Walking under a cloud?

Have you ever felt like you were doing everything right and still were walking around with a cloud over your head when it's sunny all around you?

As a believer in Yeshua/Jesus....you study hard, you go to fellowship, you're a nice person.

Why is this happening?

Did you know that there is a huge difference between KNOWING THE TRUTH and LIVING IN the truth?


Yeshua/Jesus said to his disciples,
"“I AM the Way — and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me."

And

 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said,
 “If you hold to my teaching,you are really my disciples.  Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Yeshua didn't say he knew the truth. Yeshua said he was the truth. huge difference.

One might think as a disciple, 'what's the big difference?'....well frankly there is a monumental life giving difference.

 Well let's take a look at the definition of the word "truth"
per Merriam Webster Definition (though all the the dictionaries had the definition)

•  :truth : the real facts about something : the things that are true
•   So what does  Merriam Webster  have to say about the word true?
• • : agreeing with the facts : not false
  • : real or genuine
  • 
    
  •  Point?
  • 
    
  • Yeshua/Jesus is truth. Is true. Is the real and genuine deal. He's not just a man or prophet teaching us the truth. He is the truth.
  • 
    
  • Pretty awesome. 
  • 
    
  • So in order obtain the Shalom/Peace and direction that we so desperately desire in life by serving and following Yeshua/Jesus...it is imperative that we get to know (*yada -understand root meaning below) him intimately.
  • 
    
  • Not just know about him. Not just serve him.
  • Actually get to know him like we know each other as family. As friends.
  • 
    
  • If this was at all enlightening to you, or spoke to you...please share with others.
  • 
    
  • If you don't know (yada) Yeshua/Jesus in this manner and would like to but don't know how...please contact me! 
  • (Contact info in profile.)
  • 
    
  No matter where you are in life.
  • 
    
• No matter what you may or may not have.

• He will change your life!

My Perfect Day

My perfect day.

The more I think about it the more I realize MY perfect day consists of of the simplest of requests.

Yet at the same time it is the very simple nature of the request that I believe is the reason I may never have them all in one day...thus never have "my perfect day"....well at least not while I am here here in this life anyway.

You see, all I desire for a day to be "my perfect day" is:

1) That no one argue with me for the entire day. That no one curse at me or belittle me for the entire day. Being in the business I am in I realize this is probably highly impossible.

2) I would also like to be someone's #1 for a change. Top of the priority list. Call me, I dunno, selfish, but I would just like to be on the TOP of someones call waiting for a change. You know?  When  you are on the phone with someone and they get another call? I would like to be the one who STAYS on the phone for a change.....NOT the one who gets the ol', "I'm sorry can I call you back I gotta take this call." Just someones gotta see YOU list.

3) Peace and quiet. Guilt free. No people, no animals. Just peace and quiet all to myself.

So yes, I am sure I could think of a few other things. But these are what I can not ever seem to get any of in my life right now.

I know one day I will have all of these. All at once and I can hardly wait.

Until then I will keep looking up,

HAD to share!

This just TOUCHED my heart soooo much this morning! I started highlighting certain verses but then they ALL ended up highlighted so I just put the whole Psalm on here.

Read....BE STILL and BE BLESSED!

Psalm 37

Don’t be upset by evildoers
or envious of those who do wrong,
2 for soon they will wither like grass
and fade like the green in the fields.
3 Trust in Adonai, and do good;
settle in the land, and feed on faithfulness.
4 Then you will delight yourself in Adonai,
and he will give you your heart’s desire.

5 Commit your way to Adonai;
trust in him, and he will act.
6 He will make your vindication shine forth like light,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before Adonai;
wait patiently till he comes.
Don’t be upset by those whose way
succeeds because of their wicked plans.
8 Stop being angry, put aside rage,
and don’t be upset — it leads to evil.

9 For evildoers will be cut off,
but those hoping in Adonai will inherit the land.
10 Soon the wicked will be no more;
you will look for his place, and he won’t be there.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and delight themselves in abundant peace.

12 The wicked plots against the righteous
and grinds his teeth at him;
13 but Adonai laughs at the wicked,
knowing his day will come.
14 The wicked have unsheathed their swords,
they have strung their bows
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slaughter those whose way is upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.

16 Better the little that the righteous has
than the wealth of all the wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
but Adonai upholds the righteous.
18 Adonai knows what the wholehearted suffer,
but their inheritance lasts forever.
19 They will not be distressed when times are hard;
when famine comes, they will have plenty.

20 For the wicked will perish;
Adonai’s enemies will be like sheep fat,
ending up as smoke, finished.
21 The wicked borrows and doesn’t repay,
but the righteous is generous and gives.
22 For those blessed by [Adonai] will inherit the land,
but those cursed by him will be cut off.

23 Adonai directs a person’s steps,
and he delights in his way.
24 He may stumble, but he won’t fall headlong,
for Adonai holds him by the hand.

25 I have been young; now I am old;
yet not once have I seen the righteous abandoned
or his descendants begging for bread.
26 All day long he is generous and lends,
and his descendants are blessed.

27 If you turn from evil and do good,
you will live safely forever.
28 For Adonai loves justice
and will not abandon his faithful;
they are preserved forever.
But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.

29 The righteous will inherit the land
and live in it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous articulates wisdom,
his tongue speaks justice.
31 The Torah of his God is in his heart;
his footsteps do not falter.

32 The wicked keeps his eye on the righteous,
seeking a chance to kill him.
33 But Adonai will not leave him in his power
or let him be condemned when judged.
34 Put your hope in Adonai, keep to his way,
and he will raise you up to inherit the land.

When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
35 I have seen a wicked man wielding great power,
flourishing like a shade tree in its native soil.
36 But I passed by again, and he was no longer there;
I looked for him, but he could not be found.

37 Observe the pure person, consider the upright;
for the peaceful person will have posterity.
38 But transgressors will all be destroyed;
the posterity of the wicked will be cut off.
39 Adonai is the one who saves the righteous;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40 Adonai helps them and rescues them,
rescues them from the wicked and saves them;
because they take refuge in him.
