Thought for Today: Friday October 17
You and I have the incredible privilege of approaching the Creator of the universe… We can only do this because Yeshua Moshiach has opened the way. Therefore: We have to pray in times of adversity, lest we become faithless and unbelieving. We have to pray in times of prosperity, lest we become boastful and proud. We have to pray in times of danger, lest we become fearful and doubting. We have to pray in times of security, lest we become self-sufficient. We have to pray believing, in the Promise of YHVH’s Word that: “If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” {1 John 5:14)

After Adam and Eve sinned, God promised that one of their descendants would finally defeat the one who caused them to fall. The implication is that this same descendant would reverse the curse of death and thereby grant eternal life to any who would repent of sin and place themselves under his spiritual authority.
But the serpent was shrewder than any animal of the field that Adonai Elohim made. So it said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from all the trees of the garden’?”
Genesis 3:1 TLV
The serpent (Satan) was the catalyst of Adam and Eve's disobedience and expulsion from the Garden, yet Adam was solely responsible. Similarly, King Nebuchadnezzar was the catalyst of Judah's disobedience (see Isaiah 14) and expulsion from the land, yet King Jehoiachin was solely responsible.
If only Eve or only the people of Judah had sinned, but Adam and Jehoiachin had remained faithful, then perhaps there would have been no fall.
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.
Proverbs 18:22 ESV
Like so much of Proverbs, this verse must be understood in the light of the whole of Scripture. The Proverbs are full of warnings against the wrong kinds of women, and chapter 31 describes the perfect woman. He who finds a wife closer to the high end of the scale is most certainly blessed. He who finds a wife closer to the low end of the scale will also find poverty, sickness, and heartbreak.

WORD FOR TODAY “would you keep your vow”: 1Sa 1:11 She made a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and a razor shall never come on his head."
WISDOM FOR TODAY: Pro 21:21 He who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness and honor.
Ask the LORD how you can serve HIM better
