The Gifted Walk

Last night at church we were discussing the Sabbath and what it is about for us as believers. Today as I was meditating on God I was thinking about all the good He does for us. He has a plan for every human on the earth that has ever been and will ever be. Our job is to believe Him and His promises, and to use the gifts He gives us.

Ephesians 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

The Sabbath is a good time to reflect on God. Every week God gives us time to remember who is the Creator and that He is with us and not against us. This can be challenging for us at times because life does not always go as we would like. Truly there are some unanswered questions for many of us. But in the end, God will prevail, our questions will be answered, and we will have overcome our enemies.

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You as the Most High. We thank You for all that You are. We know that may sound odd, but You are our everything. You gave us life, and then life again. Please forgive our transgressions. Please send today Your healing, deliverance, and abundant provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
