Psalm 100

1Samuel 1:1 "Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite: And he had two wives; the name of the one [was] Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children."

It's ironic how that in our modern times, "christians" point to the practice of having more than one wife as a sin and a shame. Well we know that it wasn't a sin because Yahweh's law gave instruction and guidance for the practice of multiple wives, and as long as it was being practiced within those guide lines it certainly wasn't a shame when you see how many of Israelites actually had multiple wives. And what's more the practice had less to do with having large numbers of children than many have implied, for we read.:5 "But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb." So we have a family with two wives, yet one one unable to bear children for scripture itself says that Yahweh had shut up her womb. But what a tremendous testimonial of Elkanah,:8 "Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? [am] not I better to thee than ten sons?"

:10 "And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head."

:20 "Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of the LORD." And having been blessed with the answer to her prayer, she was not slack in fullfilling her vow, but having recieved her heart's desire, she turned around and offered it back to the Father. ":28 "Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there."

But Yahweh did not stop there, for He took the purity of Hannah's request, and blessed her exceedingly abundantly above what she had hoped for, 1Samuel 2:21 "And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD."

Our Heavenly Father Yahweh

Blessed be Thy Holy Name. We thank You for all our many blessings and pray that we might truly show gratitude unto you. Help us to be gracious and humble unto all, that we might bring glory unto You.

Psalm 82

1Samuel 2:12 "Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD."

Here is a double insult. First, the sons of Eli the priest were found worthy to be called sons of Belial. Second, these sons were priests themselves. It is one thing for a child to stray from the way that they were taught, quite another to be considered worthy of the title sons of Belial. They abused and exploited the positions they were entrusted with. Why? Because, "they knew not the LORD." What can we expect when men claim to be servants of the Most High God, and yet have no knowledge of Him. The Holy Spirit had never had any dealings with them, and the law of Yahweh had not even touched their hearts. Yahweh was nothing more than a deity, among the many deities worshipped. No more than a historical figure in the history of their people, and the religion of the Hebrews nothing more than cultural tradition. Their apostasy was so bad they even defiled the tabernacle iself. :22 "Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."

What could be the only outcome of such apostasy? :17 "Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD."

Our Father Yahweh

Deliver us in this evil day, for the ungodly have exalted themselves at every corner, and even among those who call UYour Holy Name, lawlessness is found. Deliver Your Israel people, O Father, from the hand of the wicked and the blade of the backstabber.

HaleluYah!

Psalm 129

1Samuel 3:5 "And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth."

5:2 "When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off upon the threshold; only [the stump of] Dagon was left to him. Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day. But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, [even] Ashdod and the coasts thereof."

O Father Yahweh, Holy is Thy Name

Pour out Your Spirit upon Your Israel people, that our hearts might be grieved by our sin, that our lives might be purged of all iniquity, that we might seek Your Face once again and be delivered and healed.

Psalm 22

1Samuel 8:1 "And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: [they were] judges in Beersheba. And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations."

Again we see the children of the righteous forsaking the paths of their forfathers. In the sons of Eli we saw Israel driven to despise the very offerings unto Yahweh. In the sons of Samuel we see Israel driven even further; to reject the chosen form of government of Yahweh God, and the desire to be "like all the nations". But notice Yahweh's response, :7 "And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee."

O Blessed Father Yahweh

Holy is Thy Name and Glorious is Thy Law! Look upon the chaos of this earth, o King of all creation, and let Thy Holy Kingdom come, that righteousness and peace may rule the ends of the earth.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 26

1Samuel 9:16 "To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him [to be] captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me."

Some teachers of scripture have tried to say that Samuel was so impressed with Saul that it was actually Samuel, not Yahweh, that chose Saul. But it would seem that scripture disagrees with them: 10:1 "Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] upon his head, and kissed him, and said, [Is it] not because the LORD hath anointed thee [to be] captain over his inheritance?"

It is plain that Yahweh did choose Saul to be the first king over Israel. Saul was called, chosen but even more than that we read, "10:5 "After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where [is] the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy: And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. ... 10:9 "And it was [so], that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day."

Saul was a man who had sought nothing for himself and was so humble and shy that he even hid from his own coronation :22 "Therefore they enquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff. And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward."

