Shabbat Shalom - Happy Apr 2023.
*Your comforts*.
When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your comforts delight me. Psalms 94:19 AMP
The places or incidents in the Bible remind us of the outcome of His comforts. Misbahs, Reapings in Ravage, Boaz fields, Lion's den, wilderness journey, Thrashing floors, Sanctuaries, Giants, Storms, rushing streams, sycamore trees, high falls, abiding at His feet, hem of the garments and His courts. There are so many more—Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, Samuel, the prophets.. toppled kingdoms, made justice work, took the promises for themselves, protected from fires, and sword thrusts, turned disadvantage to advantage, won battles, routed alien armies, received their loved ones back from the dead, under torture, refused to give in and go free, preferring something better: resurrection. Others braved abuse and whips, and, yes, chains and dungeons. We have stories of those who were stoned, sawed in two, murdered in cold blood; stories of vagrants wandering the earth in animal skins, homeless, friendless, powerless—the world didn’t deserve them!—making their way as best they could on the cruel edges of the world. Not one of these people, even though their lives of faith were exemplary, got their hands on what was promised. *God had a better plan for us*: We serve a supernatural God in whom the impossible happens. Hallelujah.
Have a Blessed Month. In Jesus Name, Amen. 🙌
Peace be upon Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏
In His Grip..
Ps: Hebrews 11:32-40.
