What Is The Mortar?

As I was thinking about the concept of edification today, as usual, a brick wall came to mind. But in thinking of that brick wall, I tried to meditate on the vision of it. What showed up for me was – the mortar. True, the bricks are solid, and they are long last, hard as many stones. But without the mortar, a stack of bricks is easily tumbled because they are just that – a stack of individual bricks. Such a stack is somewhat easily tumbled. But add mortar – well now – they become a single solid piece. I thought about this in relation to the walk we have as believers. What is the mortar there?

Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Therefore, let us look to our Father to hold us together, and cry out to Him when we feel there is a strain on the wall.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us be Your light! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us inwardly, that we might be healed outwardly. Deliver us from evil. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold, and hundreds of hundreds beyond, all that has been taken or held back, such that all men know that You alone have done this. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
