Psalm 30; 4 - 5 “Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. 5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”To remember and to mention are the same word, David implies that when we even mention the Creator we are to give thanks. A bad time may only lasts for a short while but there will always be a time of joy. David knew how much trouble poor choices can bring and he also knew that with the help from the Creator we are able to turn what we see as trouble into something that glorifies the Creator. Even during the tough times we praise our Creator for everything at the mention of His name.
Thought for Today: Friday November 11:
Let us trust YHVH in every detail of our lives. Nothing is random in His Kingdom. Everything that happens, fits into a pattern for good, to those who Loves Him. Instead of trying to analyse the intricacies of the pattern, let us focus our energy on trusting Elohiym and thanking Him at all times. Nothing is wasted when we walk close to Him. Even our mistakes and sins can be recycled into something good, through His Transforming Grace. While we were living in darkness, He began to shine His Light of His Presence into our sin-stained lives. Finally, He lifted us up from the mire into His Marvellous Light. Having sacrificed His Own Life for us, He can be trusted in every facet of our lives.

When God said of Israel, "I have given her a certificate of divorce", it was a rhetorical statement only. (He's not *actually* married to Israel, after all.) God made promises to the twelve tribes of Israel and to utterly reject any of them would be to cease being God. Abraham's semi-repudiations of Sarah in Egypt and Philistia were prophetic of God's semi-repudiation of Israel and Judah. He expelled them from the land and from Zion for a time, but he also promised to restore them. Just as Abraham would never have utterly rejected Sarah, God will never utterly reject the physical, genetic descendants of Jacob.

I have a general question about the Sabbath. Do no ordinary work, what exactly does that mean. So for example if my son comes over for the weekend and he wants to go fishing on Saturday am I offending God? What if my son in law comes to visit our place in the woods and wants to hunt with me on Saturday? I guess my thinking is I am not a professional fisherman so do something recreational like fishing is not work. Same goes for hunting? Any input or feedback on this would really be appreciated.
