O my Father—O Father of mine? For a brief moment, I felt forsaken. Reading the account the world could have of my relationship with You as a mere concept is just more than I can bear but! Again, You put me to sleep. For three hours I slept. I woke up. The words written in Psalms 43:1-5 and in Psalms 27:4-14 resonated within my being.
Psalms 43:1-5
JUDGE and vindicate me, O Mighty Yahuwah; plead and defend my cause against an ungodly nation. O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man! For You are the Mighty Yahuwah of my strength—my Stronghold in Whom I take refuge; why have You cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling. Then will I go to the altar of Mighty Yahuwah, to Mighty Yahuwah, my exceeding joy; yes, with the lyre will I praise You, O Mighty Yahuwah, my Mighty Yahuwah! (5) Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in Mighty Yahuwah and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my [sad] countenance, and my Mighty Yahuwah.
Psalms 27:4-14
One thing have I asked of the Master, that will I seek, inquire for, and insistently require: that I may dwell in the house of the Master, in His Presence all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty, the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness of the Master and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.
For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock. And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Master.
Hear, O Master, when I cry aloud; have mercy and be gracious to me and answer me! You have said, Seek My face, inquire for and require My Presence as your vital need. My heart says to You, Your face, Your presence, Master, will I seek, inquire for, and require of necessity and on the authority of Your Word. Hide not Your face from me; turn not Your servant away in anger, You Who have been my help! Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O Almighty of my deliverance!
Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Master will take me up, adopt me as His child. Teach me Your way, O Master, and lead me in a plain and even path because of my enemies, those who lie in wait for me. Give me not up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me; they breathe out cruelty and violence. What, what would have become of me had I not believed that I would see the Master’s goodness in the land of the living!
Wait and hope for and expect the Master; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Master.
Hahaha! HalleluYah! What Now? Let’s See…Ha! They Say The Devil Is Non-Existent? But, after reading into A New Earth, what now do I say? Indeed! “They” have been bamboozled! The devil does exist. Not only the devil exists but he exists with a set mind to destroy us. The devil uses many instruments to bamboozle us—to make us believe he does not exist.
