Lily Portion for Today
Mothers, prayer is not a fruitless effort to try and change the will of Elohiym; it is a childlike desire to get to know YHVH’s will and to obey it. (Prayer: Thank You Abba, that we need only follow in true obedience wherever you lead us. Guide my family every step. Amein.)
It's that time of year again, folks! Where those of us who don't blindly follow the rituals everybody else does get called legalistic, LOL! Keep the trees outside and alive! Save the trees!

There is a temptation for people to confuse 'nature' (the wilderness) with nature music videos - which they watch wistfully on polished screens. If they actually set foot in the wilderness, there's a likelihood they would set their foot in dung.
Let's say you take a thousand pictures of the wilderness, just looking any which way; then pick out all the nice shots: the flower, the sunset, the silhouetted tree - and get rid of them. You've already seen those. All the 99.99% of the pictures - random shots into twigs and weeds and mud and dust - are equally wilderness, and 99.99% percent of it. No rule of thirds, no golden rectangle, no balanced or framed shots - the selection and composing of these is indeed man-made art, and what is man-made is not wilderness any more than a skyscraper.
Skyscrapers are a part of nature - the natural world, God's creation - as much as any ragged bird's nest. The fake idea of the wilderness being pristine and pretty has been used to fuel an arrogance of man-made prettiness and tidiness, and at the same time despising of things man-made as being not of God's creation.
Prettiness is not wrong - blanket despising of man-made things is wrong. And arrogance, whether on behalf of neatness and prettiness or any other reason, is deadly wrong. Neatness and polish are a gift of God - which, like wealth, must be rigorously kept in its place, because it is beset with temptations to evil against God.
Can God trust you with this gift?

I have heard women decide that physical attraction was more important to them than the bible and salvation in yeshua in a man's life. They got with the man they were most physically attracted to, instead of the law man of yah, and then complained about the man they got with and asked them for a divorce after infidelity/cheating and abuse... So you put cards on the table saying: wealthy, success, fame, attractive, strong, etc, and salvation+ the bible. The woman I have seen chose the others and not the salvation bible card. They thought they could fix the man who had the worldly qualities. Men have made the same choice.
How we worship and who we worship matters. I know this is an eye-roll topic for many, but understand worship comes from 1 of 3 places: God, man, or Satan. Where do your worship practices come from?

"I know your works - see, I have set before you an open door, and no one is able to shut it - that you gave little power, yet you guarded My Word, and have not denied My Name. See, I am giving up those of the congregation of HaSatan, who say they are Yehudim and are not, but lie. See, I am making them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you guarded My Word of endurance, I also shall guard you from the hour of trial which shall come upon all the world, to try those who dwell on the earth. See, I am coming speedily! Hold what you have that no one take your crown.
