Keeping The Faith
We face life everyday. Whether we are among those that choose to follow our Father or we are among those that choose not to follow Him, we all will still have life to deal with daily. How we view that beginning of the day plays a significant role in how life turns out, I suggest. Certainly we want to be among those that choose to follow Him. Life without God is far too cold and dark. If we turn to Him, He turns to us, and we can have hope.
Zechariah 1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.
We can look at life differently with Yahuah (Lord) our Father on our side. WE win. These days when I wake up I am excited. I watched numerous people graduate from a course they were taking. They were happy with their accomplishments. I was happy that I was able to play a small role in that. And I was happy because I was able to wake up and set adversity aside. If we can focus on the understanding that our Father has already determined that we are the winners in life, then we truly can stand and watch and see the miracles as they happen.
Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Today, let us commit ourselves to keeping the faith, and watch what our Father can do.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are the most high King. We love You and Your ways. Praise the name Yahuah! Let there be a reign on this earth of Your kingdom just like in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming abundant provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the thief that has stolen and is stealing from us. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken in all these areas as the scriptures show us here. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
