Remember Where You Are

This morning I read a news story about a public figure that was doing almost twice the speed limit on a highway. She claimed to have lost track of what she was doing on the way to where she was going. The story reminded me of how we can get caught up in life, responding to the next moment that comes along. The problem with such an approach is it is possible to make wrong decisions. If not corrected, they compound, or can, with the next wrong decision. It would seem our only hope is to somehow stay the course, or quickly return to the course when we need to do so. The one way I have found to do so in the last 24 hours is to say what the scriptures say about a matter.

Proverbs 6:20 My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

So, how do we bind something to our heart? This is not something done with cotton or nylon rope. Rather, it must be done through the words that we say, that lead to the thoughts that we think. These both lead to the actions we take. Just as the thoughts we think in the moment result in an action, so do the thoughts we think when we say the Law out loud.

Somehow, we are meant to say what our Father says. It must be possible.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom be here, and let Your will be done here. Send us Your abundant provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Heal up our hearts and minds. Remind us to speak Your words to resist the devil. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way that is good, and the more besides. Bring in quickly the $424,523,962.53. You are King. Only You are King. Rise up, my King, and show Yourself majestic that all men might know that You alone have done these things. 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.
