Yom Rishon, Elul 9, 6004 – August 11, 2019
Nothing More
God will only give you what you can handle. Most of us have heard that statement in our past. In searching where this statement originates, the first scripture that came to mind was more about a way out.
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.
This scripture references how we can endure or escape temptation to make the wrong choices. There is a way not to fall to these temptations, and YAH makes that way. In truth, the road to the goal, the victory that we seek, can be longer than we think, taking a path that we would not prefer. We might prefer a path that to us is shorter and more direct. This was what happened to the children of Israel in the wilderness.
1 Corinthians 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
Numbers 21:4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
Even when we get it wrong, God will still forgive us and heal us if we will repent and turn to Him.
The thing is, we have a wonderful Father. He loves us. He wants good things for us. He cares for us and will do us no harm. In everything that comes our way, if we will remain thankful and praise Him, He will deliver us and set us on high ground.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Lead us. Lead us. Lead us away from temptations, and deliver us from the evil that is here. Restore Your kingdom in the hearts, minds, and bodies of Your people. Restore the wealth, bring in the fund and the goods. Restore one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
