1 Samuel 19: 1-7
Saul discussed his intention of killing David with his son Jonathan and with all his servants. But Saul's son Jonathan, who was very fond of David, told him: "My father Saul is trying to kill you. Therefore, please be on your guard tomorrow morning; get out of sight and remain in hiding. I, however, will go out and stand beside my father in the countryside where you are, and will speak to him about you. If I learn anything, I will let you know." Jonathan then spoke well of David to his father Saul, saying to him: "Let not your majesty sin against his servant David, for he has committed no offense against you, but has helped you very much by his deeds. When he took his life in his hands and slew the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great victory for all Israel through him, you were glad to see it. Why, then, should you become guilty of shedding innocent blood by killing David without cause?" Saul heeded Jonathan's plea and swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be killed." So Jonathan summoned David and repeated the whole conversation to him. Jonathan then brought David to Saul, and David served him as before.
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for an end to abortion and for the Holy Spirit to guide those who will be proclaiming the truth this day in speaking out against abortion.
"As the LORD lives, he shall not be killed."
Today is the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Let us dedicate our work today as an offering to God for an end to this modern-day holocaust. Our God is good, and we must trust in Him that He will hear our prayers. You are good, and many rejoice in your life.
"America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts--a child--as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. - Mother Theresa
Take care and God Bless.
