An Article, and a Prayer
I'm on a social media fast for several weeks and cannot share, with a simple click, some of the articles I read here and there. So I'm going to post some here, for now.
Kids Without Car Seats: How My Newborn Exposes Our Nation - This article is another that points out the obvious disconnect between our devotion to child safety (the example of car seats) and our disdain for the unborn. Even if we aren't "pro-choice" and in favor of sacrificing unborn children at the altar of sexual freedom, too many of us (myself included) do little to fight against it. We are aware, yet we do little to nothing.
Proverbs 24:10-12 are some of the most uncomfortable and convicting verses in the entire Bible:
If you falter in a time of trouble,
how small is your strength!
Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?
Lord, give me the strength to stand up for what I know is right, and stand against what I know is wrong. I feel powerless in that I don't know what is the best way to stand up, to fight. My prayer is that my eyes be opened to how I can be most effective in advocating for the unborn.
