We forever need God's continued guidance, wisdom, and favor in our vital work to help protect innocent life at every stage.
The Value of Life
"Yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward." (Job 5:7)
This week, we intentionally focus our hearts and minds on the sanctity of life. Why do we regard life as sacred and valuable? It comes and it goes, like a breath in the wind, plagued by trials and troubles every step of the way. Troubles are inevitable on this earth (see John 16:33). Why, then, is such a wearisome and confusing thing as human life considered "sacred"?
From the beginning, God set humans apart from everything else He created. He declared humanity to be the crown of creation, because He made humans in His own image (Gen. 1:26-27). We are not set apart from all other creation because we walk upright or because we have a higher level of intellectual function than any other species. Those attributes, while convenient, are not what make humans different - and infinitely more valuable - than all other plants or animals. Our distinguishing element is the fact that God, the Creator, intentionally created us to bear His image, to be like Him in purpose and function, to reflect and represent Him in a way no other area of creation can. As such, we have been given the grace to be able to relate to Him in a way that is unique in all creation.
Have you ever wondered that one of the Ten Commandments prohibits making for ourselves any "graven images" (KJV) or carved idols (Deut. 5:8). And yet, within the first two chapters of Genesis, God said He made His own little images of Himself out of clay - Adam and Eve. It's almost sacrilegious of Him (except that He is God!). He did not make these little ones as something for Him to worship; He made them to be special objects of His love. Let's not forget that these images of God failed miserably to live up to the fullness of their calling, as does every hand-made image of God walking the earth today. That is why we worship the Creator and not the things He created, and that is also why Jesus, being the perfect "image of the invisible God" (Col. 1:15), is the only One worthy of our worship and praise. Still, our cosmic status remains invaluable to the One who created it all, as evidenced by the personal life and death He took upon Himself in our form, that we, despite our fallen state, might be redeemed eternally.
In Your Time of Prayer Today
Meditate on Psalm 19:1. The passage tells us "the heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork." Rom. 1:20 echoes this by telling us that God's invisible attributes, such as His eternal power and divine nature, are revealed in the world around us. What unique attributes of God are reflected in humanity that are not revealed in the rest of creation?
Read Psalm 8. Take some time to meditate on how much God values you over all the rest of His creation. Pray that He would open your eyes to the depths of His love for you, His hand-made image of clay made to carry His own Spirit. Pray that as He opens your eyes to His love for you, He would also help you (and others) to see the same great love He has for each person around you, including the unborn.
