Thought for Today: Monday October 04: Introspection

Introspection never means never to give up anything because something you give up is a loss. Adonai only asks us to give up things of this world in exchange for things that are much better.

Search me, O G-d and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. --- Psalm 139:23-24

My Holy Father, make me willing to submit myself to the testing of Ruach HaKodesh and shape me for Your service, amein

Both Kosher and halal organizations refuse to declare "Impossible Pork" as kosher or halal, even if there is no actual unclean ingredients in it just because of the word "pork". It is one of those vegetarian meat substitutes.

Let us know what you think. Here is the article:

For observant Jews, Muslims, non-meat 'pork' is a dish too far - Washington Times

Jewish and Muslim leaders say that, although a new plant-based product that looks and tastes like ground pork isn't really meat, it isn't really kosher or halal, either.

I can understand their concerns. The Kosher/halal organizations do not want to risk causing confusion by certifying something with the word "pork" in it. It's one of those cases of avoiding the appearance of evil.

Give them time.
They are corrupt like everything else.
Sooner or later, whether good or evil, more shall be approved.

That is why I avoid eating beef hotdogs or turkey bacon. While they are not inherently wrong I think, they are certainly an appearance of evil.

Today's Poem:

O Father, our help in ages past
Our hope in years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home

Under the shade of Thy Throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient is Thy Arm alone
And our defence is sure

Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received her frame
From everlasting Thou art G-d
To endless years the same

A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun

Time, like an ever rolling stream
Bears all its sons away
They fly, forgotten as a dream
Dies at the opening day

O Father, our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Be Thou our guide while troubles last
And our eternal home

PRAYERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT -- PART 2

We have seen the resurrection of HaMashiach; let us worship the Holy Adonai Yeshua, Who alone is without sin. We praise and glorify Your Holy resurrection. For You are our YAHVEH; we know no other, save for You. Upon Your Name we call. Come, all faithful ones, let us adore the holy resurrection of HaMashiach, for through the Cross, joy has come to the entire world. Ever blessing our Adonai, we sing praises of His resurrection. He endured the cross on our behalf and has destroyed death by death. (Matthew 28).

He lay with quiet heart in the stern asleep; Waking, commanded both the winds and the sea. HaMashiach, though this weary body slumber deep, Grant that my heart may keep its watch with Thee. O Lamb of YAHVEH that carried all our sin, guard my sleep against the enemy. (Mark 4).

O YAHVEH, who has taught us to seek first Your Kingdom and its righteousness, teach me to say, “Your will be done” before I say “Give me my daily bread.” Teach me to accept Your will as the foundation of my happiness, and other things as only its superstructure. I am more afraid of the hunger of the body than of the hunger of the spirit. Convince me that it would not profit me to gain the world and lose my soul. Show me that it is only the possession of my soul that makes the possession of the world any gain. Impress me with the truth that no thing can bring me joy if I myself am not already joyful. Inspire me with the knowledge that the issues of life are not from without but from within. Guide me into the discovery that the pleasures at Your right hand are the only things that are pleasures forevermore. (Mark 8).

It is right and proper that we should give You praise and hymns and glory, O uncreated Father of Yeshua HaMashiach, Who is Your only Son. We praise You because You are known by the only Son, proclaimed and explained by Him to created beings and known in turn by them. We praise You because You know the Son and reveal to the saints the glories that are His. We praise You because You are known by the Word You begot and are seen by the saints and understood by them after a fashion. Holy, holy, holy is our Adonai of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Your glory. Heaven is full, earth is full of Your wonderful glory. (Mark 11).

Almighty YAHVEH, You inspired Your servant Luke, the physician, to set forth in the Gospel the love and healing power of Your Son. Graciously continue in Your church the same power to love and heal, to the praise and glory of Your name, through Your Son, Yeshua HaMashiach our Saviour and Adonai, who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of Ruach HaKodesh, one YAHVEH Elohim now and forever. (Luke 1).

I am not worthy, Master and Adonai, that You should come beneath the roof of my soul: Yet since You in Your love toward all wish to dwell in me, in boldness I come. Open the gates, which You alone have forged; and You will come in with love toward all as is Your nature; You will come in and enlighten my darkened reason. I believe that You will do this: For You did not send away the harlot that came to You with tears; nor cast out the repentant publican; nor reject the thief who acknowledged Your kingdom; nor forsake the repentant persecutor, a yet greater act; but all of those who came to You in repentance were counted in the band of Your friends, who alone abide blessed forever, now and unto the endless ages. (Luke 5).
