Praying Psalm 5
O Adonai, hear us as we pray; pay attention to our groaning. Listen to our cries for help, our King, our God and our Father, for we pray to no one but You. Listen to our voice in the morning, Adonai. Each morning we bring our requests to You and wait expectantly. Father, You take no pleasure in wickedness; You cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked. Therefore, the proud may not stand in Your presence, for You hate all who do evil. You will destroy those who tell lies. Lord You detests murderers and deceivers. Because of Your unfailing love, we can enter Your House; we will worship at Your Temple with deepest awe. Lead us in the right path O Adonai or our enemies will conquer us. Make Your way plain for us to follow. Our enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery. Father, You declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against You. But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread Your protection over them, that all who love Your Name may be filled with joy. For You bless the godly, Adonai; You surround us with Your shield of love and we love You, amein.
It's been a rough road of discovery for me personally over the last year or so. Coming to repentance from my lukewarm evangelical faith has been both amazing and challenging in equal measures. As part of getting back on the narrow path I've had to evaluate every one of my long held beliefs. The latest has been the trinity. I would now consider myself a unitarian and these 3 short videos have been helpful for me. Shalom everybody. Have a blessed week.
My oldest just recently became a teen. It got me thinking: we call God our Father, as our Father He tells us to do things, yet we have a large group of people that rebel against those things. They say they are not for us or they are done away with or that was a different covenant or many other reasons. Most use Paul to defend those claims. Much like a stereotypical teenager not wanting to do what their parents tell them to do.

The Acts 15 LLV119 recording is highly recommended as it explains what the text meant before its misuse and corruption by the Early Gentile 'Church'.
Thought for today: Monday August 2: Choose YHVH
There are two kinds of freedom -- the false kind where humans are free to do what they want, and then the true kind, where humans are free to do what they must.
Surely, the arm of Adonai is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear (Is. 59:1)
Holy King of kings, Your way for my life seems demanding and difficult, but it is the only and best way for my life. Does not matter how difficult it gets, I want to follow You every day and every night of my life. Amein
