Who Will Speak Up For the Little Ones

 

 

Good day! I’m Duane Matz and this is Today’s Living Word:

 

Isa 13:16 Their children also will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; Their houses will be plundered And their wives ravished. 17 "Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, Who will not regard silver; And as for gold, they will not delight in it. 18 Also their bows will dash the young men to pieces, And they will have no pity on the fruit of the womb; Their eye will not spare children.

 

Let me ask you something. What are your thoughts as you hear or read these words from Isaiah? What do you think when you read Ps 137:9 Happy the one who takes and dashes Your little ones against the rock!

 

Are you repulsed by such vivid language in the Word of God? Do you want to just skip this portion because the word picture used is too much?  Defenseless infants dashed against rocks ought to leave a horrific image on our mind.

So let’s ignore the reality here and move onto something else right? Well the reality of the matter is that in the United States alone, since the legalization of abortion in 1973, over 63 million defenseless unborn children have been dashed into pieces against the rocks of the Roe V Wade decision legalizing abortion.

 

Do these images bother you enough to do something about it? Will you take a stand for life? Will you support crisis pregnancy centers and ministries financially or with your time and talents? Will you educate others on God’s view of life? Will you vote for candidates who unwaveringly hold to standing up for the rights of unborn children? Will you minister to those who have had abortions and are now overwhelmed by guilt?

 

Will you do something to show you cherish life from conception to grave? Will you as Phil Keaggy has sung, “speak up for the little ones/” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNCiLhoS6eQ

 

Pr 24:11 Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.  12 If you say, "Surely we did not know this," Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not  render to each man according to his deeds?
