Taking Back The Land
The last few days have been very interesting. It began with a disagreement between my wife and I that we couldn’t seem to get behind us. Immediately after that first day, I became sick and then she became sick. After about four days of that, last night while in bed I woke up every hour, struggling with some thought or another, I would say out loud, “No I am not thinking about that.” It was easier because I was worn out and was able to shut my mind off to sleep. But an hour later I would wake up. In about the middle of the night, I woke up and thought about our situation, and decided that it was time to just not give way to the division between us. I said a quick prayer of thanks to God for helping me, and went to sleep. A scripture came to mind as I prayed.
Psalms 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
There will be work ahead of us because we have to figure out how to better communicate with each other. But God wants us all to work on our walk. Not that it is meant to be a struggle. It is not.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Following the Messiah is easier than not following Him. The lie of the enemy is that our walk is hard and not following God is easier. That is just a plain lie. Our God loves us, and is on our side.
Prayer
Farther, we exalt You as the Most High King of the universe. We praise and thank You for Your mighty works on our behalf. We ask today that you forgive us and help us to trust in You. Please send us today our deliverance, healing, and provision in abundance. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
