Praise:
In Shabbat's Torah portion, Abraham again describes God as sovereign in heaven and on the earth. He says this to his unnamed servant whom he is sending to find a wife for Isaac among his family back east:
I will make you swear by YHWH, the God of heaven, and the God of earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites…
(Gen. 24:3)-
King Yeshua, with all of the shaking that our world is undergoing today, it is very encouraging to know that You are still the Sovereign over it all (Psa. 103:19; Matt. 28:18).
-
Lord, we say "amen" to David's declaration that the earth and all that is in it, including all the people that are on it, is Your possession because You are its Creator (Psa. 24:1).
-
We thank You for exhorting us to trust totally in You even when we do not understand what You are doing – because Your ways and thoughts are much higher than ours (Prov. 3:5; Isa. 55:8-9).
-
We praise You Messiah Yeshua for warning us that the days just before Your return would be both very dangerous and appear to be very normal as well (Matt. 24:37-39; Luke 21:26).
-
We bless You Lord God for Your divine grace and love as we know that You have chosen us (1 Pet. 2:9) because You love us (Deut. 7:6-9; 1 John 4:19; Rev. 1:5).
