Haderekh Messianic Devotional
THE LIFE OF FAITH
'None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, "Know Yehovah," for all shall know Me.' Hebrews 8:11 (NKJV) Do you know that this life here on earth, is the only time in eternity, that you can experience faith? To act in faith; to choose to believe, pray, seek Yehovah and have Him answer you; to pray for another to be healed, to witness miracles, to hear a precious word from Yehovah for another, and see Him glorified through it. Only during this time on earth do you have the privilege to lead someone to Yeshua, to play a part in someone entering eternal life. Sometimes...
THE IMPORTANCE OF WORDS
'By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of Yehovah,' Hebrews 11:3 (NKJV) Language is the currency of heaven! The spoken word is the means of activity. By faith, we understand that the universe was created by the Word of Yehovah. Yehovah did not delegate it to an angelic building firm. He Himself spoke it into existence. His words created something beautiful. The same writer also wrote that Yeshua is 'upholding all things by the word of His power' (Hebrews 1:3). So the word is not only creative, but also sustaining. Words from Yeshua uphold and sustain, that which in...
FAITH AND GRACE
'The grace of Yehovah was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Yeshua Hamashiach.' 1 Timothy 1:14 Pretty much everyone will have made a cup of tea at some point in their life, and there is an analogy which you can apply to your life, from this simple, everyday task! Imagine that you are making a cup of tea; you have poured a cup full of boiling water over a teabag, and watched as the water slowly turned a lovely golden color. The longer you watch the water, the stronger, and more fragrant it becomes as the teabag soaks. Your faith can be like a teabag,...
THE LOST ART OF REFLECTION
'Come to my home each day and listen to me. You will find happiness. By finding me, you find life.' Proverbs 8:34-35 (CEV) Reflection - the art of waiting on Yehovah - is the lost art of the twenty-first century. So many people's lives consist of rushing out of the house every morning, driving bumper to bumper, and arriving at the office just on time. The daily routine is often frantic. Despite taking the same journey for years, if you stop somewhere and just sit for a while, you may notice trees and wildlife that you've never noticed before. Even if it is just ten minutes extra onto your...
CREATED WITH A PURPOSE
'We are - created in Yeshua Hamashiach to do good works!' Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV) The Bible tells us this: 'For by grace you have been saved through faith. For we are His workmanship, created in Yeshua Hamashiach to do good works, which Yehovah prepared beforehand that we should walk in them' (Ephesians 2:8-10 NKJV). What an incredible thought! You are Yehovah's workmanship, His crafting. Your very existence is as a result of His plans, creative ability and grace - it is not based on what you do, or on your performance. When Yehovah made Adam, was it so that Adam could sit in the Garden of...
DON’T BE HEART-SICK (2)
'We also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope' Romans 5:3-4 (NKJV) Martin Luther King Jr. made this statement: 'If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you to go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream'. If you are to keep your hopes and dreams alive, then you too must learn to wrestle with hope, and win the battle of courage. Don't let setbacks and delays destroy it; let hope arise, and believe that Yehovah...
