Good Morning Torah Tuesday...
Father, Your COMMANDMENTS are a Lamp to our feet. HELP US TO LIVE AWARE, TO CHOOSE WISELY, to stay close to You, and ANCHORED IN Your TRUTH! Thank You FOR Your GREAT LOVE and MERCY. Thank You that You Wait For Us and You STRENGTHen Us. We come to You today, choosing to walk in Your Presence, Instruction, AND LIGHT. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. AMEN! - A Ten Commandment Countdown To 2023 - Be Faithful - Command (Instruction) #7 “You shall not commit adultery.” Exodus 20:14 “You shall not commit adultery.” Deuteronomy 5:18 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Matthew 5:27-28 Instruction: Faithfulness to someone you Love is of the utmost importance. Why? Because we should be a representative of God Our Father’s Faithfulness to us. Adultery is a severe sin. It not only injures the relationship of marriage, but also inflicts severe emotional damage for all involved, including children probably the most. Maybe worst of all... It is a breach of Covenant, the contract we have with Our Father. As we know, Our Father will not break His Covenant Promises, it is impossible (Heb 6:18). One could make the case that we are never more unlike God than when we break or are breaking covenant. It would be easy to think: "we are "okay", we haven't cheated on our spouse." Maybe this is the case... But maybe we are wrong. Yeshua, Jesus, says that lust is adultery in the heart (Matt 5:27-28). Not unlike murder, adultery starts in the heart as a seed. If a seed is not planted, it cannot grow. Remember, the world is fighting against us believers everyday and tries to plant rotten seeds very often through tv, radio, people, magazines, etc. We must always be on guard to what is going in our eyes, ears, and heart, so we can persevere and remain faithful. This should help in reminding us that when we commit adultery, we are committing adultery on Our Holy Father and Savior. This is sobering, and the reason why Our Father uses the adultery metaphor to show His people's unfaithfulness to Him (Jeremiah 3:8;13;27). The Giving of Thanks: The opposite of unfaithfulness is, you guessed it, faithfulness. Our Master and King wants us to reflect The Faithfulness He Has Always Provided. Our Father, He Is Faithful, and for this we can be extremely thankful. Let us now thank Our Father for His Son, and His Healing Power that is able to restore and rejuvenate relationships that have been crushed through unfaithfulness. Since Our God Is Able to reconcile us children to Himself by forgiving and restoring us from our spiritual adultery, then there is no doubt He can also Heal Relationships that have been hurt by infidelity. Confession: Let us confess any acts of adultery, physical or spiritual that we have committed. Let us confess the small, inappropriate innuendos, jokes, or flirtations with someone who is not our spouse. Let us confess any of our actions that we may have carried out with possible adulterous intent. Remember, even small seemingly harmless interactions with others can be dangerous. If our interactions spring forth from anything other than platonic interests in a person other than our spouse... we may be committing the first step towards adultery. Let us also confess lustful thoughts, fantasies, or focusing our thoughts where we know we shouldn't. Finally, let us confess before Our Kind and Merciful Father our unfaithfulness to Him. Prayer: Dear Faithful Father, we thank You for Always Being True. Help us to imitate You. Help us to always be faithful to You and our spouses. We ask Your Help and guidance so that we may be completely faithful in our thoughts, actions, words, deeds, emotions, and desires. Finally Father, we ask you to help us repent, turn from our unfaithfulness to You, and faithfully Love You with that Awesome, Constant, Faithful Love with which You Always Love Us. We Love You, We Praise You, and we thank You so dearly for everything You Do. Bless You and Your Holy Name Forever Father Yahweh. We ask these things in Our Savior, King, and Christ’s Name Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus Christ. Amen.
