“Then the Lord spoke to Moses
saying ‘Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest has turned
away My wrath from the sons of Israel in that he was jealous with My jealousy among
them, so that I did not destroy
[consume] the sons of Israel in My jealousy
“’Therefore say, ‘Behold I give
him My covenant of peace and it shall be for him and his descendants after him,
a covenant of a perpetual priesthood because he was jealous for his God and made
atonement for the sons of Israel.’” Numbers 25:11
Think about being ‘jealous with His
jealousy’. When the world around is working
to destroy the ‘reputation’ of Almighty God with their own ideas of how things
should be, we can stay silent or we can burn with the jealousy of God for His Word
and His ways.
The world is listening for the
voice of His people in a world going mad with confusion and fear of the
unknown. We must not stay silent for fear of recriminations or worse. We must know that His plan for us may include
taking a stand publicly for what His Word tells us, just like Phinehas did in
defying the ways of the world and an evil king.
Take care with love, especially
His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
who still prays for you each morning.

Doris
(my second Mom) - now
100 – is sleeping more now and growing harder than before to awaken. Pray for Patti, her daughter, as she remains
so faithful in sacrificing time and making the effort to always demonstrate God’s
love to her precious mother. Doris (and
her husband, Owen, now waiting in Heaven for her) both prayed faithfully to
bring me to the foot of the Cross.

Please pray for his ongoing resilience and that the Lord would allow him

the Truth to touch him where it hurts.
Pray for my wisdom and patience as he continues to stay here.
