Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 06Jun2025
Scripture Reference: Pr 3:6- In all our ways acknowledge HIM
Decisions, directions discussions, distractions, and doubting—oh, the delightful D words that dominate our daily lives! It’s like we’re starring in a never-ending alphabet drama. Do we need guidance? Absolutely. Should we recognize JESUS in all of this? Definitely. But is it simple? Well, not exactly rocket science, let’s be honest, we could use a bit of divine help. Are we pleasing HIM? Maybe, maybe not. Are we missing the connect? Probably left it on read. Any feedback from Jesus? We might want to check our spiritual inbox—could be some unread messages there about pacing ourselves with His leading!
Let’s take a look at these scenarios and find inspiration in HIM. May HIS boundless Grace Bless us to sharpen our skills in spotting HIM and HIS Presence, like a divine game of hide seek!
- Lk 17:11-19 - Reflecting on the account of ten lepers who called upon Jesus, He instructed them to go and show themselves to the priests. As they went, they were cleansed. One of the ten, a Samaritan, returned, overwhelmed with gratitude, unable to thank Him enough. Jesus, astonished, asked, " can none found to return and Give Glory to God except this foreigner?" He then said to the man, "Your faith has made you whole.". Recognise ACCOLADE!
- Jn 8:1-11-When JESUS responded with wisdom, when religious leader brought a woman accusing her of adultery, saying let one of you who is with out sin be the first to throw a stone at her! Everyone left realising their own imperfectness, when only JESUS remained, He told her neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more! Recognise GRACE!
- Mk 5:1-20- A Man possessed by a legion of demons, tormented and isolated and living among the tombs. JESUS decided to visit him, the demons recognised HIS Authority, begged not to cast out of region. After being delivered, the man was eager to follow JESUS, received a command to stay in his homeland, share his testimony, spreading the news of his miraculous healing and many were amazed! Recognise POWER!
- Jonah 1-4- When Jonah disobeyed God's command to preach in Nineveh the rebellious prophet fled to Tarshish. During a storm, after being cast into the sea, he was swallowed by a great fish and spent three days and nights inside it. There, he acknowledged the LORD, prayed in distress, and repented for his disobedience. In response, God commanded the fish to vomit him onto dry land, granting him a second chance. Jonah then delivered God's message to Nine, resulting in an unexpected mass repentance. Recognise 2nd CHANCE.
- Jn 11:17-44-Martha, grieving for the of her brother Lazarus, hurried to meet Jesus upon His arrival. She expressed faith, saying, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died." Jesus revealed, "I am the resurrection the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die." Martha recognized Jesus' authority, which led to an extraordinary miracle as He raised Lazarus from the dead, demonstrating His power over death itself. Recognise AUTHORITY!
Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend.
In His Grip
