For You From The Word
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. (Psalm 82:3)
For You To Think About
On July 4, 1776, the thirteen American colonies unanimously adopted a Declaration of Independence. In its opening are these words:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” (emphasis added).
The dictionary tells us that “unalienable” means “not transferable.”
In other words, each American has the right to life that’s not transferable to another person. It remains the individual’s alone.
When you support a woman who faces an unplanned pregnancy and encourage her to choose life, you’re helping uphold her rights and the rights for the child she carries.
For You To Pray
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for our country and the rights given to us. Help our nation to preserve and defend the right to life for women and their children.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
