Precious Souls

Day 39
327 days remaining after today.

Okay. I want to think this through with you. It comes from Matthew Henry ministering from the Text of Matthew 9.

Precious souls faint when duty is to be done,
 temptations to be resisted, 
afflictions to be borne, 
being not nourished up with the word of truth.

Henry, M. (1994). Matthew Henry’s commentary on the whole Bible: Complete and unabridged in one volume (1658). Peabody: Hendrickson.

Let me unpack this with you the way it has spoken to me. First all souls are precious to our GOD and all us souls have duty(ties) to do; day in and day out, morning till night and beyond there are tasks and chores and work and stuff to get done. With me? And all us souls while we are pushing through these tasks and chores and stuff, we are going to be tempted to do them just to get it done, any ol way will do, or non-ethically, or by some means other than the righteous way. Added to that, afflictions will come and we are expected to bear up under them, to take them in stride, to deal with them. This is the lot of all souls on this planet since the beginning of time. Well, since the fall of man in the garden, actually. So all of us we get this. This is life. Right?

Now we get to the best part of what I think Matthew Henry saw in Matthew 9. Something has been provided. Because without it, all us precious souls will faint! 

With the nourishment of THIS WORD – HIS WORD we live! And we live well! 

I’ll tell ya, this precious soul feels loved and instructed and comforted and  flat-out happy about this little nugget of truth. I am a precious soul. You are a precious soul!  ♥

Here’s our takeaway for the day: He has given us His Word to nourish us and keep us from fainting in this world that is often hard on us, precious souls. :)

ABBA, thank You. Thank You for men of old that loved You and gave themselves to the study and teaching of Your Word; thank You for teaching them and for the recordings of those teachings and thank You HOLY SPIRIT that You continue to teach all us precious souls. Thank You. Thank You for loving us. Thank You for providing every nourishment we need to live well in YESHUA’s mighty name.

Single-Hearted

Day 26. 340 Remaining.

11 Adonai, teach me your way,
so that I can live by your truth;
make me single-hearted,
so that I can fear your name.
12 I will thank you, Adonai my God,
with my whole heart;
and I will glorify your name forever.
13 For your grace toward me is so great!
You have rescued me from the lowest part of Sh’ol. [source]

Make me single-hearted.  A request I understand. A request that I make as well. A single-hearted soul married to the Son of GOD. Single-hearted; having a heart for GOD alone as LORD and Ruler of the soul; living in a covenant relationship with the Son of GOD. What could be better? What could better serve the Body of Christ than this? May it be so!

You have rescued me from the lowest part of Sh’ol.

That He has! Can I get an amen?!

On the Day

I come to you today with an invitation. An invitation to read Psalm 86. For a link and easy access to the Text, click HERE.

It’s a prayer of David’s recorded for us, for us to pray too; for us to read and fill our souls with strength and courage and just an all over sense HE LOVES ME!

This is the verse that sent me here to you:
7 On the day of my trouble I am calling on you, for you will answer me. [source] and this is my note to myself, actually to us. :)

On the day. On the day of my trouble. I will not wait. I will not wait to call on You ABBA. I will not first go to anyone else. To You I will come immediately with my troubles! And I will come first to You, ABBA, because I know You will answer me. 

That’s what David prayed. We can pray it too! We just did!

Refuge

Gallery Leave a comment

Reading Psalm 46 this morning.  Hear a verse or two.

2 (1) God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble. [source]

Refuge: a recourse for aid or escape. [source] GOD is our recourse for aid or escape. Today. Whichever benefits us most, aid through it or an escape from it; He IS it!  And ever-present to boot! His refuge and strength NEVER run out on us!

Verse 2

11 (10) “Desist, and learn that I am God,
supreme over the nations,
supreme over the earth.”  [source]

Desist. Stop doing what you’re doing [source] and do something else: learn that HE is GOD! Learn that HE is supreme over the nations. Learn that HE is supreme over the earth. 

And learning that my Friends will be a refuge for sure! 

Day 119 of 2015 ~ ~ Repentance. Perhaps our greatest need  ~~~ Kathie
Need someone to come alongside to pray with you?  email me

ABBA, my prayer for Friends, Family, and Readers today is peace, Your Peace. Strength, Your Strength received in us. Wisdom, for sure Your wisdom and not our own. Courage, yes courage from You to give to each other. A respite, as is needed. Laughter, oh yes, ABBA, holy laughter; cause it to ring out in this dark world. And solutions, solutions to the many ails in our individual lives and the world in which we live. And it is in the Merits and Grace of our LORD and Savior Jesus (Yeshua), the Christ, that I make this petition.
