Isaiah 6: 9-10 stood out this morning for me. It says:

And He said, “Go, and tell this people:
‘Keep on listening, but do not understand;
Keep on looking, but do not comprehend.’
“Make the heart of this people insensitive,
Their ears dull,
And their eyes dim,
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.”

Isn't that so true of the world today. We see without truly seeing, hear without hearing and our hearts aren't truly turned to Father.

I pray that Father will reveal Himself to all of us during Atonement so that we will "return and be healed". Amein

Thought For Today: Monday September 25:

The remarkable truth in life is that our choices matter, not just to us and our own destiny but amazingly to Elohiym Himself and the universe He rules.

In the Name of Yeshua, I cultivate inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that YHVH delights in. I choose to be a good, loyal wife to my husband and address him with respect. I will not be overanxious and intimidated. I purpose to be, by God’s Grace, agreeable, sympathetic, loving, compassionate and humble. I will be a blessing and also receive blessings. By the Grace of |God, I yield to the constant ministry of transformation by Ruach HaKodesh. I am being transformed into a gracious woman who retains honour, and a virtuous woman who is a crown to my husband. I purpose to walk wisely that I may build my house. Houses and riches are the inheritance of Abbas: and a prudent wife is from Adonai. In Moshiach I have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His Grace which He made to abound towards me in all wisdom and prudence. Ruach Kodesh, I ask You to help me understand and support my husband in ways that shows my support for Moshiach. Teach me to function so that I preserve my own personality while responding to his desires. We are one in flesh, and I realize that this unity of persons that preserves individuality is a mystery, but that is how it is when we are united to Moshiach. So I will keep on loving my husband and let the miracle keep happening. Just as my husband gives me what is due me, I seek to be fair to my husband. I share my rights with my husband. Strength and dignity are my clothing and my position in my household is strong. My family is in readiness for the future. I will not eat the bread of idleness – gossip, discontent and self-pity. I choose to conduct the affairs of my household wisely, realizing that wisdom from above is pure, peaceful, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy, in Yeshua Name, amen.

"Yahweh smote Nabal, that he died. Now when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Yahweh, that hath judged the cause of my rebuke of the hand of Nabal"

1S 25

When Moses descended Sinai on #yomkippur, his face shone with rays or "horns" of light because of his time spent communing with God. On Yom Kippur, the High Priest anoints the horns of the altar of incense, which represents our prayers to God.

We don't have to climb any mountains to meet with God and there is no altar of incense today--we worship him wherever we are "in spirit and in truth"--but his appointed times remain. He has set aside special days on which he wants us to set aside all of the business of the world to focus all our attention on him.

Have a blessed fast, brothers and sisters! #atonement #yomkippur2023
For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
(Heb 9:15 NAS95)

After the golden calf incident, Moses climbed Sinai and fasted again as he wrote the Ten Commandments and then came down the second time on Yom Kippur. So we fast, pray, and reflect on #yomkippur.

On Yom Kippur, we pray for forgiveness and ask God to write his commandments on your heart, so that disobedience becomes as repugnant to us as it is to him.

The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
Ecclesiasticus 26:13

A stone is heavy and sand a burden, but provocation by a fool is heavier than both.
Proverbs 27:3 TLV

A fool's provocation is heavy both to himself because of the self-inflicted damage and to others because of the misfortune they have to endure through no fault of their own.
