Clicks And Mortar

In today’s Information Age, we are in a different time from days past. Often people read the scriptures from the glow of an electronic device, daytime or nighttime. Before their was the tactile nature of the paper page, the hard pew seat, and the shaking of a neighbors hand. Now sometimes people opt for watching it all on an electronic display. My point in writing this is for us to remember it is about building ourselves and others up. We formerly did this in buildings, and sometimes in homes. We can still do this using electronic devices in homes, and in buildings, but there are key components that are required. Most important perhaps is the very words that come out of our mouth.

Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

We see that our Messiah wants us to speak good things. This same message is repeated over and over again in scripture. We need to say the good things of the scriptures as often as we can, out loud, both in speech and song. Where we read them from, paper or electronic bits, is not the point. The point is what comes out of our mouths is what we hear.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us reflect You and Your works here on this earth. Send us today Your overwhelming abundant provision such that we cannot contain it. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil that causes us to err. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken, held back, or restrained in any way from Your people, and more besides. Rise up, O King, and show Yourself as our Defender and Provider, striking down the wicked but leaving them alive. You have stored up the wealth of the wicked to give to Your people time and again. Do so again this day, O King, that all men might know that You alone are God and King over all the earth. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
