THE LEGEND OF THE TRUTH AND THE LIE:
The truth and the lie met one day, and the lie said to the truth: “it is a marvellous day today”. The truth looked up to the sky and thought that the day really was beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a river. The lie then tells the truth; “the water is very nice, let us swim together.” At first, the truth once again suspiciously test the water and discovers it is indeed very nice. So they start swimming together. Suddenly, the lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothing of the truth, and runs away. The furious truth came out of the water and tried to find the lie everywhere, to get it clothes back. However, the world seeing the truth naked, turns its gaze away with contempt and rage. The poor truth returned to the water and disappeared forever, hiding therein its shame. Since then, the lie travels around the world, dressed as the truth, satisfying the needs of societies. Because the world in any case harbours no wish at all, to meet the naked truth. Be careful today not to entertain the lie in truth’s clothing. Be blessed!
Thought for Today: Tuesday November 25
YHVH is Spirit. He does not have a body, nor is He confined to one place [as a physical being would be]. At the same time, He has the attributes of a person: He thinks, He speaks, He communicates, He loves, He becomes angry, He grieves. Because YHVH is a person. He feels what we feel. No matter what we face, He understands what we going through. He even understands our temptations, for the Moshiach “has been tempted in every way, just as we are – yet… without sin.” {Hebrews 4:15}. And that is why you can bring anything --- anything --- to Him in prayer, confident that He will understand.
God has a plan for everyone, and He sends His angels to make sure those plans are carried out. Unfortunately, I can't promise that you'll like God's plans.

It’s one thing to read about history. It’s quite another to be there when history is made, as Beverly Hall and Cathy Helms know from experience. They were in Jerusalem when the Israel’s ceasefire with Hamas went into effect, when the living Israeli hostages were released from Gaza, and when President Donald Trump addressed the Knesset. Their three-week sojourn in Israel involved many divine appointments in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Tiberias, giving them keen insight into what God is doing to narrow the gap between Christians and Jews and establish Jerusalem as a praise in the earth! In this four-part interview, they share a very good report from the Blessed Land!
God works through His people, and therefore His people have the responsibility to get along. It’s a matter of Brotherhood, as Barry Phillips and David Jones explain in their midrash, and as the Aleph Tav Band and the Exodus Road Band share in their music.

And when Jacob saw them he said, “This is God's camp!” So he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Genesis 32:2
Mahanaim means "two camps". Consider these sets of opposing camps in this week's Torah reading (Vayetzei, Genesis 28:10-32:2) and Israel's history:
Jacob vs Laban
Rachel vs Leah
Man vs Angel
Jacob vs Esau
Israel vs Judah.
Some oppositions are within God's kingdom and part of his plan of redemption for both sides. Others are external and part of his plan to refine his people through conflict.
