I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:2-4 (NIV)

Have you ever struggled with afflicting fear of failure, fear of the future, fear of abandonment or rejection? No matter how much we try to minimize or ignore it, sometimes life difficulties can cast us into the agonizing grip of our deepest fears with seemingly no hope of finding any way out. With great joy, this Psalmist instructs us to seek or call upon the Lord; declaring that God answered him and rescued him from ALL his fears. The afflicted are invited to join the celebration of worship and to glorify the Lord with the good news that God will also answer our cry for freedom from all our fears. In 1 John 4:18 we learn that the perfect love of Jesus casts out all fear. May you know the healing, restoring power of the love of Jesus that will also free you from every fear. Selah—ponder and focus on that!

Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. Isaiah 60:1-2 NKJV

Is there anything more beautiful than the dawning rays of sunlight breaking into a new day over majestic mountains, upon rolling ocean waves or watching from the serenity of your own back porch? But, what does the glory of the Lord rising upon us mean? The glory of the Lord in this scripture seems to mean the promise of His loving presence that drives away loneliness, the comfort of His peace that passes understanding, blessings of mercy that triumph over judgement, and the goodness of His enabling grace bestowed upon us. There are times we all need the restoring hope of light to drive out the darkness of fearful times and the unexpected circumstances afflicting our souls. What an encouraging gift we have in the promise of these scriptures that even in the darkest times our loving God promises the arising light upon us with His glorious presence, comfort and sufficient grace for each day. Thank You, Lord!

Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. Isaiah 46:9 (NIV)

Have you heard the saying,”You can’t know where you are going unless you know where you came from?” God instructs us in this scripture of the importance to remember the former things; twice declaring that He alone is God and there is none like Him! It is helpful to recall the stories of faith from those that have gone before us, overcoming great trials, handicaps, poverty and wars. In the midst of our current needs and busyness, have we forgotten the answered prayers and miracles we’ve experienced or learned about in the past that can inspire our faith to trust God for our needs today? Let us remember there is no other God whose very nature is love, extends mercy, offers peace, forgives sin, heals diseases, saves the lost, wipes away all our tears and knows the number of hairs on our heads! He is the King of kings, Lord of lords, Commander of the Angel Armies and yet, is also our loving Heavenly Father. There is no other God like our God! Amen!

Kindness

Lately I have seen the phrase “be kind,” everywhere. To the point that I just had to post about it.

Kindness- the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate.

Be kind to your fellow man and speak the Truth in Love.

John 14:6 CJB 6 Yeshua said, “I AM the Way — and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. Philippians 4:19-20 (NKJV)

Do you have difficulty believing that God really cares about any of the pressing needs you are currently facing? First of all, this verse profoundly declares that our God supplies ALL our need! But, if we are to understand that the doorway of His provision is in the glory of Jesus we may need to ask what is the glory? Biblically this often refers to the manifestation or the reality of God’s presence with us. Remember, one of the names of Jesus is Emanuel which means God with us. Therefore, there is a wealth of God’s provision for us as we grasp that Jesus is with us; our Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, Friend of Sinners and our Savior. He is real, present and available to us in every circumstance today and everyday to meet ALL our needs. With renewed faith in His love for us, let us give worship, praise and glory to our Father God forever and ever. Yes, Amen!

Introducing In His Image Art by Tia Fearington

Greetings everyone!! I’m excited to introduce you all to In His Image Art by Tia Fearington.

From the moment that I met Tia it was evident that she exudes the Joy of Adonai (The LORD)! Her art touches my heart and I know it will yours too. So watch as she and I work together producing Scripture Art truly In His Image and for His Glory!!

Tia’s Bio: My name is Shantia but everyone calls me Tia. I have always been fascinated with Art and Creative Arts since I was in kindergarten. So much so that I entered into the schools yearly Art contest, and they would choose first, second and third place for each grade to have their art displayed at Bob Timberlake’s Gallery.

Art has always held a special place in my heart because much like our walks with God , He takes small, mundane, things and turns them into masterpiece for His Glory. Things that in themselves don’t have much or have little worth, He takes His hands and creates works of Art that capture people’s hearts and help them to see their need for Him.

