Thought for Today: Shabbat February 15

A life without YHVH is like a boat without an anchor. YHVH did not attend for our lives to be this way. And when we come to know the Moshiach, He brings calm into our chaos and direction into our drifting. It does not necessarily happen overnight – but as we learn to live by the principles YHVH has given us in His Word, we leave the past behind and discover the peace He alone can give. Thank YHVH for doing this in your life, and pray for your friends and family who do not yet know the Moshiach, that they may find in Him the stability and peace they seek.

When we realize we've been taught egregious errors about the Bible our whole lives, we enter a period where we are skeptical of everything but are also vulnerable to introducing new whopper errors. Folks, if something sounds absurd about the Bible, it probably is.

Understand the challenge of the first century Christians, who came from not knowing bible at all to accepting Yeshua as the Messiah, was a long journey. They repented and accepted Yeshua as the Son of God quickly, for sure, but they didn't know how to live properly for years, having to unlearn their pagan ways while learning the ways of Yahweh as expressed in the Tanakh, the Old Testament.

Today, we need to follow a similar path. Paganism has been meshed with Christianity to a point that its very hard to tell truth from fiction. Sci-fi doctrines have been meshed in through the convenience of the internet as well. Take your time and contemplate things. Don't accept something just because the person teaching it sounds convincing. If it sounds absurd, don't even entertain it. Life is long and the knowledge of God and Yeshua needs to bring peace, not a constant sloshing around of strange doctrines that brings confusion.

"Put them in fear, Yahweh: that the nations may know themselves to be but men."

Ps 9

But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God...
Romans 2:17 ESV

The Law is not intended to be your advocate, so you can't depend on it to defend you in God's court. The Law is the standard by which you will be judged. It teaches you how to behave and love, but the only testimony it can offer in God's court is how you broke it.

Nobody is justified in God's sight by virtue of his ancestry. Covenants are inherited, but righteousness is not.

If truth is relative, then we cannot have a universal code of conduct other than the law of the jungle. If there is objective truth, then there is a standard of conduct that not only shapes our civilization, but links us to our ancestors from the beginning of time.

Daniel 7:21, “As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them” Many wonder exactly what these mysterious messages in Daniel really mean and there really is no consensus as to what they actually tell us to look for. We should be carefully watching because how these things occur may not present themselves the way we expect.
