But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin,
so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise
might be given to
those who believe.
Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the Law,
locked up until faith should be
revealed.

“Shut in,” “shelter in the place,” “lockdown” or whatever
phrase is used we are all going through this together.
As I write this in March 2020, many throughout the world
are shut in their homes, these times resonate with past times of forced
confinement and restriction. For our household, this extra time has led to a
time of blessed study of God’s word. Our prayers are extended to those who are
truly suffering physical, spiritual and financial set-backs at this time. May
the Lord encourage each of us with His Spirit to know he is with us always.

The angels rescued Lot and his wife from Sodom:
But the men inside
reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them,
and

The word QUARANTINE
itself leads us to learn more about the number 40. Quarantine comes from the Italian word
quarantina ‘forty days’, from quaranta ‘forty’
In the Hebrew the word for quarantine is: חָפְשׁוּת: chophshuth or chophshith
- freedom, separateness
- freedom, separateness
It
is found in the following verses: 2 Kings 15:5 and 2 Chronicles 26:21.
The number 40 and 40
days are represented many times in the Bible:
Forty days Moses was in the mount to receive the Law, Exo 24:18.
Forty days Moses was in the mount after the sin of the Golden Calf,
Deut 9:18,25.
Forty days of the spies, issuing in the penal sentence of the 40 years,
Num 13:26, 14:34.
Forty days of Elijah in Horeb, 1 Kings 19:8.
Forty days of Jonah and Nineveh, Jonah 3:4.
Forty days Ezekiel lay on his right side to symbolize the 40 years of
Judah’s transgression.*
Forty days Jesus was tempted of the Devil, Matt 4:2.
Forty days Jesus was seen of His disciples, speaking of the things
pertaining to the kingdom of God, Acts 1:3.
Take Refuge from the
Coming Judgment
Come,
my people, enter your chambers,
And
shut your doors behind you;
Hide
yourself, as it were, for a little moment,
Until
the indignation is past

Psalm 40 - Faith Persevering in
Trial
To
the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
I
waited patiently for the Lord;
And
He inclined to me,
And
heard my cry.
2
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out
of the miry clay,
And
set my feet upon a rock,
And
established my steps.
3
He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise
to our God;
Many
will see it and fear,
And
will trust in the Lord.
“40” is
filled with much promise and meaning - Probation, Trial or Transition. Hebrew
letter מ MEM
Number 40 - Set apart by God,
holy, sacred - "father is king"
(Greek and Hebrew word meanings).
I recorded what I have found in a blog:
Psalm 40 - Set
apart by God
Shut inside their homes – Waiting
Then the Lord said to
Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over
the land of Egypt, darkness which may even be felt.” 22 So Moses stretched out
his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt
three days. 23 They did not see one
another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the
children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Exodus 10:21-23
And you shall take a
bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the
lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of
his house until morning. 23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the
Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not
allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.
Exodus 12:22-23
Jesus Christ - Yeshua Hamashiach - is our Passover Lamb! It is by his shed blood that we are saved (1
Corinthians 5:6-8). It is important to note that we live under grace
through the sacrifice of Christ. Yet these living symbols can enrich the
comprehension of the finished work of Christ and deepen the understanding of
future prophetic events.

Philippians 1:1, “Peace Not as the World Gives”
Paul's letters while under house arrest:
12 But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, 13 so that it has become evident to the whole [b]palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; 14 and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
30 Then
Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house,
and received all who
came to him,
31 preaching the kingdom of
God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all
confidence, no one forbidding him.

Luke 17
25 But first He must
suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it
will be also in the days of the Son of Man:
27 They ate, they drank,
they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah
entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise as it was
also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they
planted, they built;
29 but on the day that
Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed
them all.
30 Even so will it be
in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

April / Abril – to open
(spring blossoms)
The traditional etymology is from the
verb aperire, "to
open", in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin to
"open", which is supported by comparison with the modern Greek use
of άνοιξη (ánixi) (opening) for spring.
A primitive root; to open (the senses, especially the eyes);
figuratively, to be observant -- open.

A
prayer for all... Father, this is hard. Our faith is tested when
things are hard. When we can’t see into the next day let alone the foreseeable
future. Thank You for every miraculous move You have made on our behalf thus
far. Continue to move, God. Heal us. Protect us. “‘Because he loves me,’ says the LORD, ‘I will reduce him; I will
protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer
him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long
life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.’” (Psalm 91:14-16)

Amen.

Great is Your faithfulness.

Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.
