Hand To Hand

As believers, we are given a charge. That charge is to love God with our everything, and love our neighbors as ourselves.

Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

As I thought about this image in my mind, I could see a group of people standing hand to hand, in a long line moving forward. When someone stopped, they all stopped to wait or help. It seems to me that our Father longs for us to be like this, honoring Him first, then helping each other. If we can learn to live like this, we can be free, changing our world.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Use us Father to advance Your kingdom here on the earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal our insides. Deliver us from the thief that kills and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. You, O King, strike down the enemy when You arise from Your throne to execute justice on behalf of the poor and the needy. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
