Another Day

There is a friend of mine I was speaking with last night that has an interesting story. His property was almost stolen. That property is his house. It was almost stolen by the banks in the Land Grab of ’08, as he tells it. His story was indeed fascinating. He even has the court documentation and many letters to the bank to prove it. But it was not the story of how white collar criminals have gone free that was the most striking to me. It was his sheer thankfulness at every day that the Father allows him to stay in the property, against all odds. Pretty much all those around him abandoned him, sadly even those naming the name of our Messiah. But he just smiles and thanks God for the deliverance so far. He told me that every day is another day, every day holds promise, and every day hold the opportunity to be set free from the tyranny. Just listening to him tell of his hope and his trust in Messiah encourages me. God is on our side.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Today, let us rejoice in another day.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are the only King for us. We long for Your kingdom. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us up from the inside. Deliver us from the thief that has stolen and continues to steal. Destroy the destroyer, take back from the thief what You have given to Your people. Restore one hundred times one hundred fold, and even hundreds of hundreds to Your people now. We ask all of these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
