Living a Simple Life - Obey and Worship the Lord

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 01Aug2025

Living a Simple Life - Obey and Worship the Lord

Scripture Reference: Ps 95:1-5, 8

Ps 92:2 says, Let us come before HIM with thanksgiving and extol HIM with music and song. Let us march into HIS presence singing praises, lifting the rafters with our hymns!

And why? Because God is the best, High King over all the gods. 

Two things that Jeopardise this close relationship with the LORD is that stubborn and rebel. I call it as Push and Pull dialogue in a conversation. If we pay less attention, the discussion or dialogue go into different direction than we anticipated.

Let us pay attention to this conversation style between Moses, God and the People.

Ps 95:8 says- Do not be stubborn and rebel as your ancestors did at Meribah (Compliant) and Massah (Testing) out in the desert. 

People: Thirsty/ Kept on complaining to Moses. Give us some water. Did you bring us out of Egypt just to let our families/ animals die of thirst? Almost ready to stone him to death.

Moses to People: Why Pester me? Why are you testing GOD?

Moses to God: Moses cried out in prayer to God, “What can I do with these people? Any minute now they’ll kill me!” What am I going to do with these people?

God: Take some elders, a walking stick that you used to strike River Nile. That was Remanent. Remembering God what He has done in the past!

God issued an instruction- STRIKE THE ROCK WITH THE STICK while the leaders watching. Water was brought forth out of the Rock (Ex 17).

This reminds me that Trusting God in our life is very simple act that we can do. At times, we complicate the things and make it complex and mess. Let us obey and Worship Him always in all situation.

When we do thins on our own, it's just an action. When we do things as per God's instruction, it become Miracle.

So come, let us worship: bow before HIM,
    on your knees before GOD, who made us!
Oh yes, HE's our God,
    and we’re the people HE pastures, the flock HE feeds.

Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend. 

In His Grip

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