Scripture for the week of August 20, 2023
By JoBeth Kested

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You! Psalm 84:11-12 (NKJV)

Have you ever wondered how to know the goodness of the Lord? This scripture declares that God will be our sunshine that dispels any encroaching darkness in our lives. And, He wants to be our shield for protection. He is also extending to us His grace for unmerited favor along with His glory to honor us when we choose to walk uprightly. But, what does it mean to walk uprightly? It means we have learned to not trust in our own strength, money, power or positions; but, that we choose to bring our sorrows, fears, insecurities and failures to Him as we walk the walk before us each and every day. Our God is the Commander of all the Angel Armies of Heaven! He is Almighty God and all powerful to bestow great blessings upon us as we put all our trust in Him today. Thank You, Lord!

Adonai will level your path – Psalm 27

Psalm 27 is read daily during the Month of Elul. I give YHWH all praise, honor and glory in Yeshua’s Name because recently He spoke to me in a dream/vision.

Something was weighing me down. A conflict with people. (conflicts don’t sit well with me). My goal is to walk in Abba’s Shalom 24/7 365 days per year. I am not perfect but I do realize that conflict can prevent me from giving!

In my dream/vision Yeshua came into my room. I told him that I wanted to repent for anything in the situation that I had done wrong, but I could not see the thing that I needed to repent for. I apologized for struggling and asked Him what He wanted me to do. He said to me, “ you have nothing to repent for. Others have made you feel that you did wrong, but you stepped back and did exactly what I instructed you to do in each situation.”

I cried and said Blessings, honor and praise unto YHWH in your Name Yeshua. He said well done Beth and because you did this, I will now do this.

The room changed into a path with giant boulders. Boulders that I could not get around or over. I saw Him reach down from heaven, His hand looked so large and as if picking up a grain of sand, He moved the giant boulders from my path. Then He patted down every bit of dirt and said, I have leveled your path.”

I cried out Thank You Adonai so much. He said,”Now move forward.” Obediently, I stepped on the level path. I told Him thank You and I Love You. He smiled.


During the Month of Elul, Psalm 27 is read everyday. I know that the significance of Yeshua removing boulders from the path is time specific, my dream/vision is specific. Time specific. Believe me when I say that there is more to the Hebraic calendar and our path than we can comprehend yet. He is releasing this revelation and understanding to those who desire to dive deeper.

Psalm 27:11-12 11 Teach me your way, Adonai; lead me on a level path because of my enemies —
12 don’t give me up to the whims of my foes; for false witnesses have risen against me, also those who are  violence.

Adonai, teach us Your way. Lead us on Your level path because of our enemies. Don’t give us up to the whims if our foes! For false witness have risen against us, also those who are breathing violence.

We believe that we will see Your goodness in the land of the living … we declare and decree that we put our hope in you Adonai! We are strong and we take courage! Yes we put our hope in You Adonai! Amen

Psalm 27 CJB

27 (0) By David:

(1) Adonai is my light and salvation;
whom do I need to fear?
Adonai is the stronghold of my life;
of whom should I be afraid?
When evildoers assailed me
to devour my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
they stumbled and fell.
If an army encamps against me,
my heart will not fear;
if war breaks out against me,
even then I will keep trusting.

Just one thing have I asked of Adonai;
only this will I seek:
to live in the house of Adonai
all the days of my life,
to see the beauty of Adonai
and visit in his temple.
For he will conceal me in his shelter
on the day of trouble,
he will hide me in the folds of his tent,
he will set me high on a rock.
Then my head will be lifted up
above my surrounding foes,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing, sing praises to Adonai.

7 Listen, Adonai, to my voice when I cry;
show favor to me; and answer me.
8 “My heart said of you, ‘Seek my face.’”
Your face, Adonai, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
don’t turn your servant away in anger.
You are my help; don’t abandon me;
don’t leave me, God my savior.
10 Even though my father and mother have left me,
Adonai will care for me.
11 Teach me your way, Adonai;
lead me on a level path
because of my enemies —
12 don’t give me up to the whims of my foes;
for false witnesses have risen against me,
also those who are breathing violence.

13 If I hadn’t believed that I would see
Adonai’s goodness in the land of the living, . . .
14 Put your hope in Adonai, be strong,
and let your heart take courage!
Yes, put your hope in Adonai!


Read Psalm 27 during the Month of Elul. The dream/vision that I had was such a prophetic picture of what He is doing at this moment in time. Remember that He didn’t just leave us out here to figure everything out by ourselves. He literally gave us everything that we need for the abundant life that He was born, lived a sinless life, died and rose again for us to have. He gives us our daily bread as we ask for it. He is leveling my path and He is leveling your path. Step on His level path. Take a step as a prophetic act and have faith for the next step. Have Faith!

I speak the Name of Yeshua over you! I speak Life – His Abundant Life over you!