Precious Father Yahweh

Look upon me and know me, examine my life, and if there be any thing which offends You, show it to me, that I might repent and be forgiven and bring glory unto Your Holy Name.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 16

1Samuel 13:8 "And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering. And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him. And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and [that] thou camest not within the days appointed, and [that] the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash; Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering. And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him [to be] captain over his people, because thou hast not kept [that] which the LORD commanded thee."

1Samuel 14:32 "And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew [them] on the ground: and the people did eat [them] with the blood." Saul's foolish command for no one to eat while engaged in battle caused the Israelite warriors to sin, and placed a wedge between himself and his men when it was discovered that his own son Jonathon, the hero of the day, had taken honey to eat.

1Samuel 15:12 "And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal." Saul now thought it no small matter to erect a monument to himself. His opinion of himself was apparently growing. Gone was his humility and shyness. Pride and arrogance were now becoming his trademarks.

:13 "And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD." Did Saul think to decieve the prophet of Yahweh? Or was he so blinded that he actually thought that he was obeying Yahweh? Saul missed the point entirely. Yahweh did not want anything polluted by the Amalekites. To Saul sheep were sheep and oxen were oxen, but Yahweh was more discriminating. Yahweh wanted ALL slain, but to Saul this was a way of worshipping Yahweh without actually having to sacrifice of his own. Saul made no distinction between the light and the dark, thinking that Yahweh would recieve any old kind of worship and sacrifice. But he was very wrong.

:22 "And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king." Here is the heart of the matter. We live in a day when "freedom of worship" is all the rage. One church after another bills itself as encouraging "freedom in the Spirit", but not one word about repentance. Not one syllable about obediance. Their so-called freedom is actually bondage to the world in the name of christianity. Those who suggest that The Father might not be pleased with all their so-called freedom are quickly labeled legalistic, outdated and not sensitive to the culture in which we live, and our criticism dismissed as rapidly as possible so that they can return to their holy-free-for-all.

Heavenly Father Yahweh

Guard my steps, I pray Thee, and keep me from the vanity of my own imagination, that I may walk in humility before You.

HalleluYah!

:6 "And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD'S anointed [is] before him. But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart."

:10 "Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all [thy] children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither."

Psalm 18

When David was brought into Saul's palace to play his songs of Yahweh, it must have truly seemed that his destiny to be king was unfolding before him-and it was-just not the way that he had thought. Beware the false start, that which promises but does not deliver.

1Samuel 17:23 "And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard [them]. And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid." An entire army held at bay by one man. When there is sin in the camp, as was the case with king Saul, we shrink from our adversaries, but when we are right with our God, holy boldness propels us forward unwaveringly.

:26 "And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?" All the other Israelite soldiers looked at the situation and were overcome by their fear. David was the only one who dared look through the eyes of faith and see not an invincible enemy, but a reproach against the Ever-Living God Yahweh and the chosen ones of Yahweh. Looking through the eyes of faith filled David with righteous indignation for the glory of Yahweh and Israel.

:36 "Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God." David's faith was a tried faith. He already knew what the Father could and would do, and to David the Philistine giant was no different than the threat of a lion or a bear. What Yahweh had done before He was fully able to do again, especially scince it was Yahweh's Glory that was being reproached.

:39 "And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved [it]. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved [them]. And David put them off him." The king in absolute desperation attempts to clothe David in the conventional armor of warfare. But these would not do. In David's life he had yet to "prove" the reliableness of such armor. When others become aware of our calling, our mission, our destiny, they insist we take familiar paths (at least to them) but Yahweh has called us to Himself, not to tradition. Immediately when a man feels called of Yahweh, he is quickly bundled up and sent to bible college or seminary, where usually the fires of zeal are quenched by half truths and outright lies. Paul testified that after recieving his heavenly vision he conferred not with flesh and blood but departed to solitude to be schooled by the Messiah Himself through His Holy Spirit. Do not despise the well meaning intentions of others, but do not conform to anything but the will of Yahweh Himself.

:45 "Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands." Who can read such a glorious declaration without feeling their own faith rise and soar? David stepped forward thinking not of himself or for his own safety, not of any glory that he might obtain. Al his focus was gathered on the Ever-Living God.

:48 "And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine." Behold the glory of faith unchained! David did not wait for his enemy to come to him, but with all the fire of hisrighteous rage he charged towards that which had blasphemed the Name of Yahweh. Oh, the sin of our timidity. We stumble and stagger at the promises of Yahweh, and fail to exhalt the Messiah before others.

