Have you ever stopped to ask what it really means to be a leader? I’ll be honest—I used to just accept whoever was in charge. Church leaders. Bosses. Even city and state officials. If they wore the title, I assumed they were worthy of it.
Maybe you’ve done the same.
But over time, we all start to see the cracks. We’ve seen leaders lead with wisdom—and others lead with fear. And that got me thinking… What does true leadership look like according to the Word of Yahweh? Especially when fear and confusion are everywhere?
One of the clearest answers comes from an unlikely place: Numbers 13. It’s the story of the men chosen to lead Israel into the Promised Land—men who should’ve inspired faith, but instead spread fear. And because of that, an entire generation missed out.
If you’ve ever been disillusioned by poor leadership—or if you’ve wondered whether real, Spirit-led discernment still exists—this post is for you. Come see the truth of Yahweh’s promises. Come see the connection to Yahshua, our perfect leader, who still calls us to trust and follow.

How do heroes get to be heroes? It may not be as difficult as we think. Then again, it may be even more difficult, especially for those heroes who have attached themselves to the Creator of the Universe.

Psalm 46:6 — 7, “Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” When everything around us seems to be chaotic, our Creator remains with us. He is the only constant in a world of turbulence.
A new Edition of The
Lawful Literal Version
LLV Bible is out now!
…a work in progress with over 70,000 improvements so far!
The whole text of LLV354 The God of 'Amen Edition:
BEHIND THE NAME OF THIS EDITION, LLV354 “The God of 'Amen Edition”: The Hebrew text of Isaiah 65:16 calls YHWH, “Elohe ’Amen” which means “God of ’Amen”. Most English translations have translated this non-literally by substituting a noun ‘truth’ or ‘faithfulness’ for the adjective ’amen. Some Catholic versions have separated the ’amen (‘be blessed in God. Amen!’) which fails to properly render the Hebrew construct state. To the best of my knowledge, this Lawful Literal Version (LLV from edition 354 onwards) is the only English translation that handles the phrase literally, rendering it “(the) God_of ’Amen”. A use of the Hebrew word ’Amen as a noun (written in Greek letters according to Hebrew pronunciation) is found in 2 Corinthians 1:20, and also in Revelation 3:14 where the Anointed Yeshu` calls himself “the ’Amen”. Indeed, Father YHWH is Yeshu`’s God, as he says, “I am_ascending to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God” (John 20:17). So the literal rendering “God of ’Amen” is fitting.
As far as the translator is aware, every name is now spelled with the aim of accurately reflecting the correct, historical pronunciations of these historical names according to modern phonetic English-alphabet transcription, e.g. ‘y’ not ‘j’ for the sound at the start of ‘yellow’, ‘w’ not ‘v’ for the sound at the start of ‘water’. The transcriptions in the LLV are aimed to be better than those of any English translation of Scripture made so far, because they consider not only the pointings of the medieval Hebrew texts but also the older transcriptions in Greek and Latin letters.

Thought for Today: Shabbat June 21
When we hear the word “suffering”, most of the times we think of physical pain. But phycological suffering is just as real and sometimes even more devastating. Paul knew what it was to experience phycological suffering; he told the Corinthians in a letter to them: “out of much affliction and anguish of heart” (2 Corinthians 2:4). Even Yeshua in the Garden of Gethsemane: “being in agony… prayed more earnestly” (Luke 22:44). After denying his Lord three times, Peter: “went out and wept bitterly” (Luke 22:62). Such times can come to all of us and YHVH still loves us. He will never abandon us. He is our Stronghold and Refuge.
