Scripture Amos 1:13 Thus says the LORD:
\n\u201cFor three transgressions of the people of Ammon, and for four,
\nI will not turn away its punishment,
\nBecause they ripped open the women with child in Gilead,
\nThat they might enlarge their territory. <\/p>\n
Observation: I\u2019ve seen this verse in other scriptures in the Old Testament that they ripped open the women with child and the thought is so disgusting it\u2019s hard to imagine. Isn\u2019t that what we do today? We may not rip the woman open but they go into the womb and either poison the baby or remove their brain. It is being done now in the ninth month just before they are to be delivered. These babies are God\u2019s creation even before they were conceived. He knew us before we were born and knitted them together in their mother\u2019s womb. God is just and this will be punished. One of the reasons this is done is because of a group that wants to control the population so they can enlarge their territory.<\/p>\n
Application: We need to stand up for the rights of unborn children and do what we can to stop this sin against God. God will not let this go unpunished, because He is just.<\/p>\n
Prayer Dear Lord I don\u2019t know how you forgive us for allowing your children to die. We deserve your judgement as a country, but we beg for mercy and ask for guidance on how to stop this slaughter of children. Repay the evil to those who are in control of doing this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
