Psalms 22


2. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? [You are] far from my salvation [and] from the words of my moaning. ב. אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי:
3. My God, I call out by day and You do not reply, and at night I do not keep silent. ג. אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְלֹא דוּמִיָּה לִי:

7. But I am a worm and not a man; a reproach of man, despised by peoples. ז. וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָם:
8. All who see me will mock me; they will open their lips, they will shake their head. ח. כָּל רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹאשׁ:
9. One should cast his trust upon the Lord, and He will rescue him; He will save him because He delights in him. ט. גֹּל אֶל יְהֹוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵץ בּוֹ:
10. For You drew me from the womb; You made me secure on my mother's breasts. י. כִּי אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל שְׁדֵי אִמִּי:
11. Upon You, I was cast from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God. יא. עָלֶיךָ הָשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָתָּה:
12. Do not distance Yourself from me, for distress is near; for there is none to help. יב. אַל תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי צָרָה קְרוֹבָה כִּי אֵין עוֹזֵר:
13. Great bulls have surrounded me; the mighty ones of Bashan encompassed me. יג. סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרוּנִי:
14. They opened their mouth against me [like] a tearing, roaring lion. יד. פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵג:
15. I was spilled like water, and all my bones were separated; my heart was like wax, melting within my innards. טו. כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּרְדוּ כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדּוֹנָג נָמֵס בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָי:
16. My strength became dried out like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my palate; and You set me down in the dust of death. טז. יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ | כֹּחִי וּלְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי וְלַעֲפַר מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵנִי:
17. For dogs have surrounded me; a band of evildoers has encompassed me, like a lion, my hands and feet. יז. כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָי:
18. I tell about all my bones. They look and gloat over me. יח. אֲסַפֵּר כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ בִי:
19. They share my garments among themselves and cast lots for my raiment. יט. יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל:
20. But You, O Lord, do not distance Yourself; my strength, hasten to my assistance. כ. וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אַל תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה:
23. I will tell Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You. כג. אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶךָּ:
24. You who fear the Lord, praise Him; all the seed of Jacob, honor Him, and fear Him, all the seed of Israel. כד. יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה | הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנוּ כָּל זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל:

Pierced Ears-Surrendered Just because You Love the Master

A piercing is opening something physically , or creating a hole in your body.  People have always done this through history.  In Exodus God speaks of a slave that loved their Master, wife and family, and did NOT want to be set free.  A Master who possibly treated them well, respecting them.  The servant would get a piercing from the Master at the doorpost of the Master`s house.
Here is the verse;
Exodus 21:6
5 But if the servant plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ 6 then his master shall bring him to the judges. He shall also bring him to the door, or to the doorpost, and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him forever. (In Hebrew-pierce=ratsa`=to bore or open a hole)
Now spiritually, there is also a piercing.  In Psalms 40 David speaks of first, God opening his ears so he could hear Holy Spirit.  Then second, David speaks of the Messiah whose ear is opened (surrendered to Father God), coming to do what was written in the scroll of Him(the prophecy of the Messiah).  Yeshua had to surrender to the Father to pay the price for his Bride.  It costs Yeshua something, it costs Yeshua`s life.  He was the sacrifice.  Just as it costs every animal that ever died in sacrifice making atonement for sin.  It costs the animal`s life.  The Father wanted one sacrifice to be sufficient for all times.  That`s why He sent His only Son Yeshua to pay the price in FULL for ALL, for all Times.  Thus making Yeshua the greatest servant of ALL. 
Now on the Menorah, the higher light is called the Shamesh, or servant that lights the other candles.  This is very important, the Messiah was to be the Greatest Servant of All, yet is the ONE who is the Light of the World, the ONE who lights our light and makes us to shine.   He was a servant for life because He loved us and paid the surrender-Bride-Family-price of Exodus 21.
Here is the verse;  Psalms 40
6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
         My ears You have opened. (in Hebrew-Open=Karah=to pierce)
         Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
 7 Then I said, “Behold, I come;
         In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
 8 I delight(surrender) to do Your will, O my God,
         And Your law is within my heart.”
Again Isaiah speaks of another example of the greatest servant of All.  Not only does the Lord awaken us and speak to us.  But again this speaks of the surrender of the Messiah who would be beaten, His beard pulled out, mocked and spit upon, for US.  He is the GREATEST SERVANT OF ALL.
Here are Isaiah`s words;
Isaiah 50
He wakens me morning by morning,
   wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.
5 The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears; (in Hebrew opened=pathach=to engrave or throw open a doorway)  I have not been rebellious,
   I have not turned away.
6 I offered my back to those who beat me,
   my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;
I did not hide my face
   from mocking and spitting.
7 Because the Sovereign LORD helps me,
   I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint, (in surrender),
   and I know I will not be put to shame.
8 He who vindicates me is near.
   Who then will bring charges against me?

In the book to the Hebrews this is again repeated.
Here it is; Hebrews 10
4Because the blood of bulls and goats is powerless to take sins away.
    5Hence, when He [Christ] entered into the world, He said, Sacrifices and offerings You have not desired, but instead You have made ready a body for Me [to offer];
    6In burnt offerings and sin offerings You have taken no delight.
    7Then I said, Behold, here I am, coming to do Your will, O God--[to fulfill] what is written of Me in the volume of the Book.
16This is the agreement (testament, covenant) that I will set up and conclude with them after those days, says the Lord: I will imprint My laws upon their hearts, and I will inscribe them on their minds (on their inmost thoughts and understanding),
    17He then goes on to say, And their sins and their lawbreaking I will remember no more.
    18Now where there is absolute remission (forgiveness and cancellation of the penalty) of these [sins and lawbreaking], there is no longer any offering made to atone for sin.
    19Therefore, brethren, since we have full freedom and confidence to enter into the [Holy of] Holies [by the power and virtue] in the blood of Yeshua,
    20By this fresh (new) and living way which He initiated and dedicated and opened for us through the separating curtain (veil of the Holy of Holies), that is, through His flesh,
    21And since we have [such] a great and wonderful and noble Priest [Who rules] over the house of God,
    Dear friends, Yeshua is Salvation.  Yeshua surrendered His body as a sacrifice in the place of the animals to atone(cover over) our sin(missing the mark).  The perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the whole world.  He is also the Doorway that we will walk through to get to eternal life.  Today, have you walked in your journey through the DOORWAY to eternal LIFE? It is Yeshua, he is Salvation, and he is Messiah of the world.  Every nation, culture, language and tongue are precious in His sight!
You my friend are precious in His sight, and you are engraved upon the palms of His hands.
