Well, the unexpected happened this week. Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his intention to retire from serving on the United States Supreme Court. Appointed in 1988, Justice Kennedy has leaned liberal in many of his decisions over the years. Now, President Trump has the opportunity to appoint a Justice who will swing the Supreme Court toward more conservative values.
Those supportive of the abortion agenda realize Roe vs. Wade is in jeopardy of being overturned in the future. The Washington Post just published an article this week called, The Terrifying And Terrible Prospect Of Justice Kennedy Retiring. The terrifying and terrible issue raised in the article? Roe vs. Wade.
Politics over the next weeks and months is sure to turn even more ugly than usual. President Trump will almost assuredly seek to appoint a conservative, and liberals will fight and claw to keep it from happening. One of the most compelling prospects in the last presidential election was that whomever was elected would have the opportunity to appoint 1-3 Supreme Court Justices. The reality of future Supreme Court nominations was the number one factor in the candidate that I chose to vote for in the last election.
Now, more than ever, the leaders of our nation need our prayer support. Would you join me in praying for wisdom, resolve and courage? Religious freedom and the pro-life movement could receive such a boost with the appointment of the right person. May we have God-honoring people interpreting our constitution. May our nation seek to please God first before agendas or culture. Thy will be done, Father. Amen.
