Daily Reflection - 18 November - Jeremiah 2:7-12

Jude Sat Jul 20, 2019 2:35 am

7“Then I brought you into a garden land, to eat its fruit and its goodness. But when you entered, you defiled My land and made My inheritance an abomination.

8“The priests did not say, ‘Where is יהוה?’ And those who handle the Torah did not know Me, and the shepherdsa transgressed against Me, and the prophets prophesied by Ba‛al, and walked after matters that did not profit.

9“Therefore I still contend with you,” declares יהוה, “and with your children’s children I contend.

10“For, pass beyond the isles of Kittim and see, and send to Qĕḏar and observe well, and see if there has been any like this.

11“Has a nation changed its mighty ones, which are not mighty ones? But My people have changed My esteema for that which does not profit.

12“Be amazed, O heavens, at this, and be frightened, be utterly dried up,” declares יהוה. JEREMIAH 2:7-12 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

7 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.

8 The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and with your children's children will I plead.

10 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.

11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord. JEREMIAH 2:7-12 King James Version - KJV

13 But now in Christ Jesus, ye which once were far off, are made near by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken the stop of the partition wall,

15 In abrogating through his flesh the hatred, that is, the Law of commandments which standeth in ordinances, for to make of twain one new man in himself, so making peace,

16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by his cross, and slay hatred thereby,

17 And came, and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were near.

18 For through him we both have an entrance unto the Father by one Spirit. JEREMIAH 2:7-12 Geneva Bible 1599 – GNV

May Yah bless and keep you ALL safely abiding under the Shadows of His Mighty Wings. If you have not yet repented, I ask that you repent immediately. Turn to our Heavenly Father through His Beloved Son Yahusha Messiah (Jesus Christ). Please consider doing this immediately, for as we know the world is soon coming to a close. It is during this time that we will need Yah's full divine protection for what is to be unveiled. I believe that it was through obedience that Noah had such great faith; this in essence was what saved him and his family from the flood. As a follower of the Holy Messiah (born again Believer; a former Roman Catholic of 46+ years) there is so much to gain in doing so. My soul is richly blessed by the gems of truth revealed to me by my beloved Heavenly Father, Abba, and I have no regrets repenting of my past ways. Blessings! ~ Judy Velez

THE PSALMS

1My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me – Far from saving Me, far from the words of My groaning?

2O My Elohim, I call by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I find no rest.

3Yet You are set-apart, Enthroned on the praises of Yisra’ĕl.

4Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them.

5They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

6But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.

7All those who see Me mock Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8“He trusted in יהוה, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, seeing He has delighted in Him!”

9For You are the One who took Me out of the womb; Causing Me to trust while on My mother’s breasts.

10I was cast upon You from birth. From My mother’s belly You have been My Ěl.

11Do not be far from Me, For distress is near; For there is none to help.

12Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong ones of Bashan have encircled Me.

13They have opened their mouths against Me, As a raging and roaring lion.

14I have been poured out like water, And all My bones have been spread apart; My heart has become like wax; It has melted in the midst of My inward parts.

15My strength is dried like a potsherd, And My tongue is cleaving to My jaws; And to the dust of death You are appointing Me.

16For dogs have surrounded Me; A crowd of evil ones have encircled Me, Piercing My hands and My feet;

17I count all My bones. They look, they stare at Me.

18They divide My garments among them, And for My raiment they cast lots.

19But You, O יהוה, do not be far off; O My Strength, hasten to help Me!

20Deliver My life from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog.

21Save Me from the mouth of the lion, And from the horns of the wild beasts! You have answered Me.

22I make known Your Name to My brothers; In the midst of the assembly I praise You.

23You who fear יהוה, praise Him! All you seed of Ya‛aqoḇ, esteem Him, And fear Him, all you seed of Yisra’ĕl!

24For He has not despised Nor hated the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard.

25From You is My praise in the great assembly; I pay My vows before those who fear Him.

26The meek ones do eat and are satisfied; Let those who seek Him praise יהוה. Let your heart live forever!

27Let all the ends of the earth Remember and turn to יהוה, And all clans of the nations Bow themselves before You.

28For the reign belongs to יהוה, And He is ruling over the nations.

29All the fat ones of the earth Shall eat and bow themselves; All who go down to the dust bow before Him, Even he who did not keep alive his own life.

30A seed shall serve Him. It is declared of יהוה to the coming generation.

31They shall come and declare His righteousness To a people yet to be borna, For He shall do it! PSALM 22 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
