Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Psalms 39:2: “I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.” The literal meaning is quite clear, David is really trying to keep his tongue in check. He fully recognizes how his speech or speaking out could result in sin. Thus he
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Deuteronomy 10:20: “You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him and cling to Him, and you shall swear by His name.” In past studies I looked at what it meant to “fear God.” I also looked at the word for “serve.” Here is a third command to
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Psalms 119:18: “Open my eyes that I may behold wonderful things from your law.” The word “law” is Torah. During David’s time that was his Bible, the Scripture, the Word of God. Today we have a complete Old and New Testament. So quite literally David is asking that God opens
Good Evening Yamon Ki Yesepar; I Samuel 17:40: And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook…” If you have ever taken a class in creative writing, you know this is very poor story telling. We have a real good example of foreshadowing, with David picking
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Isaiah 53:5: “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” He was wounded for our transgressions.

Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Psalms 119:11: “Your word have I have I hidden in my heart, that I might no sin against you.” “Trifles light as air, are to the jealous confirmation proofs as truth of holy writ.” Iago –– Othello – Shakespeare. This is one of those verses you hear so often but
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar and Nevim Arith Hayomin; I Kings 17:7: “And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.” This morning I read a story in People Magazine about the former president of MGM, a young, multi-millionaire who worked his
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Psalm 24:7: “Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, on ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.” The pashat seems clear. David is picturing God as a conquering king returning from battle and passing through the gates of the city to his palace. But,
WORD STUDY: GOOD (SHEPHERD) John 10:11: “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd gives his life for his sheep.” Good: Greek: kalos – beautiful, fine, excellent, blameless, high moral character. Aramaic: tawa’ – A relationship with someone or something that is harmonious and in sync. Jesus calls himself a good shepherd. There are a
WORD STUDY – Pass Through Exodus 12:23: “For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.” Pass
