Father’s Love

It is difficult to describe a father’s love. It is somehow the thing that binds a father to his children in a way that never ends. I never understood it until I came to understand who the Father – our Father – was and is. That happened when I realized that the Old and New Testaments were really just the same book. It has been enhanced as I have come to learn that the mission of Jesus (Yeshuah) was to live out the Law perfectly because His heart was perfect. It was to reveal that the Law is written in our hearts; all our hearts. Yeshuah calls to us to have that heart of compassion that our Father has, to be like Him.

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Today, we can rest in the comfort of knowing that our Father loves us, and is always with us.

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. Lead us away from temptation. It is Your kingdom we seek and publish. It is Your power we long to publish. And it is Your glory that we long to proclaim to the world. We need You now. We need You today. Restore the provisions that have been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

The Message Is Sweet

So we are blessed and comforted to have a simple message in scripture, that our Father always answers speedily.

Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Yeshuah goes on to say that even an unjust judge will answer if he is bugged enough. How much more will our Father answer when we ask Him who is just?

Luke 18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

So we see that we are to pray always, knowing that our Father has answered speedily. Yeshuah said this again later.

Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

We can be comforted to know that our Father hears us, answers speedily, and will bring to pass what we have asked for in prayer.

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. Lead us in a way away from temptations. It is Yours, Your kingdom, and Your power and Your glory. Show us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone have done this. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Nothing More

God will only give you what you can handle. Most of us have heard that statement in our past. In searching where this statement originates, the first scripture that came to mind was more about a way out.

1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

This scripture references how we can endure or escape temptation to make the wrong choices. There is a way not to fall to these temptations, and YAH makes that way. In truth, the road to the goal, the victory that we seek, can be longer than we think, taking a path that we would not prefer. We might prefer a path that to us is shorter and more direct. This was what happened to the children of Israel in the wilderness.

1 Corinthians 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

Numbers 21:4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

Even when we get it wrong, God will still forgive us and heal us if we will repent and turn to Him.

The thing is, we have a wonderful Father. He loves us. He wants good things for us. He cares for us and will do us no harm. In everything that comes our way, if we will remain thankful and praise Him, He will deliver us and set us on high ground.

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. Lead us. Lead us. Lead us away from temptations, and deliver us from the evil that is here. Restore Your kingdom in the hearts, minds, and bodies of Your people. Restore the wealth, bring in the fund and the goods. Restore one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

In The Garden

Reading this title one might take comfort in thinking of the Garden of Eden. It is true that such thinking causes me to feel comforted as well. Simpler times for sure. But even in the garden there was a worm – a serpent to be exact. Actually, I was thinking of my garden. In my garden, God does so many incredible things. It has been growing in an amazing way. And the garden right next to it God is doing on His own.

Genesis 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

We need our Father and His love to live “in the garden” of our lives.

Prayer

Amen.

It Was Settled

It is a great comfort to know that we have a path to walk that allows us to actually reach the end. IT is because our Father already planned it out. We have already won because of the price paid by Yeshuah (Jesus) for each of us. The end was set from the beginning.

Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

He knew. He planned it. He has already set in motion everything to bring it to pass.

We ask all these things of You father inn the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Newness Renewed

It is good to have the opportunity to “start over” when we have to get past some struggle from life. Each week, on the first day of the week (Yom Rishon), wee have that opportunity. It is a part of that cycle created by YAH when He rested on the seventh day.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

At this point there was as of yet no sun, moon, and stars. Yet the evening-morning cycle had begun. It was because YAH said it was so. We can take comfort in the fact that when YAH establishes a cycle or a thing, it will be that way without fail.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our 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. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name Yah Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Always New Stuff…

People have asked me, how do you always have something to write everyday? For me, the answer is simple. There is so much that I do not know about YAH and His ways, and I am eager to learn. It becomes easy at that point, because I find something for that moment, that day, that is important to me. Since I like to focus on His blessings, it becomes even easier.

Lamentations 3:21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

Today, think of a blessing!

First Day Of…

Today is the first day of the week. It can also be a new beginning for something that we have been wanting to have or do. What can we do about it?

Ephesians 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

We can always make an excuse to not do something. Today instead, let’s just do it!

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.

We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.

Starting New

Death of any kind is always a strong signal to those that receive it. Even the death of a family pet is significant. to those that lose the pet. Such is the case at our house. We lost our dog just before Sabbath began. It has been sad, but we are doing our best to move forward. It does make me think about the process of starting over – starting new. So today we went to the zoo and the fair. It has been good.

Psalms 57:1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

We can use challenging times to assist us in deliverance from troubles by turning readily to our Father.

Comfort Of Friends

It is amazing to spend time in the company of those that are seeking the Father’s heart for wisdom and truth. If we are willing to press in, we can find out what He has to offer. Sharing a spiritual meal with the brethren is a wonderful thing! It brings us together.

Psalms 133 A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
