Lily Portion for Today: Wednesday February 14
Do not let your children fall into the habit to expect things from Elohiym, without longing for YHVH Himself – as if the gift is preferable to the Giver. (Prayer: Holy Spirit, saturate my and my children’s lives so that we can be focussed and directed to live and work to YHVH’s Glory, amein)
Psalm 8:1, “O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth You have set Your glory above the heavens.” David use of the tetragrammaton (the four Hebrew letters that are the actual name of our Creator) in this verse is telling us that He not only created the heavens and the earth, we can see HIs signature on everything in creation.
Q128: What was the name of the boy who heard Father call to him while he was in bed?

While we have now received enough donations to purchase the matzah, grape juice, bitter herb and booklets, we still lack in funds to complete the nationwide delivery and shipping of all the packages this year. That cost is actually more than the cost of the packages themselves. Our team is driving from Texas to New Jersey this week to pick up all the materials for the packages, in faith that your donations will continue and make this year's program a success. PLEASE, give generously and help provide a Passover for our needy brothers and sisters behind bars. Thank you!
“Then the righteous shall answer Him, saying, ‘Master, when did we see You hungry and we fed You, or thirsty and gave You to drink? And when did we see You a stranger and took You in, or naked and clothed You? And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and we came to You?’ And the King shall answer and say to them, ‘Truly, I say to you, in so far as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you did it to Me.’”

Sh’moth 26:15-30
“And for the Dwelling Place you shall make the boards of acacia wood, standing up.
“Ten cubits is the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the width of each board, two tenons in each board for binding one to another. Do the same for all the boards of the Dwelling Place.
“And you shall make the boards for the Dwelling Place, twenty boards for the south side, and make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons.
“And for the second side of the Dwelling Place, on the north side, twenty boards, and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under each of the boards.
“And for the extreme parts of the Dwelling Place, westward, make six boards, and make two boards for the two back corners of the Dwelling Place.
“And they are double beneath and similarly they are complete to the top, to the one ring. So it is for both of them, they are for the two corners.
“And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets – two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board.
“And you shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the Dwelling Place, and five bars for the boards on the other side of the Dwelling Place, and five bars for the boards of the side of the Dwelling Place, for the extreme parts westward, with the middle bar in the midst of the boards, going through from end to end.
“And overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlay the bars with gold.
“And you shall raise up the Dwelling Place according to its pattern which you were shown on the mountain.

Tehillah 94 - Day 4 (Yom Revi’y)
O YHWH, Ěl of vengeance; O Ěl of vengeance, shine forth!
Raise Yourself up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud.
YHWH, how long are the wrong, How long are the wrong going to exult?
They pour forth words, They speak arrogantly; All the workers of wickedness boast in themselves.
They crush Your people, O YHWH, And they afflict Your inheritance.
They kill the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.
Yet they say, “Yah does not see, And the Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ pays no heed.”
Take heed, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when would you become wise?
He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?
He who disciplines the nations, Does He not reprove – The One teaching man knowledge?
YHWH knows the thoughts of man, That they are but a breath.
Blessed is the man You discipline, O Yah, And instruct out of Your Torah, To give him rest from the days of evil, Until the pit is dug for the wrong.
For YHWH does not leave His people, Nor does He forsake His inheritance.
For judgment returns man to righteousness, And all the upright in heart follow it.
Who would rise up for me against evil-doers? Who would stand up for me against workers of wickedness?
If YHWH had not been my help, My being would soon have settled in silence.
When I said, “My foot has slipped,” Your mercy, O YHWH, supported me.
When anxiety was great within me, Your comforts delighted my being.
Would a throne of destruction, Which devises trouble by law, Be joined with You?
They band together against the life of the righteous, And declare innocent blood wrong.
But YHWH is my defense, And my Elohim the rock of my refuge, And brings back on them their own wickedness, And cuts them off in their own wrongdoing; YHWH our Elohim does cut them off.
Come, let us sing to YHWH! Let us raise a shout to the Rock of our deliverance.
Let us come before His face with thanksgiving; Let us raise a shout to Him in song.
For YHWH is a great Ěl, And a great King above all mighty ones.
