Yom Chamishi, Cheshvan 4, 6004 – October 3, 2019
What I Do Have
Many people spend a good deal of time thinking about and considering what they do not have, or what they did not get. I am no exception. When we spend time in the past in particular, it can be a complete waste. The only reason to consider the past is to try to learn from it. Spending time in wishing for a future that we do not have access to can be equally wasteful, unless we are committed to praying for and expecting it to arrive. Even then, unless we have communicated with YAH about that specific thing, we can end up wasting time on something that is not headed our way. But what we can spend time on is now. We can enjoy and be thankful for what we have now. We can rejoice in the present for all that YAH has done, is doing and will do for us.
Zephaniah 3:14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Today, join me, and let us pray for one another that we might rejoice and be thankful toward YAH for all that He is doing in our lives.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Thank You YAH for all You are and do. You alone are worthy of our praises. Let Your name be praised. Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. We love You. Let Your will be done here perfectly, just as the heavens declare Your works. Send us now Your provision, letting it overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Take us from temptations. Let Your kingdom reign forever within us, to Your glory. Send in quickly the strong finances. Restore the substance to Your people. Restore the prosperity to Your people. Rise up, O King. Rise up O King, and raise Your people from the dust. Let their wealth be greatly spoken of in the gates. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.
