Focus in on Life

We so often are concern with many issues in life. We occupy our time trying to find jobs, or getting to work and doing well to keep our jobs, what college we are going to attend or where we are sending our children to obtained their degrees, the political climate in our country. We worry about marriage and companionship. We even become anxious about what clothes to wear or not to so as to be accepted in our social groups. These concerns only increase the levels of stress, anxiety, and worry at times beyond what's normal. The result is the distraction of our minds from what truly matters: the kingdom of God.
But we must develop a type of leaser beam focus that anchors our minds and souls on the things of God. This can be achieved by reading and meditating on the holy scriptures day and night.
A follower of God then must be one who seeks out God's will, while he lives in this present age. The understanding of God's will comes only by a life dedicated to the study of the testaments or holy scriptures of God. Reading the scriptures continually is vital. It is a cornerstone of spiritual development and mental discipline in the things of God that keeps us from worry about other things that distract us from the holy path. Reading truly is fundamental.
The Bible does this work  of development in us when we reflect on the centuries of recorded history and prophecy, the wisdom literature it continues, the laws and commandments, prophetic poetry, life instructions, and encouragement in the faith of God through the lives of God's saints as it is written. This practice of study opens our mental  eye to see clearly and avoid the errors that is in the world by misguided people and those who desire to lead us off the path of righteousness. Study builds up our faith and leads us unto God's son: Yashawah the Christ from Nazareth.
This path of the contemplative life is a work in progress. We grow and mature the more we study and read the scriptures. Our understanding expands and be begin to know what is truly pleasing to God. This is a noble act says the scriptures, to search the Bible for instruction and guidance in all matters of daily living unto the hope of the kingdom of God.
The scripture also teaches us to live a balance life of study with application of the scriptures. This calls for setting aside dedicated time for study and meditation and then tending to the daily necessities of life according to it. Thus, we become doers of the word and not just readers of the word as we approach life from a God perspective ( James 1:22). When we live this way we fulfill Christ's word, " You are a city on a Hill that cannot be hid ( Mat. 5:14)." " Let your light shine to God's glory(Mat. 5:16)."
However, the Bible states that to much or imbalance approach to study can harm ones health. If we study to the point of neglecting our sleep, diet, exercise, love ones and those we are responsible for we only increase stress and anxiety, weaken our immune system, and age our bodies early, the very things we are trying to avoid. This is due to the negative impact  and strain imbalance has on our own health and the emotional distress it puts on those closest to us. This practice is not good. God does not instruct us or require us to live this type of imbalance life. He only ask for diligence or routine dedication to the study of His word and application of that word as practice in our daily lives, which creates harmony, contentment, confidence, and increased faith that leads to the reward of a Kingdom- because we loved him by obeying him ( John 14:15).

The Sabbath

“Remember the Sabbath day

and keep it holy (Ex. 20:8)”

For six days we work

everyday we go about our endeavors ( Ex. 20:9,10,11)

and so He feeds us all

what we have is of Him,

and through Him, and to Him,

the Lord God is His name (Rom. 11:36)

Amen

At eve

on the seventh day

quite comes

the noise of the city stops

the grinding of the machine ends

the sound of the train fades

and the Sabbath begins

the prayers of your saints

are heard, O God

the sweet songs of Zion resounds

and the beauty of your Holy Word

is revealed by your Holy Spirit

and we are refreshed

Amen

The sun rises in the east

over the trees and houses

the birds play their songs

and the wind blows

and we come before your presences

O God,

Lord of heaven and earth

and show mercy

to the multitudes of nations (Rom. 15: 8,9,10)

Coming Back

I dwell among the Nations

thousands of miles

between us

on the other side of the world

I almost forgot you,

O Jerusalem

But His words

were etched into my heart

Now, God will do a new thing (Is.43:18,19)

Distance, and time, and oceans,

and mountains, and open plains,

and rain forests, and hills, and deserts

could not take away

the remembrance of your beauty, O City of God

No matter how faint a memory it was

it is still there

Like the mustard seed,

small, yet it grows

it increase in size

so all the birds of heaven

may dwell in it's branches ( Matt. 13:31,32)

I recall you to mind again,

O Jerusalem

among all the nations

as He said I would ( Deut. 30:1,2,3,4)

God has not forsaken His people

Israel ( Rom. 11:1,2)

Now I know His word is Truth

as it is written ( John 14:29)

Twisted

Can a man

Make that straight

which is crooked

by nature (Eccl. 1:15)?

