Good Morning Monday...
Father thank You for this NEW DAY. As You Walk with us today, please keep us focused on The NEW LIFE You have given us in Your NEW COVENANT. Please continue to fill OUR NEW HEARTS & NEW MINDS with YOUR NEW SONG, YOUR EVERLASTING PEACE, and straighten The NEW PATHS You put before us. IN YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST's Glorious Name. Amen. - New… Part 4 There has been no shortage of long days this last year, right? It was a particularly strange, traumatic, and weary year. During exceptionally hard times in this life, how is a follower of The King of Kings, Yeshua (Jesus), supposed to keep going? When fear among nonbelievers, and many believers, has risen to an all time high, when despair fills this world, what are we to do? One word: REMEMBER. Not the old, washed up, same lies that we used to believe from this world, but The NEW, Wonderful, and Amazingly Good things that God Our Father has done for us. Go over all the times God has made NEW in your Life. Think about them, meditate on them, enjoy them knowing you have a Father In Heaven who Loves and remembers you… constantly. Talk with someone about them. The word “remember“ shows up in The Bible 240 times, so not only did Our Father believe it was important enough to include 240 times, but it is an absolutely essential part of making it through the tough days, weeks, months, years, or seasons in this Life. Tribulations will be common for believers in this fallen earthly world, so it is of the utmost importance to… REMEMBER. The next thing that is essential for a follower of God Our Father and Yeshua is waiting. While this one can be pretty tough, it is an essential, learned, and godly discipline. If you need to hear about the perils of not having this discipline, just go read about king Saul in The Book of Kings. Saul’s impatience had him striped of his kingship, not to mention he had an evil spirit put on him (1Samuel 16:14). This discipline can be a tough one though, especially in seasons that seem to drag on or move particularly slow. But guess what? Our Father, God, promises to show up and REMEMBER, He Never Lies, it is impossible (Hebrews 6:18). Now, He may not show up on our schedule or in a way we thought about, but He shows up. REMEMBER… He promises us He will ALWAYS be with us, He will never leave us, and absolutely nothing can separate us from His Love… Nothing. Let’s take a look at what Yeshua Himself told us, and also what Paul has to say about this Amazing Love of God’s: “teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I AM with you ALWAYS, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” Matthew 28:20 WMB “For I AM PERSUADED THAT NEITHER DEATH, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, NOR ANY OTHER CREATED THING WILL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM GOD’s LOVE which is IN MESSIAH YESHUA (Jesus) Our LORD” Romans 8:38-39 WMB Finally, God’s children make it through the tough times in this life with a NEW Song. This “NEW Song” isn’t necessarily one that is written and performed, though sometimes it does manifest that way, but rather something that is given to us by Our Father and Savior in Heaven Himself. The Bread of Life, God’s Word tells us: “Then He put a NEW Song in my mouth, a praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and will trust Yahweh.” Psalms 40:3 LEB So those who patiently wait on Our Father, who trust in Him, who have faith that He will deliver us, will get a NEW Song, delivered by Him. Spiritually speaking, this means NEW dispositions, NEW outlooks on Life, and a NEW acknowledgment of who our God is, and what He is doing for us. As we all know too well, this world is filled with songs, lyrics, and dispositions that are recycled, cliche, chaotic, confusing, washed up, despicable, unloving, selfish, mad, and worthless. The song of this world, particularly now, is just, well… wrong. Unfortunately, this world’s song can be awfully easy to sing, because we have all heard it. Also unfortunately, it is usually played at a horribly loud volume, which can make it invade our thoughts. But we as believers must “take every thought captive.” Let’s take a look: “and all pride that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 LEB If we but, spiritually armored up, push the mute button on the song of this world, stop and hear Our Father In Heaven’s Voice, and Remember the amazingness, goodness, faithfulness, and Lovingkindness of Our God and Father In Heaven… He will give us a NEW Song to turn the volume up on. And make no mistake, His Song is a chartbuster. A NEW Song that will make you want to dance like David (2 Samuel 6:14). A NEW Song means: NEW joy, a NEW sense of amazement, and a NEW appreciation. Others will “hear” this NEW Song, and who knows… maybe that’s where The King begins someone else’s NEW Song. Let The Creator of Heaven and Earth use your NEW Song to bring Light, Hope, and Love to someone else in this dark world. We have a NEW Song Brothers and Sisters… now let’s SING IT! 🙌 Need a little help getting started? Here, let David help: The NEW Song Word To REMEMBER: “I waited patiently for Yahweh, And He inclined to me and heard my cry for help. And so He brought me up from the roaring pit, from the miry clay. And He put my feet upon a Rock; He made my steps steady. Then He put a NEW Song in my mouth, a praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and will trust Yahweh. Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust and does not turn to the proud and to those who fall away to a lie. Many things, O Yahweh my God, you have done— your wonderful deeds and your thoughts toward us. There is none to compare with You. If I tried to proclaim and tell of them, they would be too numerous to count. A sacrifice and offering You do not desire. My ears you have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You have not demanded. Then I said, “Look, I come. In the scroll of The Book it is written concerning me: ‘I delight to do Your Will, O my God, and Your Law is deep within me.’ ” I have brought good tidings of righteousness in the great congregation. Look, I have not shut my lips. O Yahweh, You surely know that. Your Righteousness I have not hidden in the midst of my heart. I have spoken of Your Faithfulness and Your Salvation. I have not concealed Your Loyal Love or Your Faithfulness from the great congregation. As for You, O Yahweh, do not withhold Your Mercies from me. Let Your Loyal Love and Your Faithfulness continually preserve me. For evils without number have encompassed me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me. Be pleased, O Yahweh, to deliver me. O Yahweh, hurry to help me. Let them be shamed and abashed altogether who seek to take away my Life. Let them be repulsed and humiliated who desire my harm. Let them be appalled because of their shame, those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” Let them rejoice and be glad in You, all those who seek You. Let them say continually, “Yahweh Is Great!” —those who Love Your Salvation. But I am poor and needy. Let my LORD consider me. You are My Help and My Deliverer. O my God, do not delay.” Psalms 40:1-17 LEB “David danced before The LORD (YHWH) with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.” 2 Samuel 6:14 WMB
