bound4life

bound4Life; “What does it sound like when 10 million people pray for the same thing?”This site gives me Holy Spirit chills. This organization is now focusing its efforts in support of the abortion ban here in South Dakota, a newly passed law which has been referred to a public vote and will be on the ballot this November. While many see the abortion issue as political in nature, I firmly believe it is spiritual, and the only way the November referrendum will pass is with God’s help. We need to pray.
I had never heard of bound4life before this morning, but it reminds me of one of my favorite verses; Job 40:3-5;

Job Promises Silence
3 Then Job answered the LORD and said:
4 “Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further.”

How often do we speak in our prayers when we should be silent? Watermark has an excellent song called Still on their album Constant that talks about our need to be silent before God. We all know Psalm 46:10 well enough, but we don’t heed its words well enough.
