"In utero"

“in utero”

Blessings folk!

Today is a date that is honored and exalted among many in the land.
It is viewed as a day of “freedom”, of “choice”.

It is actually a day that reveals the evil of man’s heart.

On this date, forty-one years ago, the Supreme Court found a previously unseen “right” in the Constitution to kill unborn infants...in the name of “choice”.

The federal government has no right to such a decision.
The States do, but we are not speaking of that at the moment.

Some 55 million have died in the exercise of this “right”.
It is a holocaust beyond anything done by Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Lincoln et al.

Perhaps the saddest thing in my eyes is that many professing believers find nothing wrong with such. There are many phrases thrown about to support the horror, yet the truth of the Lord is clear.

“In utero” is life.
Life developing.
Life growing.

Psalm 139:13-24

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Hear the Truth

  • God possessed our reigns
  • God has covered us in the womb
  • We are fearfully and wonderfully made
  • None of our substance in the womb was hid from God
  • He saw all...even as we developed
  • He fashioned
  • He wrote in His book all about us
  • God’s thoughts of us are precious
  • God will judge the wicked

May we all do what verse 23 states…
  • Search me O God
  • Know my heart
  • Try me
  • Know my thoughts
  • See if there be any wicked ay in me
  • Lead me in the everlasting way

The way of murder is wickedness.
Repent.
Confess.
Then, trust the Lord to lead in the way everlasting.
He will…to the praise of the glory of His grace...
