Always In The Arms Of God
Yesterday I spoke with one of the leaders of our fellowship about how we as believers can lose track of the reality of our God. The business of life can overwhelm us and take away our attention. But that only happens when we let it happen. And, we can also fight within ourselves to get back to that place where we pay attention to what is important – serving the living God. As I write this I think of some of the many challenges before us as a family. And then I think of Yahuah (Lord) and the prayer time I had with Him this morning. He was there in a very real way as I prayed for transformation to be more of the man He wants me to be. I read a scripture this morning that fits with this whole approach to Yahuah (Lord) as our Father and our living King.
Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
We need to cry out to God in the morning, noon, and evening. We need to be always calling to Him.
Psalms 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
Paul said it even more intensely, that we should pray without stopping.
1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
As I am writing this I am seeing an even greater need to be in communication with our Father. In the day to day, moment to moment battles of life, It can be a challenge to so do. For me, it is easy to get caught into the “reality” around me at the moment. But there seems to be a clear picture from scripture that our Father will respond every time we call. We need to be always communicating, praising, praying, and seeking His face.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We need You and Your kingdom in our lives at all times. We need to know that You are hearing us. We praise the name Yahuah! Send us today Your abundant provision that overwhelms our store houses, overflowing to those around us. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and our minds that have been damaged over time. Deliver us with an outstretched arm and a strong hand from those that would steal from us what You have provided. Only You can do these things Father. We need You in our lives. We need Your help. We need to know that You will always be with us. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
