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:

LOVE; YESHUA`S NEW COMMANDMENT

 *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*

When we become obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we will realize that the Law of the Old Covenant is Elementary.  Do you go back and learn your A, B, Cs now that you are an adult?  No, you learned the rules of reading your language when you went to first grade or before.  It would bog you down if you were told; now before you read this newspaper, you must learn your A, B, Cs again.  We would say that is foolishness!  Yet so many in the body of Messiah today are teaching this exact thing spiritually.  
We are to grow up in the Lord.  A baby drinks milk because their body cannot digest solid food the first couple months of life.  But if the baby does not get enough food, even at 3 months old, they will not sleep through the night, because of hunger.  They start needing some solid food to satiate them very early.  Spiritually we are the same way.  We need that deep Holy Spirit`s revelation in our lives.  It will cause us to want more of Yeshua and to fall in love with Yeshua like never before.  Yeshua gave the people what they needed, NOT what they wanted to hear.  He gave them unparalleled love and grace at every turn.
Yeshua said, "a new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. John 13:34
See, if you truly love others the way you are loved by the heavenly Father; you will go above and beyond fulfilling the Law.   You will follow the new commandment.  In Hebrews it speaks of a New and BETTER covenant. In Jeremiah it speaks of this New Covenant being written on our hearts.  The Law CANNOT cause you to love, it only tells you what you are NOT to do.  The Love of the Holy Spirit is the only thing that can make you truly Love your neighbor and others.  We can say we love the Lord with ALL our heart, but, the evidence is in the way we act towards others.  It`s not about our Love, but about His Love toward us.  Then, because  of His Love toward us, THEN we will love.  Yeshua made it so simple!  When we love the way Yeshua loved, the world will want what we have.  They do not care right now because they do not see that love.  They see law and they already have law in the world they live in, every day of their life. 

Lord, today I ask that I would love others the way that you love me.  I ask that I see those around me through your loving eyes.
I ask that I would hear your voice and become obedient to your promptings in my heart.

TRUST OUR HEAVENLY FATHER

*Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*
At this time in my life, I have to say that I have had to cling to the Lord,  when I have no understanding of what is going on.  But one thing I know, I must trust that the God who gave me life will bring to fruition the PROMISES that He has promised.  His Word is true and He does not lie to us.  He IS faithful, He promised.  
In Isaiah He says to us; 

41:10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you!

Don’t be frightened, for I am your God! 

I strengthen you –

yes, I help you –

yes, I uphold you with my saving right hand! 

 What is it in your life that you do NOT understand?  Do you blame God?  Or do you trust that some things are not for us to understand-or we would be god.  This is part of the trust relationship with our heavenly Father.  Like a parent to a child, it is not always evident to the child why a parent has made a decision.  The parent has made a good decision but the child does not see it.  The child can trust the parent and submit to the decision made or they can get angry at the parent.  The Lord is our shepherd and He wants to lead us and many times He will carry us in His arms.  In Isaiah it says;
 40:11 Like a shepherd he tends his flock;

he gathers up the lambs with his arm;

he carries them close to his heart; 

he leads the ewes along.
  
So today, trust the one who made you, who formed you in your Mother`s womb.  He will not grow weary or tired of you talking to Him, ever. He has a plan and a purpose for your life.  Trust Him and He will complete what He has started in you.  His wisdom far outshines yours and mine.  He is so gracious and merciful and filled with compassion toward us.  Trust Him today.
