In the Bible we read about sheep as a metaphor for people. There is a reason God put that metaphor in His book – a reason connected to His land and people of Israel.
Samuel and Keila Wearp have learned about that through hands-on experience. These newlyweds had a working honeymoon in Israel, where they led a team of Christian volunteers in an expedition to shear sheep on a farm in the Biblical heartland of Judea. It was the first adventure of their new ministry, Rising Sparks.
Israel began as a nation of shepherds. Abraham was a shepherd, as were David and Deborah. Shepherds are still important in Israel today as the Jewish people reclaim the land God gave them. What may be surprising is who these shepherds are, and the importance of their work for the future of Israel. These Jewish pioneers are walking out the commandments and promises of God to reclaim and settle their ancestral homeland.
How does support for Israel have anything to do with the prophesied Messianic Age? Samuel and Keila have some thoughts about that. Their understanding of Messiah’s Kingdom is what inspires them to do things like lead a team of sheep shearers to Judea to help Jewish shepherds!

"...all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that YHVH had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their hearts melted and there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel." Joshua 5:1
Fear is the deciding factor in many conflicts, one reason that God told Israel so many times, "Fear not. Be strong and courageous!"

WORD FOR TODAY “HE is just”: Rom 3:29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, Rom 3:30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one. Rom 3:31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
WISDOM FOR TODAY: Pro 22:12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the treacherous man.
Ask the LORD how you can serve HIM better

"Because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight."

Jeremiah 10:21, “For the shepherds have become senseless; they do not seek the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.” The result of preaching and teaching the traditions and doctrines of mankind instead of the sacred word of our Creator is empty places of worship.

Thought for Today: Thursday September 25
There is much about heaven we do not know. YHVH has not chosen to reveal everything to us. But we do know heaven will be far more glorious than anything we can imagine. One truth YHVH has revealed to us however, is one we sometimes overlook. In heaven we will have new bodies – bodies that will be free from pain and death of this present world. They will be like the Moshiach’s body after His Resurrection – somewhat like our present bodies, yet free from limitations we now experience.
