Yom Shabbat, Third Month 24, 6006 – June 12, 2021
Resting And Thinking
Some days on the Sabbath I do well with resting. Other times I can find myself thinking too much about what it is I intend to be doing with my life, with this or with that – and I just lose my sense of rest. It is in these times that I find myself too absorbed in “the realities” of the life around me. I need to find other ways to escape those thoughts. I need to take control to be at rest. And this is my point. Rest does not, in my view, mean no effort. Rest in fact means a decided effort to wrestle to the ground the part of me that is distracted. This can be easy or it can seem difficult. In either case, it is important for me to do it, to just take hold and surrender to YAH.
Psalms 24:1 The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof;
The world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD?
Or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;
Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him,
That seek thy face, O Jacob.
Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates;
And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; And the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors;
And the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.
Selah.

Deliver me from the evil here ands from the evil plans that men have for me. Keep me in Your ways O King. I love You. Keep me from temptations. I love You. I love You. I ask all these things of You Father King sin the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
