On April 11th
I turn 54. Born at the time of the conflict in Vietnam, growing up during the
crisis with oil and inflation in the 70’s and coming of age during the tensions
of Nuclear posturing with the Soviets during the 80’s, my formative years were
filled with a sense of uncertainty. Our world seems much the same today:
conflicts … concerns … uncertainty, now a pandemic! G-d always seems to prefer
working in times of uncertainty since our uncertainty demands from us his
followers total reliance on him, the
Certain One.
Since we know
that knowing G-d and following G-d provides for us his certainty, how should we
be investing ourselves, our time and our resources today? I encourage you this
month to consider and act on ways to invest your time and finances to
strengthen G-d’s Kingdom effort!
Messiah Yeshua
warned us about investing:
“But
store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
destroys and where thieves do not break in or steal.” (Matthew 6:20)
On April 16th
Devar Emet celebrates 24 years of ministry work as a unique part of G-d’s
greater Kingdom effort. Much has been accomplished as you well know if you're familiar
with our synagogue and outreach work, yet so much more remains to be done. The
future though is uncertain.
Despite the
uncertainty of our current health crisis, we know that G-d is moving our world
toward His certain end, the Kingdom of our Messiah Yeshua! Let each of us
generously and intentionally work to further this message through our time and
resources. This kind of investment
will bring certain and eternal reward!
Forward for
Messiah!
