Daring To Believe
There was a song out when I was younger, called “Signs.” There was a saying also that referred to “a sign of the times” which meant something we saw was a reflection of something more going on in the world around us, like an indicator of society. As believers we have another source of signs with purpose. Our Father Yahuah (Lord).
Our Father placed signs around us for a reason. One of these was as a sign of the seasons and the important days.
Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Not only are these great lights (sun, moon, and stars) meant to be the indicators of the important times in the earth, they will never go away. That is yet another sign.
Jeremiah 33:19 And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
Here is what we know. There have been signs from the beginning. There were signs of the pillar of smoke and the pillar of fire in the wilderness. All the miracles done in Egypt were signs. When we truly allow ourselves to meditate on what those must have been like, and on the creation of the sun, moon, and stars, we have real images and examples of what Yahuah has done for us. We have a promise that He will not fail us. Our enemy wants us to forget these things in times of trials. He wants us to fear him and his doings more than we believe in God. But if we can just hold on to believing, trusting that no matter what we see around us Yahuah (Lord) is always there, we can overcome the trials and emerge victorious on the other side.
Daring to believe makes us winners!
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. You alone are worthy to be praised. We praise the name of Yahuah! Father, we need Your kingdom here. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Help us to stay on Your paths. Heal up the hearts of many, for they have been broken. Deliver us from the evil that would steal from us what You alone have provided. Yahuah, there are many things in place today to steal the wealth and lands of Your people. Our only hope is in You. Send us today the victory of the thief. Do not let him and his minions steal from us. Help us today Yahuah (Lord). We ask all these things in Yeshua’s name. Amen.
