Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 30May2025
Scripture Reference: Pr3:5-6
When we Trust God, blurting story sparks. When we listen for God's Voice in everything we do, everywhere we go, He will keep us on track! In all our ways Submit, Acknowledge, Recognize, Remember, Acquaint, Think about and Know HIM. He will Show us which path to take. Amen.
We must be constant to our attitude towards trusting Him, because that is the way to be happy, safe, peace, fulfil purpose and healthful. We must have a continual regard to God's precepts and Providence. We must believe that He is able to do what is HIS WILL, wise to do what is BEST according to HIS Promise. Let us recognize HIM by loving, serving, trusting and depending on HIM.
- Lk 19:1-10- Zacchaeus, a publican, chief tax collector in Jericho, was disliked widely for his nature of work. He collected money in the form of tax to send it to Rome. JESUS teachings, miracles and reputation for showing kindness to all, created a curiosity to him, which led him to claim a sycamore tree just to catch a glimpse of JESUS! The Bible registered that he was short and could not see Jesus over the crowd, hence he found a method to overcome that condition. We are all fall short in many ways, places. However the eagerness matters. We must be in a place to meet Jesus. We must not miss those moments. Life-changing interaction took place, where Jesus called him by name. Zacchaeus recognised and responded to the call, came down immediately to take Jesus to stay with him. A transformation began as he suddenly declared his intention to return all the money that had been collected through unlawful means. Salvation has come to that house. Son of Man come to seek and save the lost.
- Lk 8:43-48- A Woman suffered for 12 years and exhausted all medical help, spent all her wealth to get better health. The Bible says that she recognised HIM as her only hope and reached out in faith. She has spent every penny she had in the form but not one had able to help her. She slipped in from behind and touched the edge of Jesus's robe, the fringe of His outer robe and immediately her bleeding stopped. 2 people knew exactly what has had happened in that situation. Jesus was aware that POWER TO HEAL had gone out of HIM. The Woman felt that her suffering for 12 years, the bleeding stopped. Amidst the thronging crowd, Jesus asked, "Who touched me?" Though the multitude was, Peter replied, "Master the people are crowding and pressing against You. How can we possibly determine who touched You?" Finally the woman realised that she could not remain hidden, she knelt trembling before Him, fell at HIS feet to her knees in front of Jesus. In the presence of all people, she explained why she had touched HIM and how she has immediately been healed. She blurted her story, Jesus said to the woman, Daughter, you took a risk trusting me and now you are healed and made whole. Live well, Live blessed and go in Peace. Hallelujah.
Our limitation is HIS method of leading us to a greater lengths, heights, width and depth. No matter who we are, what we do, when we get a chance to recognise Jesus and embrace HIS teaching, we can be sure to get changed by His Grace. Hallelujah!!
Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend.
In His Grip
