JOY

In Hebrew the word Joy means the Justice of YHVH.

True Joy comes through YHVH’s Justice.

Embrace this in every situation in your life.

We do this by submitting unto YHVH in Yeshua’s Name.

  • 7 Therefore submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. James 4:7-10 TLV

May the JOY of YHVH be evident in your life. In Yeshua’s Name

Most importantly know that Yeshua Is the ultimate Justice of YHVH.

Scripture for the week of November 30, 2025
By JoBeth Kested

But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” Lamentations 3:20-24 (ESV)

Do you ever struggle to find your faith to trust God in the midst of overwhelming problems; especially when you feel like His lack of help is a big part of the problem. The scriptures before these verses, by the Prophet Jeremiah, describe in great detail his sufferings and that he feels like God caused it all. He is not afraid to talk to God about his hurts and difficulties. Then he reminds himself of God’s love, mercies and faithfulness; how amazing that even though the circumstances have not changed, Jeremiah is able to declare with renewed hope that the Lord is all he needs. Take your list of problems to God today and may you be encouraged with new hope remembering The Lord’s unshakeable love, unending mercies and great faithfulness to you always.

Thanksgiving Day Blessings

Giving Thanks is our privilege, however, only when we choose to make Thanksgiving our priority, then our breakthrough comes.

Thanksgiving is a three part word in Hebrew and in YHVH’s Kingdom, understanding the root of where Kingdom words open up Kingdom principles so that we can move forward.

Today, the day that the USA celebrates Thanksgiving. We must go to the root of the matter. We are Kingdom people and we are Thankful to YHVH for all that we have. Even the hard things that we have to walk through. The Apostle Paul said in

  • 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – KJV 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Today, Todah – Offer Thanks (realization that there is something to be thankful for, even if it is hard), raise your hands and give Thanks to the One God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. YHVH our Elohim is so worthy!

Hodaya – Give Thanks – verbally with your voice to the Eternal Creator of the universe because He Is Good.

HaKarat Ha Tov – Thanksgiving is a Revelation of the Good, focusing on The Good (YHVH)  has given because God alone is Good and He has given us all something to be Thankful for.

We must choose to recognize the Good and not set our focus on what is not good. As we receive the Revelation of Thankfulness we can HaKarat Ha Tov – willingly Give Thanks with our grateful hearts because we see clearly that God is Good and worthy of all Thanksgiving.

So Today on Thanksgiving Day – Enter In

 

Noah Exited The Ark Today and Sacrificed

Today in History – Cheshvan 27 (Nov. 17)

Genesis 8:6-22 Tree of Life Version
6 It was at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made. 7 Then he sent out a raven and it kept going back and forth until the waters were drying up from the land. 8 Then he sent out a dove to see whether the waters had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 But the dove did not find a resting place for the sole of her foot. She returned to him in the ark because water covered the surface of the whole land. He stretched out his hand and he took her, and brought her to him into the ark. 10 So he waited yet another seven days and again he sent the dove out from the ark. 11 The dove came to him at evening, and surprisingly—a freshly plucked olive leaf was in its mouth. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the land. 12 After he waited seven more days, he sent out the dove, but she did not return to him again.

13 It was in his six-hundred-and first year—in the first month, on the first day of the month—that the waters had dried up from the land. Then Noah removed the cover of the ark and he looked, and behold, the surface of the ground had dried up. 14 By the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the land was dry.

Noah’s Soothing Sacrifice

15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife, your sons and your sons’ wives with you. 17 Every animal that is with you of all flesh, including the flying creatures, livestock and every crawling creature that crawls on the land, bring out with you, and let them swarm in the land and be fruitful and multiply upon the land.”

18 So Noah came out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives. 19 Every animal—every crawling creature, every flying creature, everything that crawls upon the land—came out from the ark in their families.

20 Then Noah built an altar to Adonai and he took of every clean domestic animal and of every clean flying creature and he offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 When Adonai smelled the soothing aroma, Adonai said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground on account of man, even though the inclination of the heart of humankind is evil from youth. Nor will I ever again smite all living creatures, as I have done.

22 While all the days of the land remain,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night will not cease.”

Scripture Of The Week By JoBeth Kested

Scripture for the week of November 16, 2014

By JoBeth Kested

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord… Jeremiah 29:11-14a (NKJV)

Have you ever felt like you messed up so badly that you are beyond forgiveness and undeserving of God’s love? Have you lost all hope and feel like you will never qualify for the goodness of God? Sometimes it can feel like God is playing Hide and Seek and nowhere to be found. But, these verses assure us that God really does hear our prayers when we cry out to Him and that He longs to reveal Himself and His good plans for us. Though it may be hard to fathom, the truth is, God harbors no thoughts of evil against us and is always thinking of how to show us His plans for our future with peace and hope. Be encouraged in this promise to you today that you will find the Lord when you pray and seek Him with all your heart.

