Lily Portion for Today: Sunday March 03

Remember! First of all, the Holy Spirit shares Love, then He inspire us with hope and sets us free – BUT, it is also sad to say, in many of our believer’s gatherings in churches, groups or social media, that is the last characteristics of the Spirit many will ever see. (Prayer: To be in Your Presence O Holy Spirit, feeds our souls. You clarify our own understanding of Scriptures. Please help my family to walk the road You wish us to follow, amein)

Do believers get plenty of exercise jumping to conclusions? Many Christians will attend a sunrise service on Easter morning because the tradition is that Yeshua/Jesus arose at sunrise. The Bible gives us a different narrative. John 20:1, “ Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene *came early to the tomb, while it *was still dark, and *saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.” (LSB) The Hebrew day begins at sundown, Mary could have been at the tomb at any time after sunset.

Thought for Today: Sunday March 03

Pure joy in the middle of a trial can seem like an unreasonable request. But if you remember you are not alone; that YHVH is with you; your faith is gaining strength; and you are being prepared for greater things; joy, in it's purest form, will surface.

My Sabbath post this time is to say, we need more songs like this one!

"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love"

Jn 15

As he loved cursing Original Hebrew Scripture from Psalm 109
"As he loved cursing, also let it come in unto him"
וַיֶּאֱהַב קְלָלָה וַתְּבוֹאֵהוּ

Leaving Egypt together. Don’t know what it will really be like after we leave Babylon. Only known servitude, competing survivalistically. Little time for family, for God, to recreate. Living on the knife’s edge all the time between anxiety and depression. Presumption and despair.
Craving relationship but certainly haven’t learned to be a community. Can’t imagine the faith that will be needed. Everyone is so scattered — their thoughts, their history, their positions. So many differences -- so complicated. So easy to swipe right. How will we ever be united?

What will it be like for all of life to hang on Yeshua’s voice? His provision borne of relationship. To value what He says even more than the bread we think we need.

When our food runs out, will we look heavenward? When we need guidance to deal with the giants, will we see as He sees? Will we perpetually, in doubt and rebellion, ask if He is with us or not?! every time there is a challenge?

All He wants is relationship. Community. Fellowship with Him. We don’t know how to do that — if we are honest.

He will provide the cloud and the fire. He is just waiting for our food to run out, our plans to exhaust.

Shabbat was given to us so we would know to rest in Him. It doesn’t depend on us and it’s best we acknowledge it and relax into that. There is no point anymore in working to get ahead. Or scheming. The manna is free and it equalizes by itself.

He just wants us to listen to His voice. Mysteriously - that is the manna. And there is no reason to hoard anything. It is new every morning.

We are each in our isolated world with a device in hand. Can we leave Egypt behind in the truest sense? Can we sing and worship together with a unity that we’ve never imagined before?

Because that is what matters to Him.
