YAHWEH is our DEFENSE – 11 May 2022
Rev. 4:11 “Worthy are You, our Yahweh and God, to RECEIVE GLORY and HONOR and POWER, for You CREATED ALL THINGS, and by Your WILL they EXISTED and were CREATED.”
Our Abba … Creator of ALL THINGS … our heavenly Father … our Protector and Provider … cares for us with a DEEP and TENDER LOVE – He is ALL WISE and ALL POWERFUL and is our DEFENDER AGAINST ANY ONSLAUGHT of the ENEMY.
When we look down at our paths before us, we will see the PRINT of His FOOT, for He is the One Who goes BEFORE us and makes our CROOKED PATHS STRAIGHT (Is. 45:2)
It is to Him that we CRY OUT:
ABBA! You are my God … “ … earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs and is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is. So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary to see You power and Your glory because You loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. “(Ps. 63:1-3).
“My soul wait only upon Yahweh God and silently submit to Him; for my HOPE and EXPECTATION comes from Him” … for … “He is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my defense and my Fortress, I SHALL NOT BE MOVED” (Ps. 62:5-6).
Yes, our heavenly Father is the One we REST in … our Rock of UNYIELDING STRENGTH and IMPENETRABLE HARDNESS. He is our REFUGE and our REFUGE is IN Him. It is on Him that we LEAN … RELY … and HAVE CONFIDENCE AT ALL TIMES. (Ps. 62:6-8).
It is He … Who HEARS our CRIES:
O HIDE us O Yahweh, from the SECRET COUNSEL and CONSPIRACY of the UNGODLY, from the SCHEMING of EVILDOERS. Hide us Father against those who WET their TONGUES like a SWORD, who AIM VENOMOUS WORDS like ARROWS … those who SHOOT from AMBUSH at the BLAMELESS MAN; SUDDENLY they SHOOT at him without self-reproach or fear. (Ps. 64:2-4)
We CRY OUT: O HIDE us Abba from those who encourage themselves in their evil purpose … those who talk of laying SNARES SECRETLY … they say … who will discover us? (Ps. 64:5) Hide us Father from those who think out acts of INJUSTICE and say … ‘we have accomplished a well-devised thing!’ … for the inward thoughts of each one is unsearchable and his heart is deep. (Ps. 64:6).
YAHWEH HOLDS ALL THINGS TOGETHER:
Heb. 1:3 “He is the radiance of the glory of Yah and the exact imprint of His nature, and HE UPHOLDS the UNIVERSE by the WORD of HIS POWER …”
Yahweh is the King Who REIGNS. He is CLOTHED with MAJESTY … ROBED … GIRDED with STRENGTH and POWER. His THRONE is ESTABLISHED from of OLD, He …our spiritual Husband (Provider … Protector) – are from EVERLASTING (Ps. 92:1-2).
SPEAKING TENDERLY to our HEARTS:
In Hosea we receive the message of Yahweh’s name … that is restored … and we all knowing Him as our heavenly Bridegroom – Ishi – meaning our Provider and Protector.
It give the picture of heavenly Father … our heavenly Bridegroom …. bringing His own … OUT of the “wilderness” … SPEAKING TENDERLY to our HEARTS. (Hos. 2:14)
THERE … at that place … He will make our “VALLEY” (TROUBLE) … a DOOR of HOPE and EXPECTATION. And we shall “SING” there … at that place … and RESPOND to Him as when we FIRST MET Him and GAVE OURSELVES to Him. (Hos. 2:15).
Then … we shall call Him “Ishi” (my Husband – meaning our Protector and Provider) … and He shall take away the names of BAAL OUT of our mouths … and it shall be remembered no more.
Hos. 2:16 “And it shall be in that day, says Yahweh, that you will CALL Me Ishi (my Husband) and you shall no more call Me Baali (my Baal). For I will take the NAMES of BAALIM (the Baals) OUT of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned or seriously remembered by their names.
:19 And I will BETROTH you to Me FOREVER; yes, I will betroth you to Me in RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTICE, in STEADFAST LOVE, and in MERCY.
:20 I will even BETROTH you to Me in STABILITY and in FAITHFULNESS, and you shall KNOW YAHWEH. And in THAT DAY I WILL RESPOND says Yahweh …”
O Ishi! … ABBA … PROVIDER and PROTECTOR … HIDE us from the SECRET COUNSEL and CONSPIRACY of the UNGODLY … from the SCHEMING of EVILDOERS. Hide us Father against those who WET their TONGUES like a SWORD, who AIM VENOMOUS WORDS like ARROWS … those who SHOOT from AMBUSH at us … who SUDDENLY SHOOT at us without self-reproach or fear. O HIDE us Abba from those who encourage themselves in their evil purpose … those who talk of LAYING SNARES SECRETLY … they say … who will discover us? Hide us Father from those who think out acts of INJUSTICE and say … ‘we have accomplished a well-devised thing!’ … for the inward thoughts of each one is unsearchable and his heart is evil and deep. Keep us safe O Abba … in Yahshua’s name.
