Yom Shlishi, Kislev 14, 6004 – November 12, 2019
Singing As Building
We are told various ways that we can build one another up in Yahuah (the Lord).
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Paul was letting the Colossians know that they change their being through knowledge, becoming more like our Father. That change occurs when we let the shalom of our Father into our hearts, and we are thankful, and we then both teach ourselves and others and remind ourselves and others through singing. There is another time Paul said something similar.
Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Here we see wisdom brought into the picture once again. It also involves the heart and thanksgiving. The tone of this portion of each of these letters is about how we treat each other, especially in the family unit. Singing matters.
Today, as we approach a day where we are called to be more like Him, let us all remember to sing to YAH with thanksgiving and the pursuit of wisdom for each other and ourselves.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. You alone, You alone, You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of Your people. Let Your will be done here on earth as perfectly as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision, and let it overflow to those around us in need, that they would know that You alone are King. 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, and keep us from temptation. This is Your place, Father, King of love and grace. Please bring Your righteousness here. Forgive us our transgressions of the Law, Father. Let Your light shine in our hearts and minds. We need You. We need You. Let there suddenly be prosperity and substance delivered to us, and that in abundance upon abundance, Father. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen and Amen.
