Roe v Wade Anniversary: YHWH and his chosen instruments

   Those of us who stand for the defense of the pre-born and biblical grounds are understandably concerned for the avowed pro-abortion commitment of our new president.  Will he make good on his campaign promises to Planned Parenthood and other death merchants?  Time will tell.

   It is comforting to remember that God has more than once raised up leaders to do his will — whether they intend to or not.  I was reading Isaiah 45 this morning, and share here with you YHWH’s words to Cyrus, his chosen instrument:

Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus,

whose right hand I have grasped,

to subdue nations before him

and to loose the belts of kings,

to open doors before him

that gates may not be closed:

“I will go before you

and level the exalted places,

I will break in pieces the doors of bronze

and cut through the bars of iron,

I will give you the treasures of darkness

and the hoards in secret places,

that you may know that it is I, the Lord,

the God of Israel, who call you by your name.

For the sake of my servant Jacob,

and Israel my chosen,

I call you by your name,

I name you, though you do not know me.

I am the Lord, and there is no other,

besides me there is no God;

I equip you, though you do not know me,

that people may know, from the rising of the sun

and from the west, that there is none besides me;

I am the Lord, and there is no other. (vv. 1-6)
