Choose Life

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: For nearly fifty years, one of the most divisive, polarizing issues we’ve faced as a nation has been the matter of abortion rights. In the coming weeks, as we await an official Supreme Court ruling on this issue, we can expect to see angry protests from those who believe that a woman should have an absolute right to terminate a pregnancy.

Poignantly, Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and while the debates rage on, there’s a central issue we can’t lose sight of. God is the Author of life. Every life, from the point of conception, is precious to Him. Every human being is fearfully and wonderfully made by our Creator God.

In Deuteronomy 30, God says, “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. . . . Now, choose life so that you and your children may live” (vv. 15, 19). Whatever else you may hear in the days ahead, don’t forget what God has said—choose life!

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
