Yom Ri-shon, Shevat 2, 6001 – January 1, 2017

Loving Arms

As I thought this morning about how we are comforted as humans, often it includes the touch of being held by loving arms. You see it on the faces of children often when they run to a parent smiling with arms out stretched. Or a child that has stumbled and scraped a knee, crying as they are lifted to their parent’s shoulder. Someone that has had a tragedy hugging even a stranger to have a shoulder on which to cry. Or the person whose eyes light up when their better half enters the room, and they embrace. It is built into us, I suggest, by our Father. And he is always there to comfort us.

Dueteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

Today is not a new beginning because it is a new year. Today is a new beginning because it is a new day with our Father who holds us in His arms and cares for us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us experience Your will in this earth. Send us today Your overwhelmingly abundant provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts that they be not heavy. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more upon more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
