2 Sm 24:2,10 (stop those trains!)

Welcome God now with this LIFE Group Devotion (FB), provided by LIFE Runners(FB). Guest Authors schedule. LIFE Minute radio.

"...register the people, that I may know their number. Afterward, however, David regretted having numbered the people, and said to the LORD: I have sinned grievously in what I have done." ~ 2 Sm 24:2,10 (full readings)

Pat's Reflections: David was counting because he lost faith that God provided enough for the war.  Outside an abortion mill, an army of one is enough to show the love of Christ to a mother and father...so they can stop the abortion train.  At the DC March for Life mini-Rally (photos), I reminded the crowd that 1.5 million American lives were lost during the Civil War, and we have lost nearly a Civil War amount of lives to abortion every year since Roe (1973).  At the DC Holocaust Museum, Paige and I were reminded that 6 million Jewish people were lost at concentration camps during WWII (and many Priests/Pastors/special needs).  While touring Dachau Concentration Camp in 1987, I heard a story that German church services would sing louder to drown out the cries of those on the trains going through their towns to the concentration camps.  Our culture is doing exactly that today...singing over the reality of abortion in our towns.  God has provided enough of us Pro-Lifers to pray every day at every abortion mill in America.  We will not sing over the cries of abortion-minded mother and fathers...we will help them stop those trains!

* Pray/Fast:
Prayer connects us with God’s will and His miracles, changing us & helping others. Fast from things that take your eyes off Jesus. Those who pray together stay together, and close to God!
* Save Unborn (and family): Abortion reality (images)…#1 death cause (22% pregnancies). Prov 24:11 and Jer 1:5. “A great poverty that a child must die that you might live as you wish.” Mother Teresa.
* Evangelize: Make room for unbelievers and re-evangelization of self, by way of prayer (relationship) and following Christ’s example of love (service/sacrifice/mercy). Matt 28:19.
