Just Keep Looking
There are days that start out super busy. And then there are days that start out slower. But every day is one more chance to find another moment with God. By that I mean it seems odd to me that as humans we wake up with thoughts about this world and what we are doing in it. If we are truly here because our Father placed us here and we have a mission that He has given to us, then it seems that should be our frame of reference. We should be seeing the world from the perspective of our Father’s goals and plans and not our own. But then, how does one do that exactly? This is a very important question to at least ask, and hopefully answer. A part of the answer has to be in what has been written in scripture.
Psalms 63:1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
The other part comes when we are doing this part. When we rise up early to seek our Father, we interact with Him. In that interaction He provides us with direction. And we do that each day.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away our thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Heal us from the inside out. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all the good, the provision, the relationships that have been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name, YAH. Amen.
