WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL (SEPTEMBER 14-20, 2014): “ALL THINGS WORK FOR GOOD FOR THOSE WHO LOVE GOD”

By Lauren Muzyka, Executive Director, Sidewalk Advocates for Life

Verse(s): “All things work for good for those who love God.” — Romans 8:28

Reflection: No matter how messy things get in life, we are guaranteed — as followers of Christ — that if we submit all things to Him, He will make something beautiful out of ourdifficulties.

Here’s one example of that… I think back to Former Planned Parenthood Director Abby Johnson’s exodus from the largest abortion provider in the country, Planned Parenthood.  During her transition out, Planned Parenthood tried to sue her for speaking out against their pro-abortion operation.  However, Planned Parenthood’s threats — ironically — ended up creating more media hurrah around her story and made Abby even more famous, permitting the truth of her journey to get out there faster and further than ever imagined.

The story became so popular that it was written down and published in a joint publishing venture through a couple of major Christian publishing houses.  In fact, in the first 24 hours of its release,Unplanned shot up to the #8 bestseller on Amazon and #3 at Barnes & Noble.  Today, the book Unplanned is seen as a true pro-life classic — and a monumental game-changer in the battle for LIFE!

Call to Action: Never doubt how God can take your mess …and make it your message!

When you get the chance, read the bookUnplanned by Abby Johnson — it’s a story that will touch your life in a profound way!

If you’ve already read it, resolve to share it with a friend who has not read it yet — and watch hearts and minds be changed!

Facilities closed: 

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

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.
