All The Evildoers Boast
As she cut across the parking lot I asked, "Excuse me, Ma'am. Why are you here today?" Quickly reaching for her cell phone she ignored me.
But a few more steps and she replied, "What did you say?"
"Why are you here today?"
"I don't think that's any of your business," she sharply responded.
"Do you know that they are killing children here today?"
Pride falls over her face as she walks past me. Now a few feet away and continuing on her path, her face turns back towards me and boasts, "I've killed 10 children." Then without an ounce of remorse or hesitation she makes her way to the sidewalk stretching out her arm with a flagrant finger flying high. In her hardness of heart she continues down the path of destruction.
This is just one of many, many stories I and others could share from our experiences Thursday mornings at Planned Parenthood in Bloomington. Time after time I've wanted to write concerning them, but now I've decided to. I want you to see how hardened our hearts our towards the murder of babies. I want you to know that we allow 1,350,000 children a year to be murdered and for the most part, we do NOTHING about it. We are unwilling to agree with Psalmist who says:
O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth!
Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve!
O LORD, how long she the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast.
They crush your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; and they say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive."
Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise?
He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?
He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge - the LORD - knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD, and whom you teach out of your law, to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?
If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
When I thought, "My foot slips," your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.
When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statute?
They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.
He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out.
-Psalm 94
