Israel in the wilderness included a mixed multitude of former gentiles who had joined themselves to Israel in service to YHWH, including Egyptians, Kenites, Cushites, and others. They were all included in the "you" of Balaam's prophecy concerning #israel: "Blessed are those who bless you. Cursed are those who curse you."
Numbers 24:9

Tradition and legend surround time in the Bible. Evolution and millions of years compete with creation. When a day begins and how long a day is in Genesis have distracted us from the reality of what is written. Genesis 1;14, “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years” The perpetual calendar described in this verse is a clue that our Creator designed specific times for our benefit even before Adam was created and that means He had mankind planned as He created this universe we live in.

Shalom Shalom family ?

Proverbs 16:1-8

To man belong the plans of the heart, _but from YHVH comes the reply of the tongue._
All a man's ways seem innocent to him, _but motives are weighed by YHVH_
*_Commit to YHVH whatever you do, and your plans will succeed._*

YHVH works out everything for His own ends even the wicked for a day of disaster.

YHVH detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.

Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of YHVH a man avoids evil.

When a man's ways are pleasing to YHVH, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.

Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.

In his heart a man plans his course, but YHVH determines his steps.

Our loving Heavenly Father, Holy and Sovereign God El Shaddai, thank You for awaking us this day with renewed joyful Spirit of mind. Thank You for every single moment we can commit to You and give you all that we are. Thank You for blessings and provisions in this day, making our paths straight to walk in righteousness with You. We Love You and declare Your Name YHVH as only God upon our lips. May this day be according to Your will and way and every tounge confess that You are God. Please bless our children with Your Shalom, protect them from all sides with Your covering. Please give us the strength, trust and courage to walk bravely in Your commandments. Please bless the labour of our hands and let Your Spirit be in our work place. Please heal the sick, the broken hearted and the poor. We pray for a blessing over our spouses and marriages and each family member. Please fill our friends with the joy of gladness, let them see Your light and blessings in their life. Forgive us all our sins and trespasses against Thee and others. Please provide us our daily bread. Let Thy Kingdom come and will be done on earth as in heaven. Amein

Be blessed and stay blessed ?

Thought for Today: Wednesday July 13:

May you wrap your arms around the ones you love, look them in the eyes and tell them how much you treasure them. May you look around and take notice of all the blessings you would miss if they went away tomorrow. When you are tempted to indulge in melancholy or discernment, may you instead jump up, raise your hands and thank YHVH for His daily and Divine intervention in your life. May your humble gratitude give you keen spiritual insight and restful peace.

In our most recent video entitled, "The Red Heifer And The Water For Uncleanness," G. Steven Simons compares the red heifer and the water for uncleanness spoken of in the Torah with the redemptive work of Yeshua and emphasizes how Yeshua fulfilled these types and cleansed for Himself a people ardent for good works. A must see!

Nothing goes to waste on a farm - Torah Family Living
