Help Is On The Way

When we walk through our lives with our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) as our true leader, we experience many different situations in life. When times are good it is easy to get caught up in all the events themselves. All those good things can become our focus. The same can be said for when things are not going so well for us. We can feel like things are “bad” and focus on those things. But regardless of how these things all move forward in time, there is still one truth. In good times and bad, we still need Yeshua. We still need His love in our lives. We still need the knowing that He is our Provider. We still need to remember that He provided for us the way of escape.

1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Here Paul, in his first letter to the Corinthians, makes many interesting comments. He makes many references to the children of Israel passing through the desert. He tells how they got caught up in many things, including idolatry. They did this even though they had all experienced so many miracles in the pillar of fire and of smoke, passing through the Sea, and countless other wonders. Yet, when faced with the tough choices of thirst and hunger, they quickly turned to not trusting that Yahuah (Lord) was on their side. Granted, these are tough and seemingly life threatening. But they are only life threatening if Yahuah (Lord) does not come through. Again, I am not trying to make light of these here. I know I face challenges to waiver just like everyone. And I do not believe that we ever really know how we will respond in those tough moments. But in every waking moment we can choose to reach out to God, calling to Him for help in our human frailty, trusting that somehow He can and will deliver us from these trials and from our own weakness and temptation to give place to fear. He is Yahuah shavuot (Lord of hosts, Lord of everything). He will not fail us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You truly are King over all, and You created it all. We bless Your name Yahuah! You alone are our only hope. Help us. We need life from You. We need deliverance from the enemy that only You can provide. Send us today Your provision. Show us where the manna in the desert is. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us. You are our only hope. Heal the saddened and down trodden. Lift up our heads. We ask these things in the name of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). Amen.
