Good Morning Tribe!
It's been a fantastic year so far! Here's my thoughts on what we have learned and our excitement on the growth we've seen:

Matthew 5:17 is a continuation of 5:16. They shouldn't be separated. To paraphrase: "Continue doing good works openly, for this honors God. What? Did you think I came to do away with good works?"
The light you must not hide is the love of God that you bring into the world. The Law and the Prophets tell you how to do that. #yeshua didn't do away w mercy, peace, kindness, and righteousness. These are the whole of the Law, therefore he did not do away with the Law. #torah

Daily Prayer
Blessed are You Adonai our YHVH, for You are always ready to help and protect us. You are a present help in all our needs and troubles. Blessed are You Most High YHVH. Abba, You are our Redeemer and we thank You for Your Grace throughout the whole world. We pray especially for the believers in Muslim countries. We ask Your blessing on all believers who are persecuted or penalised for their faith in You. We pray for all believers who are exiled or imprisoned because they believe in You. We pray for all who are struggling with doubt and those who lack any teaching in the faith. We give thanks for South Africa and its freedom but we pray for the next of kin of the farmers who are killed, and the people who are homeless at this time. We ask Your blessing on the world’s poor and all who are unable to use their abilities and talents. Bless the work of all charity and welfare organisations and all who strive to relieve injustice and poverty. We give thanks for the love and protection of our parents. We ask Your blessing upon our homes and all our loved ones, that they may live in peace be free from poverty. We pray for all the children who have been taken into care and all families who find it difficult to cope. We pray for all parents who have lost a child recently. We give thanks for the medical profession, maternity departments and all who care for our well-being. We ask Your blessing upon all who are ill at home or in hospital and all who are give birth in this time. We pray for those who are injured in accidents, in war, in crime or through acts of violence. We pray especially for families where there is a child who is ill or suffering. We give thanks Abba that You are our Redeemer; that You seek that we should not perish but have everlasting life. We pray for friends, family and colleagues at work. We rejoice in the fellowship of all Your saints and ask that we may share with them in Your glory. Abba, we ask that You hear our prayers, that You help us and save us. We pray and ask this in the Name of Yeshua Moshiach our Saviour, Your Son, amen.
There's a super-duper practical day going on over at YouTube, in the 2nd day of the 2023 Homeschool Family Conference. Today's topics include brain training, multilevel teaching, together school, planning, record keeping, notebooking, and lots of advice on teaching Bible, history, science, language arts, math, high school, and even the Biblical feasts. Don't miss it! (We will be uploading all the videos here to Torah Tube very soon, too!)

DEVOTIONAL
A Sacrifice of Praise
Have you ever thought about how your life brings pleasure to God? All throughout Scripture, we learn about how we can use our lives to please God. In fact, we were created for God’s pleasure.
Since we have been given new life in Messiah , and we’ve experienced God’s grace, we should desire to please God. Since He has given us everything in life, we ought to give Him everything we are.
The writer of Hebrews tells us two distinct ways we can please God. The first is in Hebrews 13:15. The writer says that our first sacrifice to God is praising Him. This is what the Bible calls "worship."
Worship is the orientation of our entire life to live in awe of who God is and what He has done for us. We can worship God not only by the songs we sing, but also the way we live our lives.
Hebrews 13:16 tells us another way that we can please God: by loving others. When we love others, we are reflecting the love that God has for them. That is why it matters how we treat people.
Our actions are a reflection of how God has loved us. And since we’ve been loved by God, we ought to do good to those around us.
These are two ways that we can bring pleasure to God—by worshiping Him and loving others. This is similar to what Yeshua says the greatest commandment is in Matthew 22:36-40. He sums it up by telling us to love God and love others. We love God by worshiping Him and praising Him. We love others by doing good to them and sharing with them.
How are you doing at loving God and loving others? Do you spend time each day in Scripture and prayer, praising God for who He is? If we don’t love God first and foremost, we won’t be able to truly love other people in our lives.
