Yom She-ni, Sivan 16, 6002 – June 12, 2017
Always There
No matter what we face in life, we can take heart, we can take comfort, in knowing that our Father is always there for us. This can present certain challenges for us as believers because it takes faith. Faith is defined for us in scripture.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
We see here that faith is the substance (known and accepted reality that we feel) of things hoped for (expected) so much that it is evidence to us that it exists. This is the meaning from verse one. Verse six tells us that we believe that God exists and that He is on our side taking action. If we have some challenge before us, then if we will spend time with the Father addressing this point until we have this kind of faith toward the issue, we will sense the comfort that God is with us in it.
Perhaps the bigger challenge is when things are good, remembering that it was the Father that made them so, and thanking Him for it. In both cases we can get so caught up in the moment that we forget that we are not alone. We can forget that He is always there for us to call upon.
Today let’s be comforted in knowing our Father is with us, no matter what we face, the good or the bad.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done here, Father, as it is with You in the heavens. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us for our transgressions and trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have transgressed or trespassed against us. Cleanse our hearts and minds, wiping away the bad thoughts and memories that plague us until it is as if they never happened. Fill the empty space left behind with thoughts of You and of Your love. Deliver us from the present evil. Restore substance unto Your people, all that has been taken, lost, or held back in any way. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
