YHWH's shalom to you and yours,
Tonight I am reading from Psalm 37
3 Trust in YHWH, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in YHWH; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto YHWH; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in YHWH, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil
When I just take the words I enlarged I come out with our part:
TRUST in YHWH
DELIGHT in YHWH
COMMIT to YHWH
TRUST in YHWH
Then YHWH's promise ......... HE SHALL...
Then continues our part:
REST in YHWH
FRET NOT
CEASE from anger
FORSAKE wrath
FRET NOT
That is YHWH's love all wrapped up, and our response in obedience to HIS will in our lives.
Where are we today? What are we thinking about right now? Thoughts filled with double trust in YHWH? Are we delighting in HIM? Committing our ways to HIM? Wow..that means each thought we think, each action we do, each word we speak, ...we first commit to HIM? No wonder the word trust is mentioned twice! When we trust YHWH 100%, we will be delighting in HIM while we commit all our ways to HIM! And when we follow HIS order..
We have rest, we cease from our anger...we forsake all wrath.......and we are reminded not to fret twice!
I know in my walk, I have run to YHWH with all the things I have fretted about..including anger and wrath, and I know too, that even though I ran to HIM, and gave HIM my burdens, I still ended up fretting! As we close our prayers, asking YHWH in the Name Yahushua....before we do so, we all need to do a double check on our trust in YHWH, and a double check to see to it that we really are trusting HIM and not fretting in any way. When HIS Way is followed...we truly do find rest in HIM! HalleluYAH
I don't know about you, but this really encourages me, and is a timely reminder from YHWH! What great love!
(((Thanks YHWH))
