Haderekh Messianic Devotional
WILLING HEART
'The statutes of Yehovah are more to be desired than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb' Psalm 19:8-10 (NKJV) Have you ever seen a film of the Mission Aviation Fellowship's ministry? It starts with the jungle vegetation shrouding the beautiful mountain terrain, and then suddenly there are tribal people everywhere; dancing, singing, and shaking the ground beneath with excitement as a tiny white plane appears on the horizon. Minutes later, the M.A.F. plane lands, and the cheers of the crowd reach fever pitch as boxes are unloaded from the small aircraft....
PERSISTANCE IN PRAYER!
'Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you' Matthew 7:7 (NKJV) The constant moaning of a child in the supermarket, badgering the accompanying adult for something he wants, is irritating, whether the child is yours or someone else's!

It is a reminder that memory has such power; to paralyse, demoralise, discourage or cause pain. It is no wonder that many people have gone to great lengths to try to bury their dark moments, hiding it in...

MORNINGS WITH YEHOVAH
In the natural realm many of us are accustomed to eating “on the go” – starting off our days in a rush to get to work or to school – maybe grabbing a piece of toast or a cereal bar as we head out of the door. If we have lunch at all, we eat it at our desks, keeping up with the workload that surrounds us. Then at night, if we are fortunate, we sit down to eat our dinners, often the largest meal of the day, on a tray in front of the TV. Then we are too full and too tired to move – and so in the evenings we become “vegged-out” “couch potatoes.” read more…
