For You From The Word
Defend the rights of the fatherless. (Isaiah 1:17, HCSB)
For You To Think About
On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have defended us and protected our lives by sacrificing their own.

There is no way we can repay those who have paid the ultimate price. Nor can we adequately thank their families, friends, and loved ones for their sacrifice.
Yet there is one way we can honor their memory: by choosing to defend life.
Those who face an unplanned pregnancy say what they need most in order to choose life is a supportive Friend. You can help these precious women, men, and their pre-born babies who may not be able to defend themselves. In doing so, you “Defend the rights of the fatherless” (Isaiah 1:17).
When you support a pregnant woman by accepting her, loving her, and providing for her practical needs, you honor those who have sacrificed their lives. You defend this woman by giving her a true choice – the choice for life. You also defend her unborn child.
For You To Pray
Loving Father,
Thank you for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Allow me to honor their memory by defending vulnerable women and their unborn.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
