From The Swirl
Today when I woke up I saw some more headlines from what we Americans are calling the presidential race. Since I do not watch much television, when I do see something I see it from a heightened awareness perspective. It is almost like seeing something for the first time. In that light, the sights on TV seem anything but presidential. Rather, they almost make me feel as if our country is being flushed and we are observing it from above or spinning in the water looking up – from the swirl. It is in these times that scriptures ring true.
Nehemiah 9:32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
33 Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:
34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.
35 For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
36 Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:
37 And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
Let us return to our Father that He would be merciful and return to us.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us be Your lights in this dark place. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts and minds. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
