On the downhill grade – headed for the weekend? You’d think we’d get tired of *always* aiming for the weekends – like we didn’t want to work! Well – sometimes we don’t – when the weather’s nice?
But here we are – good news sort of easing itself out from behind the scenery and we’re glad to see it – but have no set period to break out with rejoicing.
For my part – I’m not just trying to be an ideologician – arguing for the sake of argument. I really have a hard time thinking of a human being in its mother’s protective provision of a womb for safety and development etc. – being more vulnerable and lacking protection than anything else I can imagine. Even if it was not – I suppose it would be a very helpless being and worth being protected than… well what else? The Mental pictures of soldiers – Roman soldiers dressed in armour and fitted for war – dashing little ones against stones. It crushes the imagination.
The more I consider that the more I cannot twist my mind about the vulnerability and helplessness of a little baby in a wicker basket floating on the Nile amongst the weeds and grasses of the huge and mighty river. What chance does it (or he) have? That’s what I think of an abortion clinic. In one ward medical personnel striving and using all their talents and abilities to save lives – and just a few doors over other similarly equipped medical personnel effectively terminating with no thought of mercy another life. It’s … horrible.
Well… I cannot stay there. My imagination is not sufficiently acclimated to doing that. I have to leave the scene and pray for those who bear the responsibility. And I think right here is where I must stop for the day and commend you and other believers to the Lord’s tender and gracious mercies knowing HE will deliver us from these nightmares of … well I don’t know how to describe it any further without weeping or worse.
I’ll leave it for another day when we can marshal up the prayer for those who engage in such – and pray for the mother’s who are deprived of their motherhood. May the Lord bless us all.
IN HIM
