Beyond What We See
Each of us has our own perspective on life and the world around us. There is more going on in this universe than what we can see for we stand in only one place. Our Father is not so. He sees all and watches over us. He is watching to see our hearts and minds, and works in our lives to move us toward Him.
Jeremiah 17:10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
But God is merciful. If our God Yahuah (Lord) were to fully recompence us for what we do, none of us would make it. But instead, He is full of mercy. David knew this and called out to Yahuah (Lord) for His mercy very often.
Psalms 109:21 But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
David did not lead the perfect life by any means. But he was still able to take comfort in knowing that God was with him He knew that God was watching out for him. And perhaps one of the most important points, Yahuah (Lord) our Father does these things for us because of who He is and for His mercy and His namesake, NOT because of who we are. Even when we think we are doing good, we are human with human struggles. We have done wrong, and will do wrong again because we are human. But if we will humble ourselves like David and praise Yahuah and turn to Him in prayer, He will continue to heal and deliver us.
We are His children and He loves us.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. Today we pray to You and praise Your name Yahuah (Lord). We lift up our hands to You and cry out for Your mercy. We lift up our hearts to You and cry out for deliverance. Give us Your overwhelming abundance. Cause men to give overwhelmingly to us that we do not have room to store it all. Make all these things happen. You have said in Your scriptures that You will cause us to lend and not borrow. We call upon You today to bring that to pass quickly Yahuah (Lord) for we are poor and needy by comparison. Heal our broken hearts, and cast down those that would harm us in this state. Deliver us from those that would take from us what You have given to us. Shake the earth, shake them off Your people that we might be free. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
