Help Comes

Sitting here today writing this, I think about the times and stories that I have heard about how our Father comes to the rescue of people. It is true, and has been true throughout the ages. He takes care of us. We are His people, and He never forgets to take care of His people. There are at least two sides to that experience. There is God’s side, where He sees the end from the beginning. And then there is our side, where we see the sequence of events. It causes me to think about Moses and the experiences of the Exodus.

Moses grows up, kills an Egyptian, and flees. In a distant land he marries, becomes a shepherd, and is content. Then our Father, Yahuah (Lord), calls him from a burning bush. He shows Moses signs, and tells him to go tell Pharaoh to let the people go to worship in the wilderness. He gives Moses the ability to demonstrate these same signs to the elders of Israel. Then they go through some amazing times, leading up to the Red Sea. At what point does Moses know God’s ways?

Psalms 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

This becomes an important question for us as believers. When we face challenges, or even perhaps what seems like overwhelming odds, we need to know Yahuah’s (Lord) ways. It helped Moses make it through the time from leaving to go to Egypt through the Exodus and the forty years of wandering. It is through faith in our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus) that we can know that God hears us and is on our side. He knows what we need before we even say it.

Matthew 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

This leads to so many thoughts about our walk with the Father. Certainly He watches over us. Certainly He cares for us. Certainly He is on our side. We need to be like Moses, able to believe that we hear Yahuah (Lord) when He speaks to us, and then act upon those things He says to us. Certainly, we can rely on Him.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. It is Your Kingdom we seek. Bless the name Yahuah! We ask that today, this very day, You send to us provision. Make it abundant provision, a sign to those that do not believe You are true. Forgive us for our sins. Heal up our insides that we might believe and cling to You at all times. Deliver us from the destroying thief that has taken over so much authority for the sustenance of this land. Your people have been robbed. Many do not even know the theft is occurring. Help us. Come with a strong hand today and an outstretched arm. Smite the thief and grind that work to powder today. Come quickly, my King, come quickly. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
