Yom Sheni, Iyar 23, 6004 – April 29, 2019
Encouragement
Watching so many different people talk about their fears, it is interesting to see how important others can be in our lives. We need encouragement. The question becomes where do we look for it to get it. Scriptures are a great source. We are all a great source of encouragement to each other. But a very powerful source for us, maybe the most important, is ourselves. Paul quoted Moses in this regard.
Romans 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Moses was not describing a process solely for keeping the Law, as Paul proves with His statement. Both were describing the method by which we accomplish life, make changes, and have the power to bring about those things for which we search. Encouragement is no different.
Today, and hopefully everyday, let’s use this to encourage ourselves and others.
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 overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Restore unto Your people all the goods and goodness that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,483,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of YAH here in this earth. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
