Ask the LORD how you can serve HIM better

Remember the following:
When YHVH calls you to duty, when He requires you to serve Him in a certain way, when He put that calling on your life, – even if you do not know what it is you have to do yet – He already factored your stupidity into the equation. He already knows how many times you are going to mess up, He already knows how many times you going to have doubt, and He already knows how many times you going to go off the right path. But remember, He is omnipresent! He already knows how stupid and ignorant you are and yet He still put that calling on your life! He still abundantly blesses us through our lack of understanding. What a great and mighty YHVH Elohiym we serve! So, instead of being a backseat passenger, step out in faith and let YHVH work through you, regardless what other people think or say. Life is short. Be blessed
A religious leader who speaks half truths will lead their followers away from our Creator. Jeremiah 5:31, “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority. My people love it so, but what will you do in the end?” Just because you believe what you want to hear, you will not reach your desired destination.

A MIRACLE OF LOAVES AND FISHES
From John 6:1-14
After this, Yeshua went back to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, sometimes called the Sea of Tiberias. A large crowd followed Him, for they had seen His miracles of healing. They even followed Him up into the hills where He went to teach His disciples. Many, of course, were on their way to the Passover feast in Jerusalem. When Yeshua looked around at all the people, He turned to Philip. [Where will we ever find enough bread to feed all those people?] He asked. Of course, Yeshua knew what He was going to do, and He said this only to test Philip. [To feed everyone a bite or two would cost more than we have,] said Philip. Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother said, [There is a boy here with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what will that do among such a large crowd?] When He heard that, Yeshua gave the disciples instructions. [Tell the people to sit down,] He said. This place was covered with grass, so the people sat down on it as they had been told. Altogether, there were more than five thousand people there. Then Yeshua took the five barley loaves, gave thanks for them, and began giving pieces to His disciples. When the disciples had served all those who were sitting, they distributed the fish in the same way. Everyone had all that he could eat and more. When all of the people had eaten their fill, Yeshua gave His disciples some further instructions. [Now gather the leftovers so that we do not waste anything.] The disciples gathered the leftovers and put them into baskets. When they finished, they had twelve baskets filled with pieces of the barley loaves.
THE MAN WHO WOULD NOT BECOME KING
From John 6:14-15
When the people realized what Yeshua had done, they said, [This man is certainly the Prophet Who has been promised to the world.] Yeshua knew that these people wanted to force Him to become the king over Israel, so He left them and went away to be alone in the hills.
COMMENTARY
THE MOSAICS OF TABGHA
Along the north-western shore of the Sea of Galilee is a peaceful place called Tabgha. For centuries, pilgrims have come to this place as the traditional site where Yeshua multiplied the loaves and fishes and fed the five thousand. In the fifth century, a beautiful church was built at Tabgha to commemorate the feeding of the five thousand. Through the centuries the church was destroyed, and a new one built. But some mosaic floors still remain from the fifth century church, with scenes of birds and flowers familiar to the people who lived around the Sea of Galilee. One large mosaic contains about seven million little pieces of coloured marble pressed into mortar that held them in place. It is so large that it could have taken six people about three years to finish. Since each tiny tile is only about a fraction of an inch square, it took hundreds of them to cover a square foot of floor. One of the mosaics shows two fish and a basket, commemorating the event for which the church was built, it is located behind the altar. Others show birds, flowers, and other wildlife which was familiar to the people there in the fifth century.

COST OF COMMITMENT
From Mark 6:14-29
The news of Yeshua spread everywhere, even to King Herod. Some people were saying, [John the Baptist has risen from the dead. That’s why He can do such miracles.] Others said, [No, this is Elijah.] And still others said, [Yeshua is a prophet like the prophets who lived long ago.] But when King Herod heard about Yeshua he said, [This man is John the Baptist! Even though I had him beheaded, he has come back to life again.] Herod had personally ordered the arrest and imprisonment of John the Baptist. When Herod had married Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, John had repeatedly told him, [It is wrong for you to marry your brother’s wife.] Because of this, Herodias hated John and thought of ways to have him killed, but none of them seemed to work. King Herod was afraid of John, for he recognized that John was a godly man, and therefore Herod kept him safe from Herodias’ evil plans. Herod enjoyed listening to John, even though the things that John told him caused him to be disturbed. At last Herodias found the opportune time to put her evil plans to work. Herod gave a big party on his birthday and invited the leading men of Galilee, along with the military officers and government officials. Herodias’ daughter danced for Herod and the other men. Herod was so pleased with her performance that he made a rash promise. [What do you want?] Herod asked. [I give you my word that you may have anything you ask, even half of my kingdom.] Immediately the girl ran to her mother, Herodias. [What should I ask for?] she wondered. [Ask for the head of John the Baptist,] Herodias answered. The girl hurried back to Herod. [Give me the head of John the Baptist on a plate,] she said. [Now!] Herod was sad when he heard this. But he had given his word before his guests and could not refuse. Herod sent a guard immediately to bring the head of John the Baptist. The guard beheaded John in prison and brought his head on a plate and gave it to the girl, who then gave it to Herodias. When John’s disciples heard about this, they took his body and laid it in a tomb.
COMMENTARY
THE OSSUARY
In Bible times, several generations of one family frequently used a single tomb. Instead of burying each individual in a separate grave, the body was sealed in the family tomb immediately after death. After the flesh had decayed and only the skeleton remained, the tomb was reopened. The bones were collected and put in a small box called an ossuary. This box was then set on one of the special shelves carved out of the wall of the tomb. It was placed beside the ossuaries of the other members of the family who had died. This left the main part of the tomb empty for the next time it was needed, and made it possible to bury many people in a small area of land.
