At one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.
Ephesians 5:8-10

As a light to the world, we manifest God's creative/restorative power in the world around us. See also Isaiah 60:3.

Good Morning!

Sometimes God will use man made symbols to help us remember His truths. Today I'm talking about the difference between God made symbols and man made symbols and how all this relates to head covering.

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns
This is a time to evaluate where you are in life and what you do. Change is just around the corner, and you would do well to make the necessary adjustments as you progress. I have already imparted the wisdom you need for the transition to be smooth, says the Lord. Put your priorities in order. Isaiah 58:8 Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind.

Do you unknowingly share in someone else’s sin? Proverbs 1:10 warns, “My son, if sinners entice you, do not yield to them.” While that sounds easy and is good advice David would later write in Psalm 50:18, “When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers” Later we read in 2 John 1:10—11, “If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even rejoice with him. Whoever rejoices with such a person shares in his evil deeds.” We are not instructed to distance ourselves from sinners but to be very wary of them. Believers are to be an example for them and not follow their example of sin.

Lily Portion for Today

Adonai, let the mothers and wives be overjoyed to serve You – There is nothing more worthy of a mother or wife’s time. It means more nourishing to her home’s soul and more satisfying to her family’s spirit. Amen

Thought for Today: Friday October 13:

There is a reason why Yeshua taught us to call YHVH "Abba". He was trying to give us a clear picture of what YHVH is really like. He wants to comfort, to show His love, to accept us in spite of our mistakes. When I let go of guild, I can receive His comfort with open arms.

Healing Prayer:
My dear heavenly Abba, even though I am experiencing a sense of loneliness in my life at this time, I believe the promise of Your Word which tells me that You are with me. For this reason, I do not need to fear or be dismayed, because You my mighty Adonai and YHVH, will strengthen me, help me and uphold me, with the right hand of Your righteousness. Thank You my Abba. With Your help my Adonai YHVH, I will learn to be content with such things as I have, because just knowing that You are with me and that You will never leave me nor forsake me, give me renewed sense of peace and confidence. Thank You for Yeshua Who is with me until the end of the world. How I thank You Abba, that You will never forsake me and You will not leave me comfortless. My eternal Abba, You are my refuge and I sense that Your everlasting arms are beneath me. Through Your grace I am fully persuaded that nothing shall ever be able to separate me from Your love Abba, which is in Moshiach Yeshua my Adonai. You are lifting all my loneliness from me my Adonai and my YHVH, as I pray unto You and knowing that You are with me, will not fail me and never will forsake me gives me renewed strength and courage. Thank You my Abba, my Adonai and my YHVH. You are my refuge and my strength and You are a very present help to me. As I cast all my prayers and loneliness upon You Abba, I realize anew how deeply You love me and how well You care for me. In Yeshua Name I pray, amen.
