Still Have To Care For The Chickens
Today, continuing from yesterday, I was quite ill. The flu, I believe. I tried to get up and do a few things, but the more I did the worse it got. Finally I laid down to rest. In the afternoon, I remembered I had not been out to see the chickens since yesterday morning. Regardless of how I felt, they still needed me. Even if I was sick and it was the Sabbath. As I went out in the rain to care for them, I was reminded of a scripture when the Messiah healed on the Sabbath. The leaders of the day wrongfully accused Him of breaking the Sabbath, just as the leaders of today wrongfully tell us we do not have to keep the Sabbath.
Matthew 12:10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
The Master has spoken. I choose His words. The chickens are taken care of, I rest, and all is well.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We praise and bless the name Yahuah (Lord). Send today Your overwhelming blessing that overflows our ability to hold it. Release Your ministering spirits to battle for the release of it. Forgive us our sins. Heal us today. Deliver us today. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