Scripture Of The Week By JoBeth Kested

Scripture of the week of November 9, 2025 By JoBeth Kested

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; Psalm 23:1-3a

Have you ever longed for peace, comfort and rest for your soul? Our souls involve our mind, will and emotions where we feel the longing or afflictions of doubt, fear, sorrows and confusion that rob us of peace. We are likened to helpless fearful sheep in these scriptures and what a comfort to know that the Lord is our Good Shepherd caring for all our needs, lacking nothing. We may not be quite as excited to realize that He will sometimes make us to lie down and most of us don’t like the idea of anyone making us do anything! Yet, we would gladly welcome the comfort, peace and restored hope we all long for in our souls if we could find it. Dear Lord, direct our steps to a still quiet place in Your presence; free from pressures, anxiety and disappointments to find the comforting rest for our souls that You have provided for us. Amen.

Covenant Reflections: Cheshvan 17 — The Importance of God’s Holy Calendar

DEVOTIONAL

Cheshvan 17 — The Importance of God’s Holy Calendar

About the Series — Covenant Reflections

Each day on God’s Holy Calendar carries meaning and purpose, revealing His rhythm of redemption and His unchanging covenant with His people. Covenant Reflections invites you to pause, remember, and realign your heart with the heart of Adonai—walking in the light of His Word, through the grace of Yeshua our Messiah. May each reflection draw you deeper into His peace, His promises, and His presence.

Scripture Reading

Psalm 118:24

“This is the day that Adonai has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”

Devotional Reflection

Today, according to God’s Holy Calendar, is Cheshvan 17—the very day when Noah closed the door of the ark, and the rains began to fall. It was the day that Adonai acted in righteousness, bringing judgment upon the earth and preserving the one who walked in covenant with Him.

This sacred day reminds us that God’s appointed times are not merely ancient markers of history—they are living signposts of His unchanging nature. His calendar reveals His rhythm, His mercy, and His justice. On Cheshvan 17, the world felt the weight of disobedience, but Noah experienced the safety of obedience and faith.

Today, we are invited to examine our hearts before Adonai. Just as Noah entered the ark at God’s command, we too are called to enter into the covering of Yeshua, our Ark of Salvation. Through His shed blood, forgiveness flows freely, washing away the stains of sin and restoring our peace with the Father.

Be watchful, beloved. The same God who shut Noah in the ark still calls His children to trust and obey—to walk in covenant, not compromise.

Reflection Question

Am I walking faithfully in covenant with Adonai, fully trusting in the protection and redemption of Yeshua, my Ark of Salvation?

Prayer

Abba, thank You for the wisdom of Your Holy Calendar and the reminders it brings of Your faithfulness through every generation. Teach me to walk in obedience and humility before You. Thank You for the covering of Yeshua’s blood that seals me in Your covenant of love and protection. May my heart stay watchful, my spirit steadfast, and my life a reflection of Your mercy.

In the holy name of Yeshua, my Redeemer and King, Amen.

Blessings and Shalom — Love Beyond Measure,

Scripture Of The Week By JoBeth Kested

Scripture for the week of November 2, 2025
By JoBeth Kested

For the Lord is a great God and a great King above all gods, in whose hand are the depths of the earth, the peaks of the mountains are His also. The sea is His, for it was He who made it, and His hands formed the dry land. Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. Psalm 95:3-6 (NASB)

Have you ever had your breath taken away in the beauty of an ocean sunset, stood in awe of snow capped mountains or captivated by the delicate display of wild flowers in a meadow? Elohim, the Creator God, the most masterful of all artists, reveals Himself to us in the minuscule and extravagant details of His creation. God displays His majesty in the loftiness of mountains high and ocean depths. He calls us to fear and wonder at His sovereignty in the power of storms and miraculous expressions of mercy in our lives. He draws us near to His heart in the loveliness of butterfly wings, the fragrance of a rose and the wonder of the birth of a baby. Then, wonder of all wonders we are invited to call Him Father because He loves us! Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. Amen!

Scripture for the week of October 26, 2025
By JoBeth Kested

The Lord will always lead you. He will meet the needs of your soul in the dry times and give strength to your body. You will be like a garden that has enough water, like a well of water that never dries up. Isaiah 58:11 (NLV)

Have you ever felt lost in a dry desolate place, overwhelmed with weariness and no idea of the way to go? Be encouraged by the promise of this scripture that the Lord is always with us to mercifully show us the way even when we find ourselves lost and desperate through foolish choices or no faults of our own. God will meet all the needs of our soul (mind, will and emotions) as well as restore strength to our bodies when it looks like there is no provision for us in any direction. So call upon the Lord in your day of trouble and He will deliver you (Psalms 50:15), restore you like a well watered garden and fill you with His living water that never runs dry. Oh, hallelujah!

Scripture for the week of October 19, 2025
By JoBeth Kested

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. Psalm 18:30-32 (NKJV)

Are you frustrated with your imperfections, disappointed in the imperfect people in your life, or weary of this imperfect world? What a huge comfort to discover the realization that the ways of our God are perfect and to know with assurance that His Word has proven to be perfect, too. He is the protector and defender of all who put their trust in Him. He alone is the Almighty God above all gods and majestic Lord above all lords. There is nothing in this world more sure, more solid and more dependable that our God, The Rock. Our loving, compassionate and merciful God lifts us out of our pity puddles of discouragement, renews our strength and even makes our crooked rough roads into perfect paths of peace. Thank You, Lord!
