Yom Shabbat, Tevet 21, 6003 – December 29, 2018

Deliberate Rest

Humans can be peculiar animals at times. We may grumble and complain about this or that, but inside we are really pleased that we got to be involved, or not involved, depending on the circumstances. It is as if we do not want to take responsibility for the events that occur in our life. To a degree, we are responsible for the events in our life.

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

So we see that with deliberate action comes certain events in life – we call them blessings. It would seem obvious then that knowing the actions to take, the keys if you will, would be a good thing to know. Here is another one.

Leviticus 23:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.

So today, on the Sabbath, if we are deliberate about resting, we can do that – rest. In so doing, we use one of the keys to unlock blessing in our lives.

Prayer
Father Yahuah, we exalt You! You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people, fulfilling Your will just as it is fulfilled in heaven. Send us Your provision now. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. Deliver us from the evil here, around us and in us. Restore Your people to You, Father. REstore all that the worm has eaten. Restore one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,523,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. You alone are King! Praise and thank the name YAHUAH! Let these things be so. Let these things be so. We ask all these things of You, Father King Yahuah, in the mighty name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen and Amen.
