Knowing The Way
We can know the way to go, and sometimes still not go that way. Frequently, this is because of fear. When we fear something enough, it can modify how we behave. And that fear does not always have to be a great fear. Even small fears can hold us back. Why is this. Because we tie into them emotionally. Emotions move people, and they prevent people from moving.
Mark 5:35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
Our hearts need to be softened to hear what our Messiah is saying to us. When people are moved by their emotions and what they see, they can scoff at what He tells us. In the case here, Messiah took few into the room. Even He prayed in the Spirit (spoke in tongues) to make it so only what the Father wanted would be said, and only their spirits hear it until it was translated.
We can know the way. Today on the Sabbath let’s pray for the courage to go that way.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We love You. We need Your kingdom here. Praise the name Yahauh! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us for our sins. Heal our hearts, for they are heavy. Deliver us from the evil that has and is stealing from and destroying Your people. We love You. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
