Bible Marginalia Series -#229
Jeremiah 31:15
Remembering the slaughter
of the innocent children.
And this cry still arises
in the lands around Bethlehem.
In all of our advancement,
and technology inventions,
we still wrestle with the very essence
of our tainted ways of living with each other.
The disrespect for human life.
For the innocent children- born and unborn.
Today a daughter is at the hospital
in labor to bear a son.
With doctors and nurses around
to help and preserve life.
Today we remember the young life
of a college friend of the children
in our family- taken in a car accident.
We do not know the moment of our deaths,
and the knowledge of salvation
is monumental and
gracious blessing when we lose loved ones.
Dear Lord,
Mayo guard and protect the children.
May we find more ways to impact
the lives and well-being of young lives.
May the mothers in labor
be kept safe and the babies born thrive.
May these new lives be blessed
with the gift of the knowledge
of sure faith in the waters of baptism.
May we be spurred on to share
this life-saving blessing with all young families
and their little ones.
In the name of Jesus we pray,
Amen.
