Day 17 of 40 day fast

3 more days and it’s 1/2 over!

“The Lord said, ‘My Spirit will not contend with, remain with, man forever, for he is mortal’...The Lord saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil at the time. The Lord was grieved that He had made man on the earth, and His heart was filled with pain...Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, ‘I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence b/c of them;.” (Gen 6)

A Jewish Rabbi translated verse 13: “’The end of all flesh has come before me for the land is filled with robbery b/c of them.’ The word translated ‘robbery’ (chamas) can also mean injustice, but is often translated in Christian bibles as violence. God is literally saying He destroyed the world b/c theft was allowed to go unchecked and justice was not in the land.” (Morning Star Journal)

Let these words sink deep into your spirit as they relate to abortion and what is happening in our land: robbery - theft - injustice - violence. Keep feeling God’s grief - pain. Pray about what God is revealing.

Isaiah 61:8
For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery for burnt offering.
