Thought for Today: Monday September 15
When we face decisions, we need to remember that YHVH hasn’t left us in the dark, nor is He uninterested. Elohiym loves us, and He wants what is best for us. He has a perfect path in life for us, and He wants us to choose it instead of the wrong paths satan would tempt us to follow… He also gives us wisdom to understand our situation, and He gives us the Holy Spirit to guide us. Never make a decision without committing it to YHVH and seeking His will. He promises to guide you and He will.

Romans 16:25 ESV
When Paul says, “according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret”, he doesn’t mean that God was deliberately hiding it from everyone, and Paul was the first to reveal it. He means that men’s minds were clouded by their idolatry and selfishness so that they blinded themselves to the truths that God passed down through the Patriarchs, delivered through the Prophets, and implanted into all of Creation.
