I Prayed have prayed
Father God, we pray that our Supreme Court justices would rule in true justice and righteousness.

[T]he Wall Street Journal editorial board warned last fall that liberal Justice Elena Kagan was trying to “lure” conservative justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh to accept her redefinition of textualism.

“The larger threat is to the new Court and the use, or misuse, of textualism,” the editors explained. “If the plain binary meaning of ‘sex’ in 1964 as a man or woman can be redefined [by the court] to fit today’s cultural politics, then textualism as a legal doctrine becomes meaningless. Justice Scalia might say it tortures the language more than it can bear. Textualism would become merely one more tool for judges to impose their politics on the law—based on whatever creative uses Justice Kagan can conjure to apply it.”

If we’ve learned anything over the last decade it’s that the left will go to extreme lengths to torture the English language, redefining words, declaring formerly benign words racist dog whistles, and, most dangerously, using the courts to reinterpret the language of decades-old statutes.

“During oral arguments, [Kagan] sought to redefine sex in Title VII to mean more than the binary choice of a man or woman,” said the WSJ editors, adding, “Justice Kagan is a shrewd court politician and her goal in politically significant cases is to attract one of the conservative justices to form a 5-4 liberal majority.”

“Her main target on the Title VII cases is Justice Gorsuch,” they rightly predicted back in November. “And sure enough, in oral arguments, he suggested that he might agree with Justice Kagan’s nouveau interpretation of sex. At one point he said, ‘The textual evidence is really close, really close, and we’re not talking about extra textual stuff.’”

Kagan succeeded in convincing Gorsuch to join the liberal majority in coming up with a novel—and truly Orwellian—definition of the word “sex.” . . .

Lord God Almighty I pray your Holy Spirit be at work in us to realize the only good reason to change the Constitution or to put up a sign welcoming felons illegals and MS-13 terrorists is to help destroy restraint on leadership greed! So that those in power continue to get what they want! While their people continue to starve! As we see happening with all socialist leadership which I mean must include our supreme Court justices that permit such ungodliness to continue!

We must prayer for our godly justices and leaders to be aware of the enemy’s attacks to cause division among God’s people who seek to obey Him and to do what is right in God’s eye.

On June 18, my daily devotional reading of Proverbs 18, a chapter a day that corresponds to the numerical day, read:
“Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.
When wickedness comes, so does contempt, and with shame comes reproach.
It is not good to be partial to the wicked and so deprive the innocent of justice.
The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.
The mouths of fools are their undoing, and their lips are a snare to their very lives.
Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.
To answer before listening— that is folly and shame.
The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out.”

May God judge those who meted justice without wisdom, who expressed their opinions without understanding. May they cry out in repentance and seek to do good according to Your righteousness O Lord.

This latest decision from the Supreme Court gives rise to why we must be diligent in prayer for them as well as the President, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, all senators and representatives and all governmental agencies. Our prayers can make a difference just as they did for Esther. It is our time as Christians to stand in the gap and be the “Repairers of the Breach”. God is counting on us.
