“Yet it pleased the LORD
to bruise him; he hath put him to
grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD
shall prosper in his hand.” Isaiah 53:10
The above verse was quoted
in this morning’s church service and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. Although
the thought that came to me didn’t have anything to do with what our wonderful
pastor was preaching I couldn’t get rid of the thought that came to me.
Like many of you I have
had to see and hear the horrific videos of Planned Parenthood that have been released.
I groan within over how callused the words and actions are of those that do
these dastardly things! This world has become so evil. The thoughts of man are
very evil and yet there seems to be no shame at all. “Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were
not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among
them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith
the LORD.” Jerimiah 8:12…
The word in Isaiah that
tugged at my heart this morning was, “Bruise”.
This word also carries the meaning, “crush”! This is the very word the abortion doctor
used when she spoke of harvesting babies organs! I believe in this verse you
can see an unborn baby in its innocence suffering as Christ did. Don’t get
worried I’m not putting them in the same category but just as an innocent lamb
was used for the sacrifice, the aborted child is also a glimpse of the barbarism
given to our Lord Jesus!
It is as evident as
never before the need for revival in the hearts of men! Our country is on the road to swift destruction
if we don’t! I have never seen a time
like we are seeing now! Our only hope is
repentance! While the world is on a quick road to Hell God will not hold the
believer guiltless that doesn’t take a stand for righteousness! The Apostle Paul said it like this, “And even
as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil
things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are
worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” Romans 1:28-32
I have always believed
that after God the family is most precious. How in the world do you have a
family without babies? By the way this
is the command of God! Today they are treated by some as just so much junk, a hindrance
and nothing more! May God have mercy upon
us and especially on those (mainly women) who have no regard for life! Shame,
oh such shame!
When Moses arrived in
Egypt they killed the first born. When Jesus arrived in Bethlehem they killed
the male children. Today we kill them
all! Do you suppose if something
happened when the first born were killed and also when the male children were, that
perhaps when all are killed something of great importance is also going to
happen? I think so! Even so come Lord
Jesus!
Evangelist: Delle R Elsom
