Yom Shishi, Ninth Month 4, 6006 – November 19, 2021

Tired And Content

This morning I found myself asking myself what I was feeling. Tired, yes, but what was the rest roof it? The rest of it was more challenging. It is unclear, at times, just what emotions I do feel. It seems obvious that a person should be happy after the age of retirement. But I question the concept of “happy” because it can be so fleeting. Maybe “happy” and other emotions are meant to guide us somehow. A much better word for me is “content” because so far, no matter my situation, I can choose it. I can choose to “let go” of certain emotions. This seems like an unusual scenario to me, this idea of releasing something. What if these ideas are actually literal? Can we hold on to certain things, perhaps even pursue them and “capture” them with our emotions, and then let go of other things? Perhaps Paul was thinking of these ideas himself.

Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Perhaps Paul had learned how to hold on and how to let go.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Price the name YAHUAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and I forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. I love You. I love You. I love You. Thank You YAH that You have released the whirlwind spirits to bring unto me the many blessings YAH. I love You. Please teach me to sing and to make melodies to You. I declare the salvation from these things complete. Keep me from temptations YAH and deliver me from the evil here. Destroy their works O my King. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah. HaMashiach. Amen.
