Marching On

We face today some of those same challenges faced by the nation of Israel many years ago. There was a time during when the people were ruled over in what some would call an oppressive manner. Actually, there were several times this was true, according to scripture.

Nehemiah 9:36 Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:
37 And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

Our challenge can be as simple as realizing we have made mistakes, asking for forgiveness, and doing all we can to move toward our Father’s way of life, His commandments and statutes for living.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Lord, let us be Your light in this dark place. Illuminate us that we might illuminate others. Send us Your overwhelming provision now such that it overflows to those around us. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts, and create clean ones in us. Deliver us from evil. Restore unto Your people one hundred times 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.
