1 Samuel 7:5 — 6, “Then Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD on your behalf.” When they had gathered at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the LORD. On that day they fasted, and there they confessed, “We have sinned against the LORD.” And Samuel judged the Israelites at Mizpah.” Pouring water on the ground is an act of repentance, with Samuel’s prayer and judgement this event becomes an act of worship as well.
"After this manner in time past did the holy women, which trusted in God, adorn themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: as Sarah obeyed Abraham, and called him Lord"

Thought for Today: Wednesday November 26
I have learned that serving Adonai requires prayer, and often means tears. Power for life for ministry, does not come from our own ability; it comes from YHVH. We need a fresh daily anointing from the Holy Spirit, and that comes from the time we spend with YHVH in His Word and in Prayer. “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from YHVH” {1 John 4:7}

FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – VAYYEITZEI:
“Vaya’an Ya’aqov vayomer L’lavan, ki yareitiy” ~ “And Ya’aqov answered and said to Lavan, ‘Because I was afraid...’”
Throughout his youth, Ya’aqov’s biggest problem was that he constantly feared. And he feared all the wrong things. He feared financial loss and exclusion, he feared his brother and his father-in-law, he feared both the present and the future. Because of his fear, he acted with guile and deceit, seeking to manipulate others in order to get his way and what he wanted. Does this sound like anyone you know?
The one person Ya’aqov did not properly fear, until later in life, was the one and only Person who deserved that fear: YHWH Shadday. He even attempted to manipulate YHWH to obtain his own desires, – and YHWH graciously but temporarily allowed this for His own purposes. Does this also sound like anyone you know?
Fear of anything or anyone besides YHWH is misplaced and unproductive. Yehoshua our Messiah said, “But I shall show you whom you should fear: fear the One who, after killing, possesses the authority to cast into Gehinnom.” Of other persons and things, he only said, “And which of you by worrying can add one amah to his lifespan? If then you are unable to affect the smallest thing, why do you worry about the rest?” He also said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of YHWH and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” We who have the blessings and promises of YHWH, whether through birth or by adoption and ingathering, have no right to fear anyone or anything else. He has promised to be our strength and our shield, as well as our provider. As occurred with Ya’aqov, fearing anything or anyone besides YHWH will only prevent or delay us from becoming who we are truly meant to be and truly realizing our hopes, blessings and dreams.
