Comfort In Small Victories

Today was a good day. My wife and I rose very early to go borrow a pick-up truck and trailer from someone in our fellowship to drive two hours to help someone else in the fellowship move. It was a great time as one of the pastors and I got to spend some windshield time together to get to know each other more and share thoughts about scripture. The single mom that we moved was happy to have the help of so many in the group. And for me, it was a chance to stay focused on what God was doing for a full day, without getting caught up in my own “busy-ness” on a day other than the Sabbath. Truly, God was with us today.

Psalms 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

There was something about all that transpired today. It was a true blessing to have the time to spend with people that show love toward one another. We were able to share a meal after the move. Just pizza, salad, and matzo ball soup, but it seemed like a banquet when we could all work together hand in hand.

God is good!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You as the Most High. You alone are worthy to be praised and honored. Let Your kingdom be received on the earth as it is in heaven. Send us Your overwhelming provision today. Forgive us when we sin and transgress Your commandments. Heal us and deliver us. And bless our fellow believers beyond measure. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
