Like Lives Depend On It

Last night I attended a business function that had an unusual story tied to it. The guest speaker was to have his wife with him. Unfortunately she could not make it because her Mother’s sister had passed away suddenly. She had entered the hospital for what was to be a simple one hour procedure, and never left the operating room. She was young, and there were no anomolies, yet she was dead. It made me think of just how short life really is for all of us. As I thought on that this morning, a scripture came to mind.

Psalms 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Today, let us pray for our loved ones, ourselves, those we know, and even those we may not care for as if our lives depended on it. They just might. Yahuah is faithful to respond.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. We praise the name Yahuah. Your kingdom calls to us. Send today Your overwhelming abundant supply for all we need and beyond that we might help others, too. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us. Be with those that have lost members of their families and comfort them. Crush the works of those that would steal from us what You have provided. In Messiah Yeshuah’s (Jesus’) name we pray these things. Amen.
