to forgive and heal them, in Jesus name, Amen.
