Day To Day
This Sabbath I thought about how we get confused about what is a day. God led me to a scripture that I found to be very interesting.
Psalms 96:1 O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
In verse two, in Hebrew, it says, “Sing unto Yahuah, bless His name; Show forth His Yeshuah from day to day.” The implication is we sing to Yahuah and bless His name, and this will show forth His salvation from day to day. This is how we can have an impact in the earth. This is how we declare His glory among the heathen, and His wonders will follow among all people.
Many believers long for the move of Yahuah again in the earth. I pray He sends great revival.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Bless Yahuah! Let us be a light to the earth in singing unto You where all can hear. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. heal our hearts and minds. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold, such that we cannot contain it. Let us overflow to those around us that all men might know that You alone have done this great thing. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Rest Of Us
We are trying as humans to follow our Father, right? That means we are going where He is going. Isn’t that great!? So where is He going? Well today, He is resting.
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Let’s follow our Father and rest today.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us rest with You as lights. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Welcomed Rest
We are not called to work in life non-stop. We are called to take a break from the work we have been given by our Father once a week to rest. That rest is meant to nourish us. In part that nourishment comes from meditating on the scriptures. The scriptures tell the story that is God’s story. He is good, and His mercy endures forever, always there to give us a weekly time of rest.
Psalms 136:1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.
3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.
6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.
7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:
8 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:
9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.
10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:
11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:
12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Let us keep the Sabbath rest in its appointed time.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us tell of Your mercy, and bring Your kingdom to this earth. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us from the inside. Restore unto Your people the joy of our salvation. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has be taken or held back, both in material goods and in blessings. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

When We Need To Rest
The Sabbath is made for rest; a time for the people of God to refrain from working and enjoy the Father. Today has been interesting so far. There are many avenues to travel down as we consider what to be about. For me and my family, today we are going to try to be more about the Torah. Life can overwhelm us if we let it. Let’s not let it.
Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
5And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Be blessed!
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming provision and let us bring in Your kingdom here. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us from the thief. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Stormy Rest Is Possible
This is being written in response to a most interesting day on the Sabbath. We were heading out on a journey, i little late. As a result of being late we were able to get off the road and away from two tornadoes that went through on the highway we would have been on had we been on time. This is yet another example of how our Father watches over us. He keeps from the storms in life. We were able to then rest on the Sabbath, although late, with friends.
Psalms 121 A Song of degrees.
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! We praise and thank You. Bless the name Yahuah! Help us to be Your people in the earth, bringing about Your kingdom. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Learning Is Good
The Sabbath is a great day to learn about our Father and the world He has created. Learning these things is good for us. It is His words and His ways that we need to experience. When we study them, we can make them a part of our life because we know them. Life can be a challenge without His guidance. As I thought about this, I thought about how we need to study to get to know Him.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
This is the story that has been told forever. Our Father wants us to be with Him. The Sabbath is a good day to study.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Help us to be those that usher in Your kingdom here in the earth. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us inside, and deliver us from the one that steals and destroys. restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Where The Angels Are
There are a number of my friends that are big into angels. Not that they worship them, but they see the stories in the scriptures and realize that angels of God are a good thing to have around you. So if we want the angels around us, one solution is to be where the angels are. And where do we think the angels would be? Most likely, they would be where the Father is, right?
Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
Without diving in further to what angels are, we can see that our Messiah thought them to be important. Our Father created the universe, according to a pattern that He uses to reveal Himself. That pattern contains all the wisdom that there is or will be. Where that wisdom is the angels will be, it would seem. And where is that wisdom contained?
Deuteronomy 4:1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.
2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal–peor: for all the men that followed Baal–peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.
4 But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Our wisdom, the cammandments and the statutes of the Father, is most likely where we find angels.
Today we keep the Sabbath according to the commandments. Today, we are with angels when we do.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King! Praise the name Yahuah! You are worthy of all praise. Let us do Your will, Your commands and statutes, in this earth that the earth might have the kingdom as it is in the heavens. Send us now Your overwhelming abundant provision, such that we cannot contain it. Forgive us our sins. Heal up the broken pieces in our hearts and minds, and wash them white as snow. Deliver us from the one that steals and destroys, with Your strong arm. restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Turning To The Truth
This morning as I was thinking of the Sabbath, my mind drifted to the idea of repentance. It amazes me that our Father is so able to forgive us at all times. We try to do good, but being human, we still fail. This has been true through the ages. And equally true, we can feel that we are unworthy of seeking forgiveness, so we don’t. But that thought is not from our Father.
James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
So we see that we can have forgiveness. But it is very difficult at times to turn to our Father from something that can grip us.
Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
Here we see Esau could not escape who he was; he could not turn from his evil ways. To overcome evil we have to continually say out loud what our Father has said, diving us the power to do His will.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Let Your kingdom come to earth through us. Bless the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins, great or small. Heal us from inside. Deliver us from the one that steals and destroys. Restore unto us one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back. Restore us from within. Restore us to a better place than we have ever been, just as You did in the days of the Exodus. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Hearing On The Sabbath
There were a number of things Yahuah was saying to us today. Among them was the need to reach out to the world on behalf of the kingdom of God. We are the ones to bring to earth the Father’s will through our actions and speech, or not.
Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Our Father’s kingdom comes as we do His will on the earth. Like keeping the Sabbath.
Praise God!
Prayer
Father, we exalt You! You alone are our King. Praise Your name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom come through us. Send us Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us for our sins. Heal us and deliver us. Take the thief from our door. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or stolen. Give unto Your people that which they have not sown, just as You did in the Exodus. We ask all of these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.

Rest On
No matter what else we do, it is important to pattern ourselves after, or attempt to emulate, our Father. If we can do that, then we can more easily experience the life He has always meant for us to have.
There is one thing we can do that seems easy, but somehow works out to be more challenging at times. It is resting like God rested on the Sabbath.
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Today, let’s rest with Him.
Prayer
Father we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us now Your provision. Heal us and deliver us. Restore Your people. Give to us that which we have not possessed. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
