Innocent Blood

 Scripture:

“Show no pity. You must purge from Israel the guilt of shedding innocent blood, so that it may go well with you.”  ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭19:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

This Scripture speaks of a murderer who commits murder and then runs to a city of refuge.  They avenger of blood would go to the city of refuge and bring him back and he was to die.  The city of refuge was for those who innocently or accidentally caused someone’s death.  It says the shedding of innocent blood must be purged from Israel so it can go well for them.

Application:

The worst case of shedding innocent blood today would be in the abortion industry.  Innocent children are aborted and never given a chance to live.  For Israel, God said it couldn’t go well for them as long as innocent blood was being shed.  For America, we must realize that shedding innocent blood can’t be applauded and paid for by our government if we want God’s blessing on our land.  We need Roe vs. Wade overturned in the United States and abortion needs to be illegal once again.  God said, “Show no pity” at the beginning of this verse for the shedding of innocent blood.

Prayer:

Father, empower the Church to arise and put an end to abortion in our country.  Show us how to go about it.  We have prayed for years.  Show us what actions to take.  Raise up government leaders who will show mo pity for abortion.  Elevate those who will stand up for the innocent into leadership positions in our nation.  Take the blindness from the eyes of those who think it is a woman’s right to choose to have that child or not.  Bring an end to this terrible act in our nation.

Yours,

Jeff
