Yom Shlishi, Av 7, 6005 – July 28, 2020
Change Direction
As believers, we are first human. We were born as humans. We chose to become those that believe in our Messiah Yeshuah. It is because of this belief that we made our choice. It is because of this choice that the door was opened to us to the ways of our Father God. This is not unlike Moses.
Psalms 103:6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
The choice is simple. We are willing to say that there is a God, it is not us, and that He came in the flesh as Yeshuah (Jesus) to save us. We can say that He is our God, Savior, and King, that we turn to Him, then we are home.
Romans 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
We see that Paul quoted Moses not just in verse 5, but in verses 5-8. We can make the choice to turn every day. We can turn to our Father who is in heaven and choose Him through the death and resurrection of His Son, Yeshuah (Jesus) as the way to everlasting life.
We can choose to change directions on anything at any moment. The choice happens in every moment.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH. Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Keep us from temptations. Restore Your people, Father. Send in to this reality the financial provision which You have declared. Let it be so. Let it be so. We ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yehsuah HaMashiach. Amen.
