But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma
of the knowledge of Him in every place. For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 (NASB)

Silencing the Innocent

To quote the popular cultural buzz phrase, "Yes, we can!" We can lift the ban to funding abortions overseas and pretend their is a middle ground in the abortion arena. Consider the recent inference by a key politician, "less babies helps the economy." 

It's a sad commentary in our nation when leaders make decisions and policies that destroy life. In Proverbs 19:21, we read, "Many plans are in a man's heart, But the counsel of the LORD will stand." There is great comfort in this verse and its reality. 

Turning back a couple of chapters, I read this reminder in Proverbs 16:1-5, 

The plans of the heart belong to man,
    But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.
All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight,
    But the LORD weighs the motives.
Commit your works to the LORD
    And your plans will be established.
The LORD has made everything for its own purpose,
    Even the wicked for the day of evil.
Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD;
    Assuredly, he will not be unpunished.

Total of abortions since the 1973 Roe Vs. Wade decision has been approximately 49,551,703. Click here to read the full decision that killed a generation of people 36 years ago. Remember that the total amount of abortions does not include the ones that perhaps were done but not reported.

God's truth will prevail. Meanwhile, we recommit ourselves to pray and intercede for our nation and her leaders. We'll stand up and speak up when called upon in all reverence and meekness.
