Micah Speaks To Abortion

It’s always amazing to me how the Scriptures, written so many years ago are so relevant in our culture today. The Book of Micah for instance, was written about 2700 years ago and it speaks graphically to the matter of abortion.

Listen to the words of Micah 3:2-4, “You who hate good and love evil; Who strip the skin from My people, And the flesh from their bones;  3 Who also eat the flesh of My people, Flay their skin from them, Break their bones, And chop them in pieces Like meat for the pot, Like flesh in the caldron."  4 Then they will cry to the LORD, But He will not hear them; He will even hide His face from them at that time, Because they have been evil in their deeds.

Well, we aren’t eating our unborn children yet, but one has to wonder about some of the uses of human collagen.

Clearly, this kind of treatment of other human beings created by God in His image is displeasing to Him! So much so, that He will not hear their prayers, or show His face to them! That’s the bad news!

But do not despair! The good news is there is no sin that we have committed that Jesus did not pay for on the cross, yes even the sin of abortion.  God welcomes the repentant heart and promises to forgive us when we confess our misdeeds. 1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

When one considers abortion techniques that are legal and common today, from the pills that prevent implantation of the conceived human being to the violent methodology of the curette, to the morning after pill, the infamous RU 486 dosages, and the cruel partial birth abortion procedures, one should also consider  Mic 2:1, “Woe to those who devise iniquity, And work out evil on their beds! At morning light they practice it, Because it is in the power of their hand.”

Pray for these people who come up with and promote these different ways of destroying God’s precious children, because, believe, me, you do not want to be on the receiving end of God’s “Woe!”

Abortion is evil according to Micah 3:2, let us turn from this evil in our world today and promote life! It is God given, and as the Psalmist states in  Ps 127:3, “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
