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

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
