Proverbs 1:16- “For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.”
This is the Scripture that came to mind as I watched two different women practically running in to the abortion mill on Saturday morning. They saw the sign upon arrival: Malachi…the reality of what they were getting ready to do to their own child….murder. One young mom caught a glimpse and immediately turned away, covering her face. The hurt, the pain, and the desperation were evident. She heard the pleas in the name of Jesus-that Jesus loves her and her child, that God created her baby for a purpose…the cries from caring Christians with compassion, praying as they spoke that she would not enter that place of death. But, she entered the building as fast as she could… the pull of Satan was strong…the battle was fierce.
To our knowledge, neither lady changed her mind that morning. We can only pray that the words spoken, and by the Holy Spirit’s power, her eyes will be opened to the truth of Jesus. As we all must do at some point in our lives, because we “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), may she realize the weight of her sin, and come before the Savior in repentance. May her broken heart be mended, and may she be set free from the clutches of the enemy (Isaiah 61:1). Not only does Satan want to take the LIFE of thousands of babies each day, but he is out to “steal, and to kill, and to destroy” the LIFE of these women and men as well. But Jesus said, “I am come that they may have LIFE, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). Continue to PRAY for the mothers and fathers who leave the abortion mill each day, after giving in to the deceptions of the enemy. May their feet no longer run to evil, but to JESUS!
