Thought for Today: Monday February 03

The wonder of our Saviour is that He is so accessible to us in the common things of our lives – the cup of water… breaking of the bread… welcoming children into our arms… fellowship over a meal… giving thanks. A simple attitude of caring, listening and lovingly telling the truth.

The Torah Portion reading for this week is now available!

It was a good day here, great Sabbath yesterday, lovely weekend all in all.

"One of themselves, even one of their own Prophets said, The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
This witness is true: wherefore convince them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith."

Titus 1

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Romans 9:17 ESV

Pharaoh was temporarily elevated, not because he deserved it, but because God’s judgment against him would be even more apparent because of the height from which he fell. God requires protagonists and antagonists to carry the plot of salvation to the end. One he chooses to lead his people, another he chooses to correct them, and yet another he chooses as an object lesson to the world.

This doesn't say anything about Pharaoh's eternal destiny. His election was to a role in the liberation of the Hebrews. While it seems unlikely that he had a last minute repentance as the sea closed in on him, we can't really know.

Here are some Torah Scriptures in Yeshua that contain the Apocrypha and other books such as Enoch, Jubilees and Jasher. Which one do you prefer?
