Good morning Queen,
It's awesome to have you here in the house. I pray for success in all that you do and every situation that seems or feels hopeless, experiences a complete turn around in Jesus Name, Amen.
Today's bread gives the fragrance of a Father's backing (support). Before we get into the fun part let's give thanks.
Father thank you for your love and always seeing our needs, let your word fill us, assure us, give us the resilience to keep doing what you've placed in our hearts, Amen.
We are still in the book of Nehemiah and this time we would be talking about an answered prayer. Not just answered but came with much more.
In chapter 1, Nehemiah hears that things weren't going well in Jerusalem, the wall had been torn down and the gates destroyed by fire.
He mourns, fasts and prays to God to help him. I will share the last verse of his prayer. (Nehemiah 1:4-11 has the full prayer)
Nehemiah 1:11(NLT)
11 O Lord, please hear my prayer! Listen to the prayers of those of us who delight in honoring you. Please grant me success today by making the king favorable to me. Put it into his heart to be kind to me.”
Nehemiah 2:1-8(NLT)
NEHEMIAH GOES TO JERUSALEM
1 Early the following spring, in the month of Nisan, during the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes’ reign, I was serving the king his wine. I had never before appeared sad in his presence.
2 So the king asked me, “Why are you looking so sad? You don’t look sick to me. You must be deeply troubled.”Then I was terrified,
3 but I replied, “Long live the king! How can I not be sad? For the city where my ancestors are buried is in ruins, and the gates have been destroyed by fire.”
4 The king asked, “Well, how can I help you?” With a prayer to the God of heaven,
5 I replied, “If it please the king, and if you are pleased with me, your servant, send me to Judah to rebuild the city where my ancestors are buried.”
6 The king, with the queen sitting beside him, asked, “How long will you be gone? When will you return?” After I told him how long I would be gone, the king agreed to my request.
7 I also said to the king, “If it please the king, let me have letters addressed to the governors of the province west of the Euphrates River, instructing them to let me travel safely through their territories on my way to Judah.
8 And please give me a letter addressed to Asaph, the manager of the king’s forest, instructing him to give me timber. I will need it to make beams for the gates of the Temple fortress, for the city walls, and for a house for myself.” And the king granted these requests, because the gracious hand of God was on me.
Amen.
I love the phrase, the gracious hand of God was on me, it signifies the support of God.
Dear Queen, God's hand is upon you and He will support you plus help you succeed. Father thank you for your word let it sink deep into our hearts and be a light to direct us on our path, we love you, Amen.
If you are looking for a partner to help you in all you do, I know someone, He is called Jesus, He wants to be your Support, Defender, Saviour and Shepherd. If you want to receive him say with me:
Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen.
You have your Father's support.
Love Beth and Papa.