Or who can change

the course of a river?

The wicked

will not turn from his wickedness

even when mercy

is shown to him (Is. 26:10)

He is Twisted

blinded

by the light of darkness ( 2 Cor. 4:3,4)

A slave of corruption ( 2 Peter 2:18,19)

and a follower of the beast,

that old dragon, the serpent

called the Devil ( Rev. 14:9,10,11)

They are took,

trapped and double trapped,

led astray with errors

their minds are defiled

their talk is most vile

to delicate ears

Can a good man bear them?

Only by separating from them ( Titus 3:10,11).

For the haters of God

will not hear corrections ( Proverbs 15:12)

In twisted paths they go,

till they fall

For they are set in slippery places (Jer. 23:12).

Wait on Him

It easy to believe that we are the prime movers and chief architects of our destinies in our current culture. Some believe that by our performance, we are able to change situations and guarantee a specific outcome. However, this mindset has a tendency to create high levels of anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. This is because we don't have the power to change the course of history or the destiny of others or ourselves, that belongs to God only.
If you find yourself in this predicament, there are two key things to member or come to the realization of. The first, our performance does not guarantee our desired outcome, it is God's grace that brings us joy and success, which leads to contentment (Eph. 2: 8,9). Grace is the loving kindness of God towards his creation, including his chief creation: man. It is his unmerited favor towards us. A gift which is based on faith- the belief that God is and should be honored. If there was no grace and life was based only on our performance, then we would have opportunity to boast in our great abilities (which many that have no faith do continually) and not give the glory to God. Yet, they, who do this, do not recognize that even their ability is of God for his purpose.
The second thing we must realize is that all our fears and anxieties are dissipated by the presence or spirit of God. He is our deliverer and hope, preserving us unto his holy kingdom (2 Tim.4:18). To strive for glory and recognition by this world's standard is no glory; because with it come such great sacrifices. For a man to truly love this world and the things in it he must forsake God. And this only brings more fear, doubt, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy, because now that man must rely or believe on himself  alone. This is a dangerous situation to be in as no man knows all things, nor does he have the power to control the times and the seasons. Those things belong to the God of glory: Yahawah, the power. But when we put our trust in God, we can rest assure that He is our helper and keeper, our shade upon our right hand (Ps. 121:5). God will assist us to overcome in all our troubles, struggles, and downfalls far greater than we or any man can do.
Christ warned us many times personally and through his apostles to avoid this mindset and it's dangers(Luke 21: 34, 2 Tim.2:4). The holy scriptures always encourages us to set our hope in God and his coming kingdom through faith in God and His Christ, Jesus of Nazareth. This God centered mindset helps us to avoid the pitfalls of an earthy or a man centered outlook. We don't look to ourselves to overcome this world and all it's challenges and seductions of success and gain, but rather we look to God to provide better things for us coupled with deliverance from all our worries ( Phil. 4:6,7). God is the source of power to all who believe to the saving of their souls.

The World

The world

will not consider

this

Your great work

Your strange work

they will disregard

Your calling

they will go on

in eating, and drinking

and marrying, and warring,

and lusting for power and fame

the quest for pleasure

will consume them,

as the people of the old world

when Noah prophesied.

But your elect will hearken,

as the eight on the great ship.

Summer is coming

Let the elect hear

what God is saying

before the grate and terrible day

II Peter 3

A day in your presence

is as a 1,000 years

and a 1,000 years on earth

is one day in heaven ( 2 Peter 3:8)

for your elect

you are patient

you are faithful

for us

you are abiding

you move times and seasons

until we all come

to the place of Repentance (2 Peter 3:9)

that we may escape

the judgment written:

the baptism of fire

for the wicked,

and to partake of the transformation

of our bodies to immortality

and the rebuilding of Earth (Is. 61:4)

Shalam,

Zarach

Praise for The Word

This is a gift

a treasure

uncovered

A breath of fresh air

after years and years

of solitary confinement

It's like an escape

from the chateau d'If

or to drift unto the

shore of an Island beach

after days in the ocean deep

This word, which is of God

is most precious

better than dollars

sweeter than high fructose corn syrup

and more pleasant

than any beauty the world

can conjure up

Nothing can compare to it

for it originates from the source

of all things

God, the Father ( Rom. 11:36, Jeremiah 51:19)
