Dear Friends,
I hope you had a tremendous weekend!
Today's political topic is on the sanctify of life, what does God's Word have to say about the unborn?
Psalm 139 in a nutshell states that God knew all about us-every single bone, limb we were supposed to have, every physical feature. Verse 16 say that God saw our beings and every single part of us was written in a book and noted, even before we existed.
I have been studying this verse with some young ladies I mentor and I shared a book of 'in the womb' pictures to show them this verse in action and what they looked like when only God knew about them.
The booklet gave some interesting facts about an unborn life and I wanted to share a few FYI's that caught my attention as a eye opener that this unborn little one is indeed a living being, same as you and I.

~Did you know that as soon as life is conceived, this little one- at this time he is "smaller than a grain of sand contains all the genetic information for every detail of the newly created life- the color of hair and eyes, the intricate fine lines of the fingerprint, the physical appearance, the gender, the height and the skin tone."
~Did you know that at 21 days after conception a baby's heart is the first organ to function? It is the size of a poopy seed and yet it begins to beat! "The first signs of brain development are evident and the foundation for every organ system is already established and beginning to develop."
~At 4 weeks after conception, "the basic structure for the entire nervous system (brain and spinal cord) has formed. The eyes are developing and arm and legs buds are visible. The heart is beating about 80 times a minute."
~At 14 weeks a baby can find his thumb and suck.
~They can feel pain 18 weeks and more keenly at 22 weeks (partial birth abortion can take place up to 24 weeks).
These details and others caught the attention of young ladies I was speaking to. It gave more meaning to the Scripture have added below and helped them see themselves as God saw them before anyone, except God, had seen them. As you read the devot. and Scripture below, keep please these true facts in mind.
Lord bless you and yours this week!!
