Yom Sheni, Shevat 18, 6005 – February 1, 2021
Have Courage
When I think about what it takes to be one that encourages others, I find myself considering what that word really means. For me it means to put courage into others. And each of us has the opportunity to do that. We can say words to others to get them to be strong and of good courage. It is what our Savior Yeshuah did.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Reading this in the KJV, one might think it means “Don’t worry. Be happy.” The word translated “good cheer” means courage. This is also what is spoken to all believers (Israel at the time) when they were headed to the promised land.
Deuteronomy 31:1 And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
2 And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the Lord hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
3 The Lord thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath said.
4 And the Lord shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.
5 And the Lord shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.
6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
8 And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
Courage. Good courage means to be alert in mind and body. We are to be of good courage.
Be of good courage today, for YAH is with us.
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. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Awaken Your people, Father, to the truth that lies in You and You alone. I ask You Father, this day, to deliver this nation and the world from the evil that the enemy has planned. Rise up my King. Rise up my King. Deliver Your people O YAH. Deliver this earth from the bondage and slavery of evil men that consort with the enemy. Let it be so. Break the backs of bondage that the documentation might be revealed of truth, and their evil documentation confounded. Protect us. Cover me. Cover me. You alone are King. You alone can intervene. You alone can set it right today. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
