#2012 #election news

While it's not my custom to send devotional thoughts out on Saturday or
Sunday, I do hope you'll join me for just a brief thought.

It's the final weekend before Tuesday's election, and well, this is HUGE!

For the past few days we've been considering just three things by way of our
short daily devotionals. Each day we're posing a question to the
presidential hopefuls, considering a Scripture or two, and saying a prayer.

Today, I want to hit what has been dubbed one of the "moral" issues with
respect to the election. Frankly, I believe everything we've discussed up to
this point are moral matters.

Question:
In all likelihood, over the next four years you will have the opportunity to
appoint replacements for the highest court in the land. It is crucial that
you and your appointees will honor all human life--in and out of the womb.
Sir, will you respect such life, and will you condemn and correct laws that
authorize the taking of human life--at any "term?"

Scripture:
"For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the
babe leaped in my womb for joy" (Lk. 1:44).

"These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto
him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood" (Pro.
6:16-17).

Prayer:
Father, righteousness does exalt a nation, and please help our leaders to do
right when it comes to the unborn, and born. There are those who would take
the life of innocent children before they ever see the light of day. Too,
there are those that take the life of a child moments after they are born.
Father, please give our politicians hearts that will see the need to allow
all babies to be born and pursue happiness--conceived in want, those
unwanted, conceived by rape, or even incest. Father, please protect our
children by helping us to elect leaders that will honor and cherish all
human life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
