How Would God Know? Does the Most High Know Anything?


After the Holocaust ended, German civilians were taken to Buchenwald concentration camp to see the atrocities that happened there. Over and over they were heard saying, "We didn't know." Now, because of the internet and social media, we have no excuse for ignorance [on abortion]. The hands of America are covered with blood...perhaps her eyes and ears are covered as well.


The above quote is from a woman named Kelly Clinger who is a warrior on behalf of the most helpless in our society: unborn babies. She wrote this in 2012 upon learning that late-term abortions were actually allowed up until the day a baby would otherwise be born. I can barely help but be overwhelmed with the evil of it all especially as news has broken that the abortion industry doesn't just murder babies; it sells their tissues for profit. So I prayed to God for understanding and the Holy Spirit reminded me of Psalm 73:

"I envied the arrogant
    when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
They say, "How would God know?
    Does the Most High know anything?"
When I tried to understand all this,
    it troubled me deeply
till I entered the sanctuary of God;
    then I understood their final destiny."


There is a day coming when the wickedness of this world will pass away like smoke and blow away like a vapor. God has won and will reveal the extent of His total victory through Christ who came to redeem the world and His children. As Psalm 73 also states:

"They are like a dream when one awakes;
    when you arise, Lord,
    you will despise them as fantasies."

I pray that all would repent of their wickedness and that the Church of Jesus Christ would stand powerfully at the risk of losing everything for the sake of those who cannot stand. It was what Jesus did for us when we were without hope and without God in the world.
