Dangerous places to live

After last night, Election 2012, the two most dangerous places to live in all the world have not changed and will not change: Israel and the mother's womb.

God calls his saints to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6). Now would be a very good time to take this to heart for Israel now has no national ally.

God calls us to be a mouthpiece for those who have no say and to be a defender for the poor and needy (Proverbs 31:8-9). Now would be a very good time to pray for the unborn child as the most pro-abortion president in our nation's history has attained a second term. Things will only get more dire.

Serve in your community at local pregnancy care centers. You don't have to be a counselor. They need administrative help, yard work to be done, and maintenance work almost every day of the year. Write letters to your congressman and local officials. A simple letter to the editor speaking out for the sanctity of human life is a good and easy thing to do.

No doubt folks in Israel are not comforted by the vote. If the unborn only knew, their terror would be greater still. Yet we press on trusting our God and King and laboring endlessly until the day of his appearing. The darker the night, the brighter will his light shine in and through us (Matthew 5:16). Let it shine!
