Knives Between Our Teeth

When in the fray of battle, as a warrior is trying to be ready to work. it is not uncommon for the hunting knife to be held between the teeth for safe keeping, yet readily available for the battle should we need it to stand our ground. When a member of an old sailing crew would climb the netting, they did the same. In this way the sailor was at the ready to cut the lines and ropes as needed. These are scenes from movies, actually, and I am uncertain if they ever actually happened. But we do see that this readiness for what comes our way is how we are to live our lives, even to the point of being able to tell others.

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

Let us be prepared at all times.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Bless the name Yahuah! Let us be Your light. You alone are our King! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts and minds. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and more than that as well. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
