Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Long, long ago the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD.   Their evil cause the LORD to give them over to the Eglon king of Moab and Eglon was in discussion with the Ammonites and Amalekites.   They agreed to join Eglon and attacked and over powered Israel; taking possession of the City of Palms.   Now the Israelites were subject to Eglon king of Moad and he ruled over them for eighteen years. During these difficult and dark times we the Israelites turned form our sin and repented.   We started to cry out to the LORD to rescue us from this evil king.   The LORD took mercy on us as a nation and sent a man named Ehud to us.    Ehud a left-handed man, the son of Gera the Benjamite, it was tradition for the Israelites to pay tribute to the king and the elders spoke to Ehud.   “Good evening brothers.”   Ehud greeted as he came and sat down between the elders of the City.   “Ehud, good evening.”   They greeted. ...

I have been made in the image of God and so have you.   We are human with God’s breath within us.   In Genesis 1: 26   "Then God said, 'Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness ; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth..."

Walking up to the till to pay for your purchase, you never get greeted.   You say good day, with a smile and the person behind the till ignores you.   ‘Do you want a plastic bag?’   Sour faced and really not happy to be there, she starts scanning the products over the scanner, having an in-depth conversation with the lady who packs the purchased products into your plastic bags. After she has scanned all products, you tell her, ‘Cheque account, please.’   She looks you in the eye and asks you “Savings?”   My dear husband always has a fit there and then; thank goodness he doesn’t say anything.    People in jobs take it for granted that they have employment and they think they are d...

Pearls for today:  Hebrews 9: 24 ‘For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.’ Thank you Lord Jesus.
