Days Filled With Love
Interestingly as I wrote this morning I hesitated to use this title, thinking it to be too predictable or corny. But as I tried to think of other words, it became obvious to me that love was the correct word. It is the point. I was going to entitle it with power, or warfare, or something more “spiritual” and yet, all of those brought thoughts of negative situations. And the one thing that I could think of that would overcome them all was simply, love.
Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
We can see that Paul clearly understood that our Father is the one that watches over us. It is He that makes our path work, and not us.
Proverbs 25:21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
Today, let us walk with our head up, knowing that it is our Father that will reward us, and not a man.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done in the earth as it is in heaven. Today, Father, send us Your overflowing provision such that we cannot contain it. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away and wash clean all thoughts or memories of the evil done to us or by us, and replace them with thoughts and memories of only You. Deliver us from the evil here, and heal us both inside and out. Show us a sign for good. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides, weather finances, goods, relationships, land, or health. Restore all, Father. Arise now, O King! Reward Your people while it is called today. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things in Your name, Father, the name of YAH! Amen.
