1 baby is is killed in the safety of his/her mother’s womb by the devastating act of abortion every 30 seconds in the United States alone. That is nearly 3,000 innocent lives taken each day in our county! A child is not a choice and, yes, abortion is murder. As Christians, may we have the boldness to be a voice for the voiceless, protect the pre-born child, and stand for God-given life. Will you be a voice for the voiceless?

Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy.-Proverbs31:8

For any woman contemplating abortion, please don’t kill your baby! Choose life.❤️ You will never regret it! There are people who want to help you. Find helpful resources at 180movie.com

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!-Is 5:20

It is said 1 in 4 women will have an abortion before the age 45. Perhaps you have had an abortion… The guilt, depression, and void will follow you your entire life apart from forgiveness and redemption found in Christ Jesus. The good news is, through Jesus Christ we are offered forgiveness for ALL our sins! “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8. He promises to cleanse us from all unrighteousness as we repent before Him, confessing our sins. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9! If you have repented and trusted in Jesus, then your sins are forgiven and you are a new creation in Christ Jesus. Visit NeedGod.com!

“The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.”
Psalms 138:8

✨It’s Monday!! ✨🙌🏻 Started the day out in the Word and was completely renewed by His Truth and the promises found within!! It prepared me for the busy day! If you don’t already, I can’t encourage you enough to make a goal of starting your day off in His Living Word. Before you set eyes on your phone notifications or jump into the day’s work or even before your feet even touch the ground(if possible-I know many mom’s have their feet touching the ground all night and morning to care for their precious little ones), nourish your soul and renew it in the Word of God! I love how Jeremiah 15:16 puts it, “Thy Words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” 💗

An extremely simple and practical tip I’ve found helps me prioritize my Bible reading is using an actual physical Bible when doing my morning and evening reading. the Bible apps are great tools and come in handy but believe me… the detraction of notifications is real(can I hear a few amens?!😉) I will keep my main bible on my nightstand next to my bed so it’s ready to greet me when I wake up. Ok, back to work here!

QUESTION: I would love to hear what books of the Bible you are enjoying today and leave some helpful tips on getting His Word in first thing in the morning!! Drop a comment in the comment section below!👇🏻👇🏻

“He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.”
Psalm 55:18

✨“Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6:17-20‬ ‭

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭

Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10✨Amen! 🙌🏻 That is a promise I am holding on to as I bodly walk into 2020 in His perfect Strength!

“This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.  It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.  They are new every morning: great is THY faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:21-23

💫 Each Christmas there’s a word that jumps out to me and becomes my “theme word” for the season. Does anyone else have this happen to them or am I alone? 🙈❤️ This year that word was PEACE! This is a season we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the long awaited Messiah! He is Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of PEACE[Isaiah 9:6]. God manifest in the flesh[1 Timothy 3:16, John 1:1-4, John 1:14], The One who has saved His people from their sins[Matt 1:21]! In Christ, we are promised a PERFECT PEACE[Isaiah 26:3, John 14:27, Romans 15:13]. ✨My favorite verses this season have been from Luke 1:78-79 where it says, “Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of PEACE.” Through the tender mercy of our God we can have peace… that is amazing and so humbling! Jesus Christ(Lord and Savior of the universe) is our Peace, He is the Prince of Peace, and the giver of perfect Peace. It is my prayer that you have found perfect peace that comes through the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord! “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

”That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father” Ephesians 2:12-18

✨“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.…. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:1-4,14

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Matt 11:28-29
