Incredible!
The following is from creationmoments.com, March 29, 2021:
“New research shows that, when attacked, many plants make chemicals that will give munching insects a bad case of indigestion. They also seem to warn their neighbors about the attack so that they, too, start up their defenses. Some plants even call in air defenses. Some plants, when attacked by caterpillars, release a scent that scientists simply describe as ‘green leaf odors.’ These odors attract certain female wasps, who home in on the plant. The wasp will sting the caterpillar, leaving him paralyzed. She then lays her eggs in the pest, who remains paralyzed until the hatching young wasps consume it. That ‘green leaf odor’ is a plant’s way of calling in air defenses. It is communication between plant and insect! Some evolutionary biologists are upset with the intelligence and design in this arrangement. Plants are supposed to be too simple to communicate. As one evolutionist put it, this is ‘not a defense against anything’ … it ‘just happens.’ I remember trying that excuse as a child. The cookie jar fell to the floor while I was trying to sneak a cookie. ‘It just happened,’ I said, as if the cookie jar had come alive before my unbelieving eyes and jumped to the floor. My mother reminded me that things don’t ‘just happen.’ And science teaches us that things don’t ‘just happen.’ Not only do we see that God exists, we also see a bit of His love in providing for the plant and His intelligence as the author of communication.

Jeremiah 25;7, “But to your own harm, you have not listened to Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘so you have provoked Me to anger with the works of your hands.” The majority of Israel and Judah were not obedient to the Creator. To punish them he banished all from the land. The faithful still flourished during exile but the unfaithful generally assimilated into the Chaldean lifestyle.
People have quoted Ephesians 2:8-9 to me. But few people never read verse 10 in that chapter. Even fewer read the whole chapter.
Choose this day who you will serve.
Yeshua said if you love me then keep my commandments. The phrases moral law and ceremonial law are not in the Bible. These phrases were invented by Rabbi's and Theologians. Yeshua said "Do not be called Rabbi". Matt 23. We are also admonished to not be spoiled by philosophy in Colossians 2.

Shabbat Shalom!
You shall love your neighbor as yourself. If you love your neighbor yourself then you should share the good news with them you know:
Love YHWH with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strength.
Yeshua Hamashiach if you love Him then keep the Torah.
Live your life as one who is set apart, not in condemnation but in love.
As you keep the Torah mix it with faith.
I love you all.
Shabbat Shalom
Thought for Today: Shabbat September 03:
YHVH’s Peace is like a shaft of Golden Light that shines on you continuously. During days of bright sunshine, it may blend in with your surroundings. On darker days, YHVH’s Peace stands out in sharp contrast to your circumstances. See times of darkness as opportunities for His Light to shine in transcendent splendour. He is training you to practice Peace that overpowers darkness. Collaborate with Him in this training. Do never grow weary or lose heart.
My wife's family has a saying that a new baby will do wonders for helping you overcome selfishness. It will make all those selfish tendencies come to the fore so that you can whack it down. I typically do my selfish nature whacking at about 2am as that is when it seems to come out the most. ? ?
Shabbat even closer for me now. Some of you have already made it. Maybe you should take a seat, take your favorite drink, and your #bible and get things started right. #shabbatshalom
