For You From The Word
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope. (1 Peter 1:3)
For You To Think About
Peter, the apostle who led the early Christian church, wrote letters to believers who faced difficulties. Peter’s words were meant to give them courage in the face of adversity.
His letters can be a big encouragement to women who face an unplanned pregnancy!
In 1 Peter 1:3, he points out that the future doesn’t depend on what we’ve done, but what God has done through Jesus.
Pregnant women can know that:
- He gives mercy (which women can appropriate immediately, in the midst of their difficulties)
- He gives a new birth through Christ (which can lead women to eternal life)
- He gives a living hope (which can provide women with courage to live day to day)
A woman’s life, worth, and future do not depend on her or who she is or what she has done … but on her loving Father’s acts and character. He gives us a Living Hope in Jesus Christ.
This is good news you can share with a pregnant woman today!
For You To Pray
Heavenly Father,
Help women who face an unplanned pregnancy know that their worth lies in You.
I praise You for being our Living Hope!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
