I have past my 4th month of my one year bible reading program. I feel that I am getting to know Yehovah better through reading His Word. I am using the daily bible reading program by United Church of God. But there are others one can use as well.

In Matthew 8:3 Yeshua touched the leper before making him clean. How many years had this man been alone? Touching the untouchable was as much an act of healing as was removing the man's leprosy. Yeshua didn't need to touch him to heal him. Later in this chapter, he won't even have to see the Centurion's servant to heal him. Yet he chose to touch the leper anyway.

Note also that, even though Yeshua had already healed the man of tzaraat, he still told him to be examined by a priest and offer the required sacrifice: Obey Yeshua. Keep Torah.

Yeshua was also sending a message to the priests: "I'm not just putting on a show. I'm the real deal."

2 Samuel 7:18, “Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?” After David is anointed as king he learns through Nathan that God will allow him to build a house for Him to dwell in. David sits down and begins to pray. His first words give us insight into his humbleness, “who am I?” Davis is awed by the blessings he has received and wonders who am I that my Creator believes I deserve anything and yet He is giving me the responsibility of Israel.

2 Samuel 7:19, “And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O Lord GOD, You have also spoken about the future of the house of Your servant. Is this Your instruction for man, O Lord GOD?” As David continues to pray, he seems to be filled with questions; much as we are today.

Shabbat shalom!
