Scripture - Psalms 30:11-12
You turned my lament into dancing;
You removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12 so that I can sing to You and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise You forever.

Observation - Unlike the popular prosperity teachers who would like you to think that all you have to do is come to Yeshua (Jesus) and life will be wonderful, we see truth in this passage. There will be times of mourning or lamenting (to feel or express sorrow or regret for). In reality brothers and sisters, bad things do happen to the people of Yahweh. People get sick, people die, go through financial difficulties, etc. There are even those who give their lives because of their faith. 

But one thing is for certain, the Lord gives us his gladness in every situation. Always remember that whatever you are going through is a temporary condition. The trial will pass. Only He knows the length of the time of the trials we endure. If the Lord is in charge of your life, you can trust Him. And when the circumstances subside, YOU WILL DANCE AGAIN! Halleluyah!

Application - If you are in a time of trial, realize that in Yahweh everything has a beginning and an end. Praise Him. Even if it seems impossible - lift your hands, raise your voice, and sing to your King! Keep your eyes on Him. He won't let you down. Keep on trusting Him even though it is hard. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and comfort you. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Prayer - Thank you Father for every situation that you have allowed in my life. Even though to my natural eyes they were painful, I know that you have used them to  cause me to grow to new levels of spiritual maturity. I pray that my brothers and sisters who read this will know that you love them so very much. Heal the broken spirits and bodies. Bring your rest for weary souls. Cause us to sing your praises and dance in your wonderful light. In Yeshua's name. Amen.

Scripture John 8 - 3Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, making her stand in the center. 4 “Teacher,” they said to Him, “this woman was caught in the act of committing adultery. 5 In the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do You say?” 6 They asked this to trap Him, in order that they might have evidence to accuse Him.

Jesus stooped down and started writing on the ground with His finger. 7 When they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, “The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her.”

8 Then He stooped down again and continued writing on the ground. 9 When they heard this, they left one by one, starting with the older men. Only He was left, with the woman in the center. 10 When Jesus stood up, He said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

11 “No one, Lord,”[a] she answered.

“Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus. “Go, and from now on do not sin 

anymore."

Observation - As humans, we find it very easy to point our finger at someone else's flawed life. This we do mostly to take the focus off our inadequacies. We see this in education each day as we deal with children. No one wants their sins or flaws exposed. And yet  whatever Yeshua wrote on the ground with his finger was enough for the men to turn in shame and exit the very presence of the Son of God. The woman was the only one left on the scene. And even so, Yeshua didn't leave her totally off the hook for her sins.

He called her to come up higher out of her lifestyle. She was an adulteress to the core. But he didn't just tell her to say the sinner's prayer and be on her way. Yeshua calls her to "Go, and from now on do not sin anymore." This is very key to the days that we are living in. We know that Yeshua died for us so that we might live. But this is not an license to sin. 

Application - I must not point my finger at anyone else's sins and shortcomings. That is not my job in this life. People have come from different backgrounds and it will take the touch of a loving, gracious, God to draw them out of their pits. In my life, it is imperative that I live a life that is pleasing to Him with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. If I don't know how, he has given me his manual, the Bible. It is my duty as a believer to seek Him and ask his Holy Spirit to illuminate His path for my life. Also, it is important to pray for others who are entangled in various sins.

Prayer - Father, I pray that you will lead me through this life by Your Word and your Holy Spirit. Thank you for Yeshua and the grace that was bestowed on me - a dirty sinner. I will be ever grateful for your love. Please help me to lead a life that is worthy of the gift of your son, Yeshua. Amen.

I went to Bible study tonight and we are using the SOAP format. Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. Here is what the Holy Spirit deposited as I read. I pray that it will minister to someone.

Scripture - I John 2:3-5 The way we can be sure we know him is if we are obeying his commands. 4 Anyone who says, “I know him,” but isn’t obeying his commands is a liar — the truth is not in him. 5 But if someone keeps doing what he says, then truly love for God has been brought to its goal in him. This is how we are sure that we are united with him.

Observation - We live in a society that doesn't like to follow rules. The commandments that were given provide a fence of protection for those who will choose to live inside the fence. The letter of the law (if followed without the Holy Spirit living inside a person) kills. But, if we will listen to the still small voice of the Spirit of the Living God, we know we should follow His rules and live life His way.


Application - My life is not my own. If I choose to live in his protection, I must apply His instructions to my daily situations. He never changes. Yeshua paid the price for my salvation. I have a choice to accept or reject his gift. If I accept him, I still have many choices to make each day.  Choosing to do life under the umbrella of his instructions is essential to my shalom (nothing missing, nothing broken).

Prayer - Father, thank you for giving me life in Yeshua. I ask you to help us to remember that it would have been enough to be saved. But, after accepting the gift of salvation, there is a life to live within his fence.


Blessings to all who hear his voice.
