Zeal For Life

Recently I was considering how powerful the force is that tempts us to follow after darkness. There seems to be this strong influence that can pull at us. I tried to consider what makes it so strong. Why are we pulled in the direction of doing the wrong thing with a force that hols on to us in a way that we seem helpless to resist, while we struggle at times to believe that our Father God will keep His promises to us to give us life and meet our needs? I believe there are many answers. For me I know that if I do not stop to take time out specifically to spend alone with Yahuah (Lord) each day, then my reality changes. I lose track of the ever presence of God. I get caught up in the superficial make believe world we call reality.

David had this thought it seems as well. Unlike me, he faced enemies in this world that were trying to kill him, not just the spiritual world. He had this response.

Psalms 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

We will experience change in our life. It causes us to cry out to Yahuah (Lord). When we cry out morning, noon, and night, just as he did, we too can experience the mighty hand of deliverance from Yahuah (Lord) that David did.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are the majestic King of all. We praise the name Yahuah. Send us Your overwhelming provision today. Forgive us our sin. Deliver use from evil that wants to consume us and what You have given to us. We love You. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
