Yom Chamishi, Tammuz 6, 6003 – June 21, 2018
Something To Be Thankful For
This morning when I sat down to write, I asked Yahuah (Lord) what to write. He told me to go out to my gardens that he had given me. They are flourishing, both the ones I planted and the ones I did not plant. They are doing so well that I will likely need to take some plants out and place them elsewhere. After I spent some time observing these plants, I came back in to write. The gardens brought into my remembrance all that I have to be thankful for to God. There is so much, so many blessings, they are hard to count.
Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Our Father watches over us and blesses us daily.
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.
It is important what we hear, say, and then do. This has always been the case. Paul quoted Moses to make this point.
Romans 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Joshua experienced this when the leader of the people, the one that delivered them from Egypt, died. He was left alone to lead the people. Here is what Yahuah (Lord) said to him.
Joshua 1:1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.unto this…: or, thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land, etc.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Today, we can be thankful that our Father has us each on a path to endure unto the end. We each are called to do our part. To discover what that is we need to spend time with Him. The good news is, He will reveal to each person what they are to be doing. We need to hear it, say it, and then do it.
We can be thankful today that we have been given life, and the ability to hear, say, and do what is necessary to achieve what has been laid before us.
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 as it is in heaven so perfectly. Send us now Your provision that it might overflow to those around us. Deliver us from the evil here. 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 and Your love toward us. Restore Your people, Father, for they have been torn. Restore unto Your people all that the locust has eaten, and the more besides. Restore one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people of that which is good.
