Thought for Today: Tuesday July 30
There is no more significant involvement in another's life than prevailing, consistent prayer. It is more helpful than a gift of money, more encouraging than a strong sermon, more effective than a compliment, more reassuring than a physical embrace. Let us make it a habit to pray with and for each other without cease.
Michael Rood
On this occasion, Yeshua teaches His disciples (in Luke 11:2-4) the correct way we should pray:
'Our Father in heaven...' – To whom do we address our prayer? To the Father.
'Hallowed be your name...' – How do we address Him? With respect and reverence.
'Your kingdom come...' – We acknowledge His lordship.
'Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven...' – His will comes before ours.
'Give us this day our daily bread...' – We ask for our daily manna, without worrying about what will happen tomorrow.
'And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us...' – We ask for mercy just as we have mercy on those who have wronged us.
'And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil...' – That we may walk as a people set apart for Him.
It is interesting that James (Jacob) makes an exhortation to the 'twelve tribes' in the dispersion regarding the way they prayed (in their prayers):
'You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss...' (James 4:3).
Let us follow the example taught by the ultimate teacher, Yeshua, and see how our lives take a positive turn!

47 R’eih – Day 3
D’varym/Deuteronomy 12:29-13:18
“When YHWH your Elohim does cut off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, guard yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire about their mighty ones, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their mighty ones?
And let me do so too.’
“Do not do so to YHWH your Elohim, for every abomination which YHWH hates they have done to their mighty ones, for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their mighty ones.
“All the words I am commanding you, guard to do it – do not add to it nor take away from it.
“When there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he shall give you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder shall come true, of which he has spoken to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other mighty ones – which you have not known – and serve them,’ do not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for YHWH your Elohim is trying you to know whether you love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being.
“Walk after YHWH your Elohim and fear Him, and guard His commands and obey His voice, and serve Him and cling to Him.
“And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is put to death, because he has spoken apostasy against YHWH your Elohim – who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim and ransomed you from the house of bondage – to make you stray from the way in which YHWH your Elohim commanded you to walk.
Thus you shall purge the evil from your midst.
“When your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own being, entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other mighty ones’ – which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers, of the mighty ones of the people which are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth – do not agree with him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pardon him, nor spare him or conceal him, but you shall certainly kill him.
Your hand is first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people, and you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from YHWH your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage.
“And let all Yisra’el hear and fear, and not again do any such evil matter as this in your midst.
“When you hear someone in one of your cities, which YHWH your Elohim gives you to dwell in, saying, Some men, sons of Beliya’al, have gone out of your midst and led the inhabitants of their city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other mighty ones”‘ – mighty ones whom you have not known – then you shall inquire, search out, and ask diligently.
And see if the matter is true and established that this abomination was done in your midst, you shall certainly strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, putting it under the ban, and all that is in it and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
“And gather all its plunder into the middle of the street, and completely burn with fire the city and all its plunder, before YHWH your Elohim.
And it shall be a heap forever, never to be built again.
“And none of that which is put under the ban is to cling to your hand, so that YHWH turns from the fierceness of His displeasure and shall show you compassion, love you and increase you, as He swore to your fathers, when you obey the voice of YHWH your Elohim, to guard all His commands which I command you today, to do what is right in the eyes of YHWH your Elohim.

TEHILLAH/PSALMS 82 – DAY 3 (YOM SHLISHY)
Elohim stands in the congregation of Ěl; He judges in the midst of the elohim.
How long would you judge perversely, And show partiality to the wrong?
Selah.
Give judgment to the poor and fatherless, Do right to the afflicted and needy.
Rescue the poor and needy; Deliver them from the hand of the wrong.
They do not know, nor do they understand, They walk about in darkness.
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
I, I said, “You are elohim, And all of you are sons of the Most High.
“But as men you die, And fall as one of the heads.”
Arise, O Elohim, judge the earth, For You shall possess all the nations.
