Yom Shishi, Eighth Month 20, 6006 – November 5, 2021

In The Face

There comes a moment, that final moment, just before one faces off with the giant. At that moment many things can come to mind. Sitting here thinking of such a moment now upon me, I choose to reflect upomn David. He trusted only in what He had learned from YAH in tending to the sheep. And yet, He had confidence in YAH, not himself. He trusted that YAH would guide him in what to do and how to do it. As we stand in the face of such challenges, we must each decide what YAH is saying to us. Upon hearing, we must do it. Shema. In the end, it is all about what YAH is doing and not about what any person is doing.

1 Samuel 17:40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise e the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I love You. Let the coins flow YAH. Let the dam burst that holds back the blessings YAH. I love You. I love You. I love You. I call to the whirlwinds. Come now. Come now. Deliver to me the prosp[erity YAH has determined from before the beginning. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
