Psalms 22


2. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? [You are] far from my salvation [and] from the words of my moaning. ב. אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי:
3. My God, I call out by day and You do not reply, and at night I do not keep silent. ג. אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְלֹא דוּמִיָּה לִי:

7. But I am a worm and not a man; a reproach of man, despised by peoples. ז. וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָם:
8. All who see me will mock me; they will open their lips, they will shake their head. ח. כָּל רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹאשׁ:
9. One should cast his trust upon the Lord, and He will rescue him; He will save him because He delights in him. ט. גֹּל אֶל יְהֹוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵץ בּוֹ:
10. For You drew me from the womb; You made me secure on my mother's breasts. י. כִּי אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל שְׁדֵי אִמִּי:
11. Upon You, I was cast from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God. יא. עָלֶיךָ הָשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָתָּה:
12. Do not distance Yourself from me, for distress is near; for there is none to help. יב. אַל תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי צָרָה קְרוֹבָה כִּי אֵין עוֹזֵר:
13. Great bulls have surrounded me; the mighty ones of Bashan encompassed me. יג. סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרוּנִי:
14. They opened their mouth against me [like] a tearing, roaring lion. יד. פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵג:
15. I was spilled like water, and all my bones were separated; my heart was like wax, melting within my innards. טו. כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּרְדוּ כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדּוֹנָג נָמֵס בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָי:
16. My strength became dried out like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my palate; and You set me down in the dust of death. טז. יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ | כֹּחִי וּלְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי וְלַעֲפַר מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵנִי:
17. For dogs have surrounded me; a band of evildoers has encompassed me, like a lion, my hands and feet. יז. כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָי:
18. I tell about all my bones. They look and gloat over me. יח. אֲסַפֵּר כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ בִי:
19. They share my garments among themselves and cast lots for my raiment. יט. יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל:
20. But You, O Lord, do not distance Yourself; my strength, hasten to my assistance. כ. וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אַל תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה:
23. I will tell Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You. כג. אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶךָּ:
24. You who fear the Lord, praise Him; all the seed of Jacob, honor Him, and fear Him, all the seed of Israel. כד. יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה | הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנוּ כָּל זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל:

THE GOOD SHEPHERD

Yeshua says In John 10, “I AM the good shepherd.”  My sheep know my voice and to the voice of a stranger my sheep will not  listen.  When I (Yeshua) call, my sheep will gather into the sheepfold where they will be safe and warm and provision is abundant.  The sheepfold can be likened  to a Fortress (a tower), that all who run to it are safe. 
The enemy tries to make holes in the wall of the fortress/sheepfold of Yeshua.  Sometimes even breaking down parts of the wall.  We as people of LIFE are to be there ready for just such an occurrence.  We are to stand for LIFE, stand in the GAP that has been broken down and help repair the wall.  We are to be acting as agents of Redemption.  Doing the same as Yeshua does to help rebuild what ever has been torn apart in people`s lives.  Yeshua also says that whoever does not gather, SCATTERS.  We are to be doing the work that Yeshua did.  This is helping people to enter the safety of the sheepfold, not turning them away.

Yeshua`s first public sermon was Isaiah 61.  Verse 4, speaks of the Spirit rebuilding or repairing the ancient ruins and bringing restoration to our lives.  Even restoring the places that have been devastated for generations. 
Here is the passage;
They will rebuild the ancient ruins
   and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
   that have been devastated for generations. 


Maybe you can think of sins in your family that your Grandpa or Grandma did and then your Mom or Dad did and now you are doing the same thing.  It could be attitude, an action or a reaction that you do not seem to have control over in your life.  You could even think that this thing is a thorn in your side.  I am hear to tell you that it is not something you have to live with for the rest of your life.  No, it can be repaired and restored by the blood of Yeshua.  This is the meaning of Redemption.  You were bought, the price is the BLOOD of the Lamb that was paid for you. 
If you think you have a thorn in your side today,  ask Yeshua to remove it by His blood.  A thorn is something that when it is not pulled out will cause infection and an oozing at the sight.  It may never truly heal do to the continued irritation.  This term is often used when we just cannot get victory in a certain area of our lives.  We do NOT need to have a thorn in our side.  God`s desire is that we walk free of all things that encumber us.  Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.  It is for the SAKE of freedom that you have been set free.

Today, I intercede for all who read these words that your lives would be free of thorns, and sins that may easily encumber you.  That you walk in freedom today because the Lamb of God(YESHUA)paid the price for you.  That you will stand in the gap and be a builder of the wall, and not one who tears down, in Yeshua`s Name.
