THE DAILY LOAD


 


THE DAILY LOAD

 

“Blessed be the Lord

Who daily loads us with benefits,

The God of our salvation!

Selah” (Ps68:19)

 

The word, “selah” is used throughout the Psalms and other Hebrew music and poetry as a notation similar to “a rest” in our modern music. However, it indicates a broader word picture of… “to pause and consider or reflect in order to lift up and exalt the topic just sung or played.”

 

So… that is exactly what I did after reading this verse… I SELAH’D… meditating on each word and phrase to get the thought, intent, purpose, and motive infused into what was said:

·       Blessed – to offer gratitude with a physical expression of submission, humility, and reverence in relationship during prayer and worship.

·       Lord - Adonay – the ONLY ONE with sovereign power, majesty, and undisputed right of decision

·       Daily – day to day to day… ad infinitum

[Lam3:22-23 “It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed,

because his compassions fail not.

THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING:

great is thy faithfulness.”]

·       “Loads us with benefits” ( lā·nū, ya·‘ă·mās)

1.          lā·nū,"You are" or “us”

2.         and "ya·‘ă·mās”, (used only once in the Bible) primarily conveys the idea of melting or dissolving, often used metaphorically to describe the weakening or fainting of one's heart or spirit.

…in other words…

…“you are so overloaded with benefits

that you are overwhelmed to the point of fainting”

 

·       God – “el” – the mighty and all-powerful ONE (referring back to “the Lord”)

·       Of our SALVATION – YESHUAH – salvation, deliverance, healing, aid, victory, prosperity… to restore to wholeness

NOTE: For the Israelites, "yeshuah" was deeply connected to their covenant relationship with Yahweh, who was seen as their ultimate deliverer. This concept of salvation extended to every aspect of daily life, reflecting God's ongoing commitment to His people.

 

 

Ps103:2-5 “Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not ALL HIS BENEFITS:

·       Who forgives ALL your iniquities,

·       Who heals ALL your diseases,

·       Who redeems your life from destruction,

·       Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

·       Who satisfies your mouth with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

 

 

The Messiah has come!

 

“…ALL the promises of God IN HIM are Yes, and IN HIM Amen...” (2Cor1:20)

 

 

“NOW is the accepted TIME,

NOW is the day of SALVATION,” (2Cor6:2)

 

 

Awaken each day anticipating…

…THE DAILY LOAD!

THE FOOD PRAYER

Image
  THE FOOD PRAYER   Paul, on the topic of abstaining from certain foods, explicitly tells Timothy, “…For EVERYTHING God has created is GOOD , and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with GRATITUDE ; for it is SANCTIFIED [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the WORD OF GOD and PRAYER .” (1Ti4:4-5AMP)     Most of us have been taught from a young age to pray for our food. We don't necessarily know “WHY”… BUT WE DO IT… …even into our old age, knowing it is something “proper” to be done, becoming just another thoughtless, religious mantra chanted as a precursor to satiating our appetite.   We have even invented clever, rhyming “prayers” easily remembered and quoted by children. The one my dad taught me:                    “Down with your head… up with your paws… thank the good Lord for the use of your jaws”     Now… was I receiving that bologna sandwich with gratitude?    ...

The Perfect Will of God

  The Perfect Will of God   Rom12:2  “…Do not be CONFORMED to this WORLD , but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND , that you may PROVE WHAT IS that GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL OF GOD .”   I was always taught that there were three different WILLS of God… And you are placed in one WILL or another determined by your maturity level, your faith, and your closeness to God.   However… let's dissect this verse to clearly see the intent behind each part.   ·        CONFORMED – properly means: assuming a similar  outward  form (expression) by following the same  pattern  (model, mold). ·        WORLD - properly, an  age  ( era , "time-span"),  characterized by a specific quality  (type) of existence ·        TRANSFORMED - metamorphóō - changing form or shape in keeping with a transformed inner reality...
