Yom Rishon, Fifth Month 14, 6006 – August 1, 2021
Knowing Is A Comfort
Often when I wake up or have some undedicated time, I find my mind filled with a stream of thoughts. To take control of those thoughts requires me to be diligent to take verbal control of them. There seems to be a direct connection between what we say and what happens around us. The scriptures also often refer to singing as a means of transformation. Paul speaks of this.
Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
And it seems to be a reflection of what YAH has said.
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.
In both speaking and singing there is deliverance. It is important for me to note that often we sing words to songs that are catchy tunes that “stick” to us and have a “closeness” to us. It is unclear to me why this is so, but it seems to be true.
Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are my 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 me now Your provision. Let it overflow to those I do and do not know YAH. I love You. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
