Yom Sheni, Nisan 22, 6003 – April 9, 2018
Where Encouragement Comes
Where do we look to find our encouragement? For some it may be in certain comforts of knowing that we have savings in the bank or retirement accounts. For some it may be our credit scores or our homes. Encouragement is generally defined as something that gives hope, determination, or confidence in doing something. Perhaps what should give us encouragement is something given to us by our Father – some answer to a prayer, the scriptures, or a caring and loving brother or sister in the Messiah. Here is a scripture that describes a time when Yahuah (Lord) spoke to someone faced with a significant challenge. That someone was Joshua just after Moses died before they entered the promised land.
Joshua 1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
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.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Today, let’s be strong and of good courage, knowing that our Father has given us work to do and He will make it possible to succeed.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven, and let Your kingdom come here. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that trespass or transgress against us. Help us to be mended, and to forgive and forget. Help us to focus on only You and Your love. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people sevenfold all that has been eaten or taken or held back in any way of that which is good. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might care for Your people. We need You today, my King. Show Yourself strong on our behalf today. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name Yahuah (Lord). We ask all these things in the name of YAH Yeshuah. Amen.
