Yom Sheni, Av 16, 6003 – July 30, 2018
It’s The Future
Growing up my father often said to me, “If I could be as young as you are and know what I know now…” Back then I never really understood this point. Today, I understand it much better. The older we get, the more inputs our brain has processed. The more we are attuned to all that is in this world, or at least our portion of it. That may help us through the day, as we know what is coming or what to expect. But then, that can also be the problem. We expect what we are accustomed to so far. We are anticipating the future from the past experiences. And without some intervention, likely we will create a future that is just like the past. Many of us might want to create a better future. If we return to the original statement, one choice we can choose is to think about what we want to see happen, and expect that to happen.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
And we can renew our mind by saying what our Father said already in scriptures.
Joshua 1:8 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.
We cannot look at our past and be constrained by our failures to follow our Father the perfect way we would want to follow Him. We must be willing to pray to see our Father’s will for us, to understand what He wants for us. Then we can let our faith control what we expect, and not our history.
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 perfectly as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Deliver us from the evil here. 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 for us. Restore Your people Father. Restore unto Your people all that the worm has eaten. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken of held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God – Your kingdom, Father – here in this earth. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah Hamashiak. Amen.
