Yom Shishi, First Month 27, 6006 – April 16, 2021
Do Your Best
It is important for us as believers to do the best we can every day. That may sound a bit trite, but in fact it is really good for me to remember. I have this tendency, like all humans, to make mistakes as well as to do good. But it is easy to fall into the trap that we somehow are very unworthy because of our transgressions. Not true. Scriptures show us that this is not so.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
We can do great things while we struggle with our transgressions – sin – and there is only one requirement. Turn to YAH with a humble and contrite heart.
Zechariah 1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
It is clear that YAH only wants us to try our best, and to reach out to him as humble people.
James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
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. Heaven. Heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver me from those that seek to cause me harm. Confound their records and their paperwork. Cover me, YAH Yashuah. Show me the path to the prosperity You have showed me. Let me serve only You. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
