Why NOT to use ice with injuries
When you injure something and it becomes swollen, it is your bodies natural response to heal the tissue and area. A natural response when there is damage to tissue is to increase the amount of white blood cells to the area to start eliminating the dead tissue and begin repair. By applying ice, you lessen the swelling, because you slow down the movement of the white blood cells to the area that are designed to repair the damage. This does not speed healing, but slows it down because the need for anti-inflammatory cells is decreased by the ice, which then will prolong the time it takes to heal. Arnica and DMSO are two great options in these situations that will drastically improve your ability to heal and heal quickly. These remedies work great for children and adult alike, and I would never go without DMSO in the house!
Tamar, possibly the daughter of a pagan Canaanite priest, was joined to Israel through marriage, and became an honored ancestor of David and Yeshua, one of only three women mentioned by name in the genealogy of Matthew 1.
Rahab was condemned to death as a Canaanite of Jericho, but because she put her faith in the God of Israel, she was counted as an Israelite, and became an ancestor of Messiah as well as an example for all who would believe in Him.
Ruth was a pagan Moabite, an enemy of Israel, but like Rahab, she chose to put her faith in the God of Israel and was counted as an Israelite, becoming an ancestor of King David and Messiah Yeshua.
When Judah heard that Tamar had been "sleeping around", he made a public call for her execution. Contrast this to her discrete defense. She sent a message to him asking "Whose ring and staff and cord are these?" in Genesis 38:25. She tacitly pointed out that if she was guilty, so was he, but she did so in a way that gave him the option of admitting his guilt or denying it. Hence his statement in the v26:
*Then Judah identified them and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not know her again.*
Consider also how different Judah's public shaming of Tamar was from Joseph's decision to quietly put Mary away when he discovered that she was pregnant with someone else's child.
The next 2 weeks will bring Christmas for Christians and Hanukkah for the Jewish believers. These holidays have nothing in common other than they both occur in the winter… or do they? Some have speculated Yeshua/Jesus was conceived at Hanukkah. Of course that would change the birth date to sometime in the fall of the years around the feast of tabernacles.
Thought for Today: Tuesday December 13:
Remember, the moment you were born, YHVH awakened the purpose He put within you – and He is attentive to that purpose every day of your life. So, today and always, may you experience YHVH’s Love and joy, may your life be filled with the blessings of His Goodness and Grace.
