King James Version
12 And they that shall be of thee
shall build the old waste places:
thou shalt raise up the foundations
of many generations;
and thou shalt be called,
The repairer of the breach,
The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Seven days ago, SPIRIT and I embarked on our 97th blog.
We called it, "FORTIFY your FORTRESS".
Along the way, He led me to a very powerful verse.
The one quoted above.
Which intrigued me further.
Starting with the phrases:
"The repairer of the breach"
"The restorer of paths"
What was that all about?
First, what is a breach?
Merriam-Webster defines it as:
: infraction or violation of a law, obligation, tie, or standard
: a broken, ruptured, or torn condition or area
: a gap (as in a wall) made by battering
: a break in accustomed friendly relations
: a temporary gap in continuity
When we started our "fortification" blog, I thought of the holes in our spirit.
From neglect, ignorance, carelessness, indifference.
Where Satan gets to us.
But Scripture went beyond that today.
By looking deeply into one chapter, I learned more.
What did fasting have to do with repairing the "breach"?
GOD was so specific, I found out here.
Repairing breaches to our spirit means we live right by GOD.
We live by His SON, His laws, His commands.
That we focus on the needs of others.
Especially the forgotten ones.
Isaiah 58:6-7
King James Version
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen?
to loose the bands of wickedness,
to undo the heavy burdens,
and to let the oppressed go free,
and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry,
and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house?
when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him;
and that thou hide not thyself
from thine own flesh?
Wow, I staggered in understanding!
That's always what happens when GOD's TRUTH hits.
You lovingly embrace it.
That we be aware of sin.
That we walk with SPIRIT.
That we believe in JESUS.
That we love GOD.
That we love others.
What other existence is there, anyway?
How can my days ever be boring?
As of this morning, we've written three articles:
All before breakfast.
All in a space of just over two hours.
When SPIRIT's on it, there's no rest.
No complaints from my end either.
Only a delight in His truth.
And complete focus.
GOD's WORD must be shared.
As I would always say, "SPIRIT dunnit."
I merely follow His prompts.
