Thought for Today: Sunday July 13

In my years, I have found it helpful to counter worries with the Bible’s Promises about YHVH’s steadfast Love. He loves us and, no matter what happens to us, He will never abandon us. We know this because Yeshua Moshiach demonstrated YHVH’s Love for us by giving His life for Salvation. Does this mean that things will never go wrong or we will never have problems? Absolutely not! But it does mean that nothing we experience ever catches YHVH by surprise or is too big for Him to deal with. Even when our days seems dark, YHVH never leaves us, nor does He allow anything to come our way that can overwhelm us.

I have just been very tired about many things. This Sabbath I zoned out from everything. I was so tired I slept all afternoon. I don't remember when I've been this tired. But I'm starting to feel better.

In this world you will have troubles from without. Yet you can have Shalom within.

Here's First Fruits Ministries' sermon for the Sabbath on 7/12/2025, called "Elementary Principles of Messiah, Part 16 (Resurrection of the Dead, Part D):"

"If the witness be found false, and hath given false witness against his brother, then shall ye do unto him as he had thought to do unto his brother: so thou shalt take evil away forth of the midst of thee."

De 19

Everyone needs the Sabbath… But not everyone knows they need it. They can sense their exhaustion and depression, their anxiety and fears. They feel overwhelmed and overworked, hyper-stressed, and highly frustrated… But they can’t understand why.

And to suggest Sabbath as the solution sounds insane to most people. Therefore, to force such a person to face the solution, would for them, become one more problem.

Rest forced upon the working man who does not want it is like sobriety forced upon the drunkard, still enamored with his spirits.

It does not matter that this device is the thing that is harming him. He cannot physically understand it… And his body has grown accustomed to it. So that to take his drink away by force could cause more harm than good.

If he survives the withdrawals and finds himself finally free of the need of it, once he is physically free to choose again, he will choose the booze and be back where he was.

Why?

Because his mind was not set free.

If one is forced to Shabbat when one does not want to, he or she will not get the benefits from it. They will be bored. They will be planning and preparing. They will be in their heads, anxious for the time they can return to their laborers . Each will be physically ceasing their activities yet mentally remain on the job.

People have to see that it is real before they can try to keep the Sabbath. And they have to keep the Sabbath in order to understand it.

We received it by Grace and accepted it in Mercy. And only in this way, can anyone.
