Good Morning Friday...
Father thank You for this NEW DAY! As we rise to meet this new day, please let us be filled with Your Spirit. Wherever we go, let us SPREAD LOVE, JOY, PEACE, GOODNESS, and FAITHFULNESS. Let us desire to become more like You and to worship You IN ALL WE DO. Help us desire these things so much more than the sin that blinds us. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name we pray. Amen. Only 3 days until Feast (Rehearsal) of Trumpets everybody! Prepare The Way! - The 40 Days of Elul (Day 27): A Promise From God… His Word (Yeshua Ha’Mashiach , Jesus Christ) Gives Us Wisdom Our Father is reliable. His Testimony About Himself Is Sure. He is so reliable that His Word Can Take A Silly Foolish Person and Make Him Or Her Wise and Sharp. Let's take a look at The Word: “The Law (instructions) of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) is perfect, converting the soul; The Testimony of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) is sure, making wise the simple;” Psalms 19:7 Testimony. The root mean's "to bear witness." “The Testimony of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh)," pictures Our Father Speaking Of Himself. He Is Letting Us Know and Bearing Witness To Himself. Think about that for just a moment and what Yeshua, Our Savior, Told Us In John: “I and My Father are ONE.” John 10:30 Here Our Father Is "taking the stand" in His Own Defense. Now let's not get things backwards, Our Father Doesn't Need To Take Any Oaths. He Cannot Lie (Titus 1:2), but it is clear The Word "Testimony" gives the understanding that God, Our Father, Is Bearing Witness To Himself. How is the testimony described? "Sure." Sure means you can trust it, reliable, lasting. Our Father Only Speaks Truth...ALWAYS. This is why His Testimony Is "Sure." In Yeshua, Jesus Christ, He Showed Us...Sure...Perfect. The "Testimony of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh)" is so reliable, via His Word, and The Life Of Yeshua, Jesus Christ, His Word, that This Testimony Is Able to take those of us with no clue about where we are going in this life (this was definitely me), or why, and turn them into people filled with wisdom and direction for their lives. HalleluYah! Praise God Our Father and His Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Forever! What Our Savior has done for us is truly what The Love of Our Father is all about. In honor of God Our Father and His Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ, may we all search our hearts, forgive our transgressors, repent of our sin, and rejoice in the saving power of Our Messiah. After all, we are in the month of repentance and The Festival (Rehearsal) of Trumpets is only three days away. This reminds me of a wonderful verse to end with and this "Testimony of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh)" makes my heart overflow with appreciation for Our Savior: “When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:25-26 Extra Fuel For The Soul: “How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” Psalms 119:103-105 Extra Thoughts For Elul: Patience: The Hebrew term for patience is savlanut. It shares a linguistic root with sevel, which means ‘suffering,’ and sabal, which means ‘a porter.’ What could these three words possibly share in common? The answer is that being patient means bearing the burden of your own suffering. You tell yourself, I can bear these feelings on my inner shoulders. Holding them aloft and not crumpling under their weight, you are patient. – Alan Morinis, Every Day, Holy Day The problem with impatience is that it usually takes only a split second for its first glowing embers to ignite into flames that course through us even before we’ve become aware that they have started up. Impatience snuffs out consciousness, and before I even know it’s happening, I’m leaning on my horn, or you’re going hoarse yelling at your child, or cursing the postman. At this point, we don’t even recognize ourselves, and there is little to be done but to try to rein in these feelings enough to minimize any damage we might do. . . . When you find yourself in a situation that is triggering your impatience, instead of giving all your attention and energy to finding fault with the person who is so clearly at fault, you can choose to be patient and take responsibility for your emotional response to the situation. You make the choice of whether you buckle or call on Our Father’s Teachings of patience to help you bear the burden of the situation. My teacher, Rabbi Perr, calls this awareness and exercise of choice “opening the space between the match and the fuse.” – Alan Morinis, Everyday Holiness Food for thought: Something To Ponder: When do you find it easiest to be patient? In what situations do you tend to become impatient? Are there any common triggers? Is there anyone you owe an apology as a result of your impatience? What would it take to “open the space between the match and the fuse?” “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.” Ephesians 4:2 “You too, be patient and stand firm, because The LORD’s coming is near.” James 5:8 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” 1 Corinthians 13:4 “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:12 “I am my Beloved’s, and my Beloved is mine. He feeds His Flock among the lilies.” Song of Solomon 6:3
