IT’S NEVER WRONG TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT

He swears to his own hurt and does not change.  Psalm 15:4b

In the 1950s and 1960s mothers sought to make their children the best mannered, best clothed, and best educated children in the world.  Now children are viewed as an obstacle to a woman's freedom and her career.  One mother recently said, "My kids hang around my ankles and try to take all my time, but I kick them off.  'You're not going to wreck my life!' I say to them."

The killing of children has been increasing year by year.  From 1957-1970, was a 51% increase.  Now we have 2-4 million cases of battered children per year.  They are beaten, burned and drowned.  One mother cut out her children's eyes with razor blades; 90% of this happened in the children's own homes.  Most in single parent homes.

The midwives of Exodus 1 “feared God.” They risked their own lives to save children who were not their own. As a result, God blessed these women and gave them households. In a similar way, King David wrote in Psalm 15, “Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill?” This is followed by a description of a person of godly character and ends with, “He who does these things shall never be moved.” I doubt that the midwives of Exodus 1 would have obeyed Pharoah’s command even if threatened with death. So, dear friend, let me ask you, “What will it take to move you from obedience to God?” Jesus says, “Be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life” (Revelation 2:10).
