BI-WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL (September 20 – October 3, 2015): “I AM DOING A NEW THING”

by Jeff Reedy, Shipping Coordinator, Sidewalk Advocates for Life

Verse(s): “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” — Isaiah 43:19

Reflection: God is up to something awesome! See? He is doing a new thing. From the visit of the Pope to the United States, which is bringing love, joy, and unity to the body of Christ — whether Catholic or not — to the many states and entities defunding Planned Parenthood, to the record closures of abortion facilities since 1973, to the over 800 babies saved so far in Sidewalk Advocates for Life the last 18 months, and so much more …God is doing amazing things!

Let’s press forward in the mercy and grace that He is preparing before us. Let’s remember the love and peace He has put in our hearts and extend that love, grace, and mercy to those who are still caught in the web of abortion and its hatred of life. He is making a way in the wilderness ahead of us. Let’s continue to walk in that way!

Faith Challenge: With so many reasons to be excited, let’s make sure our focus always stays on His love, mercy and direction as we continue to pray for more lives to be saved and more workers to be rescued!

Facilities closed: 

The permanent closure of an abortion or abortion-referral facility that had a Sidewalk Advocates for Life presence.

Workers who quit: 

An abortion worker who was influenced by prayer and sidewalk advocacy to leave the business. We refer all workers to And Then There Were None, a ministry that assists abortion workers in transitioning out of the industry.

 

Hopeful saves: 

A “hopeful save” is recorded when a pregnant woman leaves the abortion/abortion-referral facility still pregnant to “think about it,” armed with life-affirming literature and a referral to the local pregnancy resource center

 

Babies saved: 

A baby is recorded as a “save” when a pregnant woman accepts our offer of help at the local pregnancy resource center (PRC), verbally shares that she has chosen life, or gives us very clear signs that she has chosen life.
