What Are The Odds?
We can get behind in our daily battles with the enemy. We that happens, it can seem like a great challenge to get back to the place we were, the get “caught up” to where it seems like everything is not so overwhelming. And we don’t really plan to get behind. We lose a little ground one day, then the next, and soon there are several days where we have not done all we feel we could or should to spend time with our Father. Sometimes it seems it cannot be helped – emergencies come up. Other times we let small things get in the way, thinking they are nothing. If we can remind ourselves, good times and bad, that this is really a battleground, then we will likely be more like David to cry out to the Father at all times.
Psalms 119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
166 Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.
David knew that the battle belonged to Yahuah (Lord). He knew that his only hope was in the Father. But that hope was enough.
Psalms 63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
David was certain of one thing. Whether he stumbled or not, if he would get back up by calling out to God, God would uphold him. That made the odds 100% to his favor that he would win, because Yahuah (Lord) was on his side.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. We love and appreciate You. You alone are worthy of our praise. We praise the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the one that steals from us. Restore to Your people one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
