Yom Shishi, Av 13, 6003 – July 27, 2018
Making The Best Of It
There are so many different attitudes in life. We can approach life like it is overwhelming and we have no chance at coming out on top. We can approach it like adversity does not exist, ignoring it, and calling that faith. Or another way is to see and deal with what is around us, and at the same time press forward fully expecting the surprise end result where we have what our Father has revealed to us that He would give to us. The latter is that better place to strive to reach, I would suggest. I am not speaking like someone that has made it, but rather like someone that is striving to understand, and to walk it out. If we know that we must believe in God and that He is on our side to be able to eagerly expect the outcome, than a focu on Him seems essential.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
We can make this a possibility by taking the time to meditate on His Law.
Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
That means to mumble it to ourselves while imagining it! And check out what happens when we do.
Psalms 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
So, we do need to live here and make the best of our situation. But we are not called to speak what is or has been, but what is to be. We speak the Law into existence.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in this earth in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your perfect will be done here just as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Let it 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. We need You and Your deliverance from the evil here. Restore Your people unto You, Father. Restore unto Your people all that has been eaten. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people of that which is good, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom og God – Your kingdom Father – in the hearts and minds of mankind here. We think of Your Law and Your promises. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiak (Lord Jesus Christ), asking them of You Father. You alone can do these things. Amen.
