A Day To Mark

In case you somehow missed it, the Supreme Court made the decision today to overturn Roe v. Wade this morning.  I was preparing myself for something crazy to happen after that leak a while back, for this decision to somehow not come to fruition.  But despite my worries, the Lord was gracious to this country today!  

I just feel the need to mark this day, the day Roe c. Wade fell! And Lord willing, the beginning of the end of abortion in this country. We’ve destroyed 60+ million babies in this country over the last 50 years. This country deserves judgement for that, but God has shown mercy to us.  I didn’t think I’d see Roe v. Wade overturned in my lifetime, though I’ve prayed for it for years.  In a year, there will be human beings alive who wouldn’t have been because of the Supreme Court’s decision today! Praise the Lord! 

I'm so thankful for the courage and fortitude of the Supreme Court with all the pressure they must have been feeling after the leak a month ago. I'm so thankful that Trump got those four years to put some of those justices on the court.  Some of these people are probably believers, many of them probably are not, but I'm amazed at how the Lord "turns the hearts of kings wherever He wishes" (Proverbs 21:1).  God did that, through the actions of unexpected people, through everything that led to this historic decision from the highest court in the land.

I've explained about abortion to my kids.  When it came up a few years back, I didn't need to do very much beyond just telling my kids (age appropriately) what abortion is, and they were immediately adamantly pro-life.  Sometimes children are wiser than adults.   

I told them about the Supreme Court decision today, and we celebrated and cheered!  When I explained about what it all would mean, their immediate question was whether abortion would be allowed in our state, and with sorrow I had to tell them yes.  Our state is wicked.  We need to keep praying, keep voting for the pro-life candidates, keep defending the unborn.  Then we prayed for an end to abortion altogether. 

My hope and prayer now is that I will get to celebrate with my kids again when abortion is banned across the United States.  Soon, Lord, please!  

Tonight is for celebrating and telling the kids what God has done!  Don't let anyone dampen the day for you, friends!  Today is a very good day!

“Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works…The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭145:3-5, 8-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

"This will be written for the generation to come,
That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord."

Psalm 102:18 NKJV
