Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before YHWH, which he had not commanded them. And fire came out from before YHWH and consumed them, and they died before YHWH.
Leviticus 10:1-2 #shmini
Pride, presumption, disobedience, lack of preparation = disaster.
The right thing to do can be difficult to discern at times. When you doubt, err on the side of life, mercy, and humility. #torah #yeshua
The very existence of the Jewish people as the remnant of God’s Covenant Nation of Israel is the greatest proof that God exists and that He is willing and able to keep His promises. That’s what I was able to share on Michael Rood’s Shabbat Night Live. The four-part series begins on Friday, April 14. As you watch, you might learn a few things about how we from the nations can and should take part in the continuing miracle of Israel’s restoration and final redemption.

For seven days (Nisan 15-22) we are to eat unleavened bread. Allow no hametz (fermented/leavened bread) in our homes or within our borders. The first and seventh days (Nisan 15 and 23) are for resting. No work is allowed except what's required for each person to eat. The day the #passover lamb is killed (Nisan 14) isn't a day of rest or technically even part of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. 1 day + 7. In some ways, this mirrors the eighth day of Sukkot: a 7-day feast + 1 extra day.
Unleavened Bread = 1 + 7 (Pesach, followed by Unleavened Bread)
Tabernacles = 7 + 1 (Sukkot, followed by Shmini Atzaret)
Exodus 12:15-20
We are working our way through the 7 days of Unleavened Bread, and today my mind is on guarding our homes so that we don't allow "yeast" (sin) back in. https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/IkFxU

Storytime
One day, a man got stuck next to the road with his truck. He did not know much about vehicles and was hoping anyone would stop to help him. Nobody stopped. Everyone was passing by, busy going to their own destinations. After a few hours, a man in a limousine stopped, the back window rolled down, and the well-dressed gentleman in the back asked him: "Is anything wrong? Can I help? And without waiting, got out, took his suit jacket off, rolled up his sleeves, opened the bonnet, and started fixing the truck right there next to the road. After finishing the truck, the owner was very thankful and asked the gentleman why he as clearly a rich man, stopped and helped. The gentleman then answered: "I am Henry Ford, I created that truck, and it breaks my heart seeing one of my vehicles broken-down."
The same is true with YHVH. He is our Creator, and it breaks His heart to see us broken. Why not today -- Allow Him to step in to repair your brokenness. Nothing is too small, too big, or too difficult for Him to deal with.
May you be very blessed.
