Thought for Today: Monday July 22

You can wait for YHVH because He is faithful, merciful and powerful. He always welcomes you into His presence. Even though you may admit to some reluctance, He nevertheless awaits those few precious moments when you lift your face and heart to Him.

Here is a Messianic Bible translation I hope to someday get when a large print becomes available. It is called the New Jeruslem Version (not to be confused with the New Jersulem Bible). It is a literal word for word translation based on the ASV.

Although they are not promoters of Sacred Name, it can be used as a Sacred Name bible because God's name is written in Hebrew, giving the reader the choice of pronunciation. The Messiah's name is written as Yeshua.

Here is the link to a book review:

Question: Is it possible to work as a server without sinning (because most restaurants sell meals that have unclean/unkosher meat)?

As it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
Romans 9:33 ESV

This quote is an amalgam of Isaiah 8:14 and 28:16. The Apostles frequently paraphrased Scripture or mixed and matched passages to make a point. We often condemn today’s preachers for being so apparently cavalier with the Scriptures, but whether they are right or wrong depends heavily on context and intent.

Making Torah (aka the Law) the object of our lives leads inevitably to failure. We ought never to keep God's Law for the sake of the Law itself nor for the sake of the veneer of righteousness that it provides, but for the sake of the Lawgiver who gave us His Torah out of love for us and a desire to see us succeed as children of God and citizens of His Kingdom.

Torah is a blessing and a guide to those who keep it out of love for our Creator and Redeemer. It is a curse and an obstacle to those who attempt to keep it pridefully.
