Yom R’vi’i, Sivan 21, 6003 – June 6, 2018
Winning Endurance
A friend of mine has signed up to do an Ironman this year. He is not what most of us would call a physically fit person. But he felt that God wanted him to do it, so He did. When speaking to him, it is his desire to just finish. He does not have aspirations of winning the race. To him, winning is enduring to the end in within the required 17 hours. That is his goal. Finishing.
As believers, that can be our goal as well. Yes, we may suffer distractions and misdirection along the way. But in the end, we want to correct our course and go in the direction of our Father. We have that opportunity because we are called to press on, to finish.
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Finish.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here just as it is perfectly in heaven. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way of that which is good, and the more besides. Replace more than we can imagine of what has been eaten. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God here in the hearts and minds of mankind. We love You Father. We need You now. Rise up my King, and show Yourself strong. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.
