Rest and a hard heart

O.K. I am physically tired. Age is adding up. But, I am not spiritually tired with fighting against the L-Rd, - no peace with G-d makes for no rest with G-d. Hebrews 3:7-11 explains the lack of rest and peace that comes from a hard heart. "Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living G-d."

Heart of unbelief will keep us from the kingdom of G-d. Heart of unbelief will make us turn from the truth to believe a lie. Heart of unbelief will leave us without the promises, without rest, without peace. I pray this is not the position of anyone reading this blog.

To much of a good thing and storms

After having interacted with grandchildren for a week I have found myself to be overly tired. Because of needing a good nights rest this post will be abbreviated.

Noticing many tornadoes and floods in the United States I want to offer this for thought. Nahum 1:3 "The L-RD is slow to anger, and great in power and will not at all acquit the wicked: the L-RD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet."

G-d is slow to anger so when He brings the storms it is a serious matter. He has become angry. The United States is getting beaten by storms, tornado after tornado, flood after flood, and now heat waves and fires. Sometimes I wonder what will be left of this country. We don't seem to take notice our natural resources, to include the ability to produce crops to feed ourselves and others, is being taken from us pieces at a time. Our sins are open before everyone. Especially the sin of mistreating Israel. Think about it.

Home Again

Well, today is April 1 but this post is not an April fools joke. It is time to start posting again. It was a blessing to be able to see family and take care of business. There was a lot of burden taken off my shoulders and I am thankful for that. Besides business and getting sick I was able to see my daughter, son in law, grandchildren, and my oldest brother. It was refreshing and restful to see everybody and to have fellowship with old friends that are there for me Over 3400 miles was put on the car in 10 days. Glad I don't do that all the time. Arriving home in time for Purim, all the family here got together for a cook out. It was very enjoyable to have so many here. One family was sick and was missed by all. Having 5 children, 5 children-in-law, and 15 grandchildren make for a lot of enjoyment and I love everyone of them. Hope everyone had a fun Purim. One day all Hamans will be defeated and G-d's kingdom will be set up. It breaks my heart for all that will not be there and cry with thanksgiving that a way was made for me to be able to sit in the kingdom with the Messiah. I am very thankful for the Jewish people being used of G-d to bring the world the scriptures and The Messiah. Praise The L-RD!

Twelve Tribes

Can you name the twelve sons of Jacob ?

Each tribe begins with one of these letters . R S L J Z I D G A N J B
answer found in Genesis 49

One son's family became the priestly line and did not obtain an inheritance with Israel. One son did not become a tribe but had two sons become two separate tribes in Israel thereby obtaining a double portion and maintaining twelve tribes total.

What is ...

What is ...your favorite book in the Bible and why? I have more than one because of what they tell me about my Redeemer and His love and mercy and graciousness for me. A common person with no standing . Because G-d is not a respector of persons and we were created for His pleasure He has delight in me. Isn't that something?

Traveling

I have been travelling for 11 days and just returned. I love taking trips when I have the opportunity. Someday I will be taking the trip to the kingdom. I am looking forward to it. Hope you all are enjoying life and the goodness of the Lord.
