Who is prominent in the stories of Yeshua's ministry? The poor, sick, incapacitated, humble, and reviled.

Who is prominent in the stories of Yeshua's rebukes? The rich, prideful, leaders, educated, and respected.

Martyrdom should never be a goal in itself. That doesn't honor God in any way. Rather, our goal must be a state of love and spirit in which martyrdom is just another service we may offer our God.

Latest food preservation project: pumpkins. We cooked, mashed, and froze some of the pumpkin for cakes. The rest is getting canned for meals.

Morning,
So without going into detail about what I've been going through what I can share is that in all my years I have never faced or experienced the soul and spirit wrenching that I have in this last year. I have been a solid believer over half my life and never once have I had issues in my faith. Yet there I was going through something that has shaken me to my bones.
Here are some great reminders and what brought me a bit of comfort and a little oil to my wounds.

Nehemiah1:8-9
"Please remember the word that You commanded Your servant Mosheh, saying, If you trespass, I shall scatter you among the peoples, but if you shall turn back to Me, and guard My commands and do them, though you were cast out to the end of the heavens, I shall gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen, to make My Name dwell there.

Now the next one for most wouldn't seem to be an encouragement but for me it really is. I won't type it out because it is a lot. I encourage you to read it yourself.

(Translation from the Scriptures bible)

ZEPHANIAH 3
