​Scripture of the Week:
​
Psalm 92

Of David.

It is good to praise the LORD,
to sing hymns to Your name, O Most High,

To proclaim Your steadfast love at daybreak,
Your faithfulness each night

With a ten-stringed harp,
with voice and lyre together.

You have gladdened me by Your deeds, O LORD;
I shout for joy at Your handiwork.

How great are Your works, O LORD,
how very subtle Or “profound.” Your designs!

A brutish man cannot know,
a fool cannot understand this:

though the wicked sprout like grass,
though all evildoers blossom,
it is only that they may be destroyed forever.

But You are exalted, O LORD, for all time.
Surely, Your enemies, O LORD,
surely, Your enemies perish;
all evildoers are scattered.

You raise my horn high like that of a wild ox;
I am soaked in freshening oil.

I shall see the defeat of my watchful foes,
hear of the downfall of the wicked who beset me.

The righteous bloom like a date-palm;
they thrive like a cedar in Lebanon;

planted in the house of the LORD,
they flourish in the courts of our God.

In old age they still produce fruit;
they are full of sap and freshness,

attesting that the LORD is upright,
my rock, in whom there is no wrong.

Lamentation In Today's World

0 Comments

How lonely sits the city that was full of people!
How like a widow has she become, she who was great among the nations!
She who was a princess among the provinces has become a slave.

2 She weeps bitterly in the night,with tears on her cheeks; among all her lovers
she has none to comfort her; all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
they have become her enemies.
Lamentations 1:1-2

How familiar this sounds in the world today. For a small fraction of time the roads and streets were empty and places were teeming with life not human. We had become slaves to those in authority over us. Neighbor was against neighbor and so many were hoarding things that many need down to the simplest hygiene items. Control measures were put in place yet there were many who disregarded the warnings only to find out they had become sick and infected their own families causing some of them to die. What we are living in sounds like one of the pandemic movies, but here, people do not come back to be seen again in some other feature, they are gone.

 How did this happen? Our world is full of those who want total control and to do so must control the population through fear. Once they smell fear, they are like ravenous wolves coming in for the slaughter of the meek, innocent, and broken. Satan is not using one person but many to incite this fear of the unknown to maintain control and remove the things we have taken for granted and those that are our God given rights. He has made us slaves and uses his minions to keep many at bay.  

What Satan does not want to believe is that there are those of us who will not give in to the false fear because we have reverent fear of God. We know that if we disobey then we will be separated. We know that there is only one who can save us from the eternal damnation and that is God. 

God sent His Word down in the flesh to us so that we would turn back to God and be saved from death. Many listened and the powers that be back then hid the true purpose only to instruments in God's Plan. Every Word in Scripture rings of truth and it is up to us to listen, hear it, believe and obey. Still many do not want to believe and will stop at nothing to make us suffer. They do not see that their purpose has already been written and confirmed by God. 

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, we are God's Children for He created us. He chose a nation and they did their part and are still part of the plan. We need to do our part as the Great Commission tells us by spreading God's Word and the sacrifice He made through His Son so that we may live. With the Holy Spirit we can win battles on earth that are echoed for our spirits in Heaven. 

Do not give into this fear and Keep God's Word on your heart. Love all because God Loves all of us. Be safe and follow the Laws of God, Noah, and Moses which were reemphasized and taught by Jesus. Do not give in but give all Glory to God, the Father, Creator of Heaven and earth.

Using the Orthodox Jewish Bible we see the Lord's answer to how we should pray:


Avinu shbaShomayim (Our Father in heaven), yitkadash shmecha (hallowed be your Name).
10 Tavo malchutechah (Thy Kingdom come) Ye’aseh rtzonechah (Thy will be done) kmoh vaShomayim ken baaretz (on earth as it is in heaven).
11 Es lechem chukeinu ten lanu hayom (Give us today our daily bread),
12 u-slach lanu es chovoteinu kaasher salachnu (and forgive us our debts as we forgive) gam anachnu lachayaveinu (also our debtors).
13 V’al tvi’einu lidey nisayon (And lead us not into temptation) ki im chaltzeinu min harah (but deliver us from evil). [Ki l’chah hamamlachah (for thine is the Kingdom) vhagvurah (and the power) vhatiferet (and the glory) l’olmei olamim (forever). Omein]
