Shabbat Shalom! The Sparrows greet you


 in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from bondage to decay into the glorious freedom of the children of God.  Romans 8:20~21

 

The branches of the cherry tree are coming nearer to where my husband and I sit in the morning on the bench in the park and have coffee and feed the sparrows. 

 Today I noticed they were so close and seemed to be in such peace! Then I noticed they were speaking to one another!

 `Shabbat Shalom beloved`! one said to the others and I send their greeting to you!

I love how when we come closer to the LORD He draws nearer to us! Literally too as He is spreading over all a canopy of Peace! Come to Him and He will give us rest! He created the Shabbat for man and so I pray you will enter into this appointed time that He has given for us. 

In Yeshua`s name I pray.

Here is a song of thanks  to Him and share with you

Give thanks to the LORD for He is good.

His Lovingkindness endures forever!  Psalm 136

 Sing it with me as we welcome the Shabbat together from where you are!!  Like the sparrows we too sing!

Love,

❤️

Shayndel!

Today`s Shabbat~ It`s all about Shalom!


Let the Shalom of Messiah rule in your hearts -- to this shalom you were surely called in one body.  Also be thankful.    Colossians 3:15

Shabbat Shalom friends.

Shalom.  Yes, that is the word for today! We read in this week`s Torah portion about Phineas, the grandson of the High Priest Aaron, who took matters in his own hands upon encountering an Israelite prince having sexual relations with a Midianite princess in front of the Tent of Meeting.  He took a spear and ran it right through both people together and killed them. 

This was a zealous act by Phineas who saw that things were going too far and the people were practicing blatant idolatry and abomination againt God and His Torah.  After his act of violence, the plague that was set upon the people was stopped although already 24000 had died.

After this Phineas was given a B`rit Shalom by God, a Covenant of Peace and everlasting priesthood.  Although it was a violent act, and not something that we are to follow, it was pleasing to the LORD as he was acting in accordance with God`s heart for His people.

We read this and are reminded as the people of God to be zealous for the things of God and for the word of God.  Being careful not to be zealous for our own motives, but to be in alignment with God`s heart.

May the shalom that is beyond all understanding be with you and your family in Messiah Yeshua! 

 Love ,
