"In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For Thou alone, O Lord, dost make me to dwell in safety."
Psalm 4:8 (NASB)

My favorite verse of this psalm of King David.
It is a promise for all who put their trust in Him. I can rest assured that You are always with me whether I am awake or asleep. My part is to remain truthful to my call that You, O Lord, have given unto me.

Father,
Help me to continually keep my focus on You and not to lean on my own understanding. My desire is to do Your will and not to have my own way. Let me be selfless in my desires.
In Yeshua's name,
Shifra

Exodus 13:15

"And it came about, when Pharoah was stubborn about letting us go, that the Lord killed every first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man and the first-born of beast. Therefore, I sacrifice to the Lord the males, the first offspring of every womb, but every first-born of my sons I redeem."

You, O Lord, have done the same for me. By sacrificing Your Son, Your only begotten Son, You have redeemed me! 

This is what You planned from the beginning. You want all mankind to know and receive the cleansing blood of Jesus. 

It is Your desire for all to turn from sin and to trust in Your redeeming Love, unconditional love. 

Oh Lord, thank You for saving me. Thank You for all You have taken me out of. I am so blessed not to be living my old wretched life. You have given me a life that is so exceptionally more then I could of ever hoped or dreamed of.

Forgive me, O Lord, when I fail to acknowledge Your awesomeness. Forgive me when I allow my selfish ways to take precedence. Forgive me when I try to do things my own way.  Forgive me when I give into the weakness of my flesh.

I truly want to do Your will and I want Your desires to be fulfilled in my life. I want all that is not of You to be stripped from my life.

Make me strong where I am weak. Encourage me when I feel defeated. 

Amen

Passover

Exodus 8:1b

"Let My people go, that they may serve Me."

Exodus 8:22a

"But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where my people are living,"

Exodus 8:23a

"Now you shall eat it in this manner: with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste--it is the Lord's Passover."

Exodus 12:13 

"And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt."

Exodus 12:46b

"nor are you to break any bone of it."

John 19:33

"but coming to Jesus, when they saw He was already dead, they did not break His legs;"

John 19:36

"For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of Him shall be broken."" 

Passover and the Last Supper are one in the same. 

In the natural God was restoring the nation of Israel out of the land of Egypt and Pharaoh's hands. 

When God says "let my people go" he also meant it spiritually. He knew what was coming. He was telling Satan that he could not touch His children. 

Jesus, Yeshua, became the final sacrificial Lamb for me and the world. All I had to do was to repent and give Him access. Hallelujah! 

On Passover none of the bones of the sacrificed lamb were to be broken and this was a prophetic word. On the cross none of the bones of Jesus were broken.

This was the fulfillment of that word.

The blood on the doors kept the Angel of Death away just as the blood of Yeshua keeps Satan away. Thank you Lord God!

Satan can not step on the 'bloodline'!

Pharaoh was like the devil as he kept people enslaved just as the devil continues to do today. Through the blood of Jesus I am no longer under Satan's foothold, but I am a bond servant for Christ, my Messiah. 

Thank You Father for the given of your Son and thank You Jesus for Your obedience to Your Father. Holy Spirit, thank you for filling me with revelation.

I give You praise and glory and I am so thankful that The Passover Lamb lives in me!!!! Amen.
