Brave Enough To Believe
Each day when we wake we have a moment to engage our minds with our hearts to decide what we will believe today. Not some Sunday morning feel good speech, not some pep rally deliverance of how great life is, just that moment alone with our Father. We can capture that moment and begin with faith, believing that He loves us. Or we can choose to magnify the world around us and believe our circumstances more than we believe our Father loves us. When we say it like that, the choice seems obvious, right? But it is in those weaker moments that we make so many of the decisions that rule our lives. But we can win in those moments if we are prepared ahead of time to remember. How can we do this? It must be a part of us. In fact, we need to have a flow of good coming out of us. But where would it come from in these times of need? It begins with the new covenant.
Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
We see that the New Covenant is the Law, the Torah, written on our hearts and minds. Paul affirms this.
Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
So we know that the Torah in our hearts is the New Covenant. If we can believe, and then trust, the our Father Yahuah (Lord) will not leave us, we can act on that belief and call out to Him to show us truth.
Jeremiah 33:2 “Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is his name: 3Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
Today, we can add to our faith, building upon what has been know. We can build something better. We can build within us the belief and trust that our Father will never leave or forsake us. In those moments when we are not completely alert, our hearts and minds can drive us to speak the truth, calling upon Yahuah (Lord) our Father in the name of our Messiah Yeshua, knowing that He hears and provides.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We need Your love in our lives. We need Your kingdom. We praise Your name Yahuah (Lord). Send us today Your overwhelming provision in full manifestation that we might bless Your holy name. Forgive us for our sins. We need Your help and Your healing. We need deliverance from those that would take away Your people and Your name and what You have given us. Judge the earth today with righteousness. Set things right today. Straighten out what is crooked. Put completion in our lives today. We ask these things in the name of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). Amen.
