Yom Shlishi, Av 5, 6004 – July 9, 2019
When No One Is Around
We have been given a charge. That assignment is to do and say things that build each other up.1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
We see that there is a certain determined path for us to take with regard to how we are to move forward as a group. THere are even soecifics as to how to do this.
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
The good news is, we can do this when we are alone! Yes, we want to take the time to encourage people when we are with them. But we also want to encourage them when we are by ourselves. For many of us, we have more time with no one around than with people around.
Today, let’s pray for ourselves and others when no one is around, singing in our hearts with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs focused on helping each person become better at serving YAH and that their circumstances improve.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Raise up, raise up. Raise up, the widow and the orphan. Make a way for the poor and downtrodden, a way where there is no way. Send us quickly the restoration of property and finances that we might proclaim that You alone have done these things. Show us a sign for good. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
