Many of you who listen to the podcast know that Myra’s mother has been ill. Over the weekend her mother was placed in a Hospice facility. For those not familiar with what that is, it is an end of life care facility where they are able to provide the specialized care not able to be given at home. The time has come for me to take the time to be with them and be a husband, father, grand father and son-in-law. Thank you for your prayers as we honor and remember her mother at this time. I will resume my daily thoughts and podcast soon, and again thank you for your prayers.

It is important to also know how God wants to be loved. I've mentioned previously that the world is trying to redefine love, and some of that is creeping into believer's mindsets.
We can't just define love ourselves and think "Oh, I am doing this thing because that is how I love, and this is me loving God."
In Exodus 32, we have the children of Israel, worried about the fact Moses has been gone so long, and that they need someone to speak to God for them. They have the golden calf created. After it was created, they said "These are the gods that took you out of Egypt".
Let's stop a second. First, it says they created one calf. So, why would this be "gods" in plural? In the Hebrew, the word there is elohim (אלהים) which means "gods". However, it also refers to God all over the Bible, including the first verse: Genesis 1:1.
Second, what Aaron says: tomorrow we will have a feast to the LORD The LORD in all caps showing that in Hebrew, it is God's name: YHWH (to replicate the Hebrew letters).
So, with both of these verses, we can see that they didn't create some new god for them to worship. They were trying to worship God in the way the Egyptians did. They were trying to love/worship God in the way THEY knew how, but not in the way HE wanted to be loved/worshipped. Afterward, we all know the story: Moses breaks the tablets, makes everyone drink water with powder grounded from the golden calf, and then 3,000 people died.
Knowing how God wants to be loved is important. He specifies ways He wants to be loved and ways He doesn't want to be in the Bible. Most of these instructions are all given in Exodus-Deuteronomy.

Good Morning!
Sometimes we just need to slow down and observe creation.
The second instalment of Messiah 2030 was released last week.

Thought For Today: Monday September 18:
Times of solitude help keep our focus on YHVH; during times when we are surrounded and overwhelmed by the cares and commitment of our lives. And remember -- YHVH is every moment totally aware of each one of us. Totally aware in intense consentration and love.

Abba, in the Name of Yeshua, it is written in Your Word to call on You, and You will answer me and show me great and mighty things. I put You in a remembrance of Your Word and thank You that You watch over it to perform it. I say that no weapons forms against me shall prosper, and any tongue that rises against me in judgement, I shall show to be in the wrong. The peace, security and triumph over opposition is my inheritance as Your child. This is righteousness I obtain from You Abba, which You impart to me as my justification. I am far from even the thought of destruction, for I shall not fear and terror shall not come near me. Abba, You say that You will establish me to the end, keep me steadfast, give me strength and guarantee my vindication; that is, be my warrant against all accusations or indictment. Abba, You contend with those who contend with me, and You protect and You perfect that, which concerns me. I dwell in a secret place of the Most High, and this secret place hides me from strife of tongues, for a false witness who breathes out lies is an abomination to You. I am through witness, and all my words are upright and in right standing with You Abba. By my long forbearing and calmness of spirit, the judge is persuaded, and my soft speech breaks down the most bone-like resistance. Therefore, I am not anxious beforehand how I shall reply in defence or what I am to say, for Ruach HaKodesh teaches me in that very hour and moment what I ought to say to those in the outside this world. My speech is seasoned with salt. As a child of the light, I enforce the triumph victory of my Adonai Yeshua Moshiach in this situation, knowing that all of Heaven is backing me. I am strong in You Adonai, and in the power of Your might. Thank You for the shield of faith that quenches every fiery dart of the enemy. I am increasing in wisdom and in stature and in years and in favour with You Abba, and with people. Praise Adonai. Amen.