:50 "So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but [there was] no sword in the hand of David." The most unlikely weapons imaginable brought victory to the champion of Israel. Little is much with Yahweh God, and very often less is truly more, for we must never forget that Yahweh looks to exhalt Himself, and as in David's case, the most unlikely warrior possible was exactly what Yahweh had in mind.

Our Precious Heavenly Father Yahweh

Help me not to look at the size of the enemies or the problems in my life, but to keep my eyes steadfast upon You.

HalleluYah!

Proverbs 30

1Samuel 18:11 "And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall [with it]. And David avoided out of his presence twice." David had scarcely entered into Saul's domain than jealousy had endangered him. Entering the city to the cries of David has slain his ten thousands, while Saul was only credited with a few thousands, had aroused an uneasy feeling in Saul. Now where once the songs of worship from David could chase away the evil spirit that now tormented Saul, they only seemed to add to his torment. What was the source of Saul's torment? "And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul."

My Heavenly Father Yahweh

Forgive me, I pray Thee, for all the places where I have not given You 100% obediance, or have grumbled and complained. Help me to repent and be everything that You have called me to be.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 94

Exodus 1:8 "Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph."

How many dark times have risen upon Israel because of rulers who knew not Yahweh? The Pharoah knew not Joseph nor Joseph's Mighty God. This is how it begins. Unrighteousness comes to power and it must logically follow, :16 "And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see [them] upon the stools; if it [be] a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it [be] a daughter, then she shall live."

:17 "But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive." Most christians fear the government more than they fear their God. Oh, there may be the occasional outcry against some abomination, but how many abominations did they endure before that? If only people would fear their Heavenly Father more than earthly sovereigns, then might more thrones tremble as well. We are called to pray for leaders, but when the unrighteous "form mischief by a law", we must never be partakers, but are called to be shining examples of holiness and righteousness unto Yahweh. If truly we look forward to the coming King, then we set our eyes upon His laws, for we await a kingdom, which shall never end; and the beginning of that eternal rule will be a day of Judgement once and for all. Therefor the fear of Yahweh God will be one of the most priceless possessions we can now own.

Heavenly Father Yahweh

Blessed is Your Name. Help Your Israel people to follow You and obey Your laws, and see the wickedness of the leaders of our nations. Give us the strength to stand for You and You alone.

HalleluYah!

Psalm 19

Philippians 2:12 "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."

Churchianity is constantly telling it's poor flock that all have the unbridled freedom to work out their own salvation, but the rest of the verse brings things into focus. "With fear and trembling." We are not dealing with mere pious reverance or respect. Think of Hebrews 10: 30-31,"For we know him that hath said, Vengeance [belongeth] unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. [It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." We look to our Father as just that: our Father. But a father is charged with both love and discipline, and we are told that any parent who "spares the rod, hateth his own child."

O Father Yahweh

Please forgive me for all the ways that I have not walked in the righteous fear of You, the Ever-Living God. Help me to not become so confident of Your Love and Mercy, that I lose my fear of Your Displeasure.

HalleluYah!

And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that [there was] no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well."

Psalm 106

Exodus 3: 9-10 "Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. "

Moses had started out from the palace of Pharoah, an adopted grandson of the Pharoah. From this regal position many would have assumed that Moses was to begin the deliverance of the children of Israel, but it was not so. Moses had to be driven into harsh circumstances, stripped of his pride and power, to be a shephard to the sheep of his father-in-law. He couldn't even claim the sheep as his own.

Here Moses spent decades under the guidance of his father-in-law. Moses' time had not come yet, Moses had not yet been stripped of everything that he would have to learn to lean upon Yahweh's Power and Presence alone. Yahweh's plan was much greater, and was waiting many things to reach a crucial point. Yahweh had more in mind than just the deliverance of Israel. So it is that many years later we see a very different Moses, a humble servant. It was to this man that Yahweh revealed Himself.

Nor was it until Moses had taken off his shoes and stood upon the holy ground that the Ever-Living God revealed Moses' mission unto him. Many a man has leaped into some form of ministry with a head full of knowledge and a life full of shame. What passes as ministry these days is but a pale shadow of what Yahweh God could do, if those who would be his servants and ministers would first seek to sanctify themselves, that they might be purer vessels of the Holy Spirit and possessors of the Holy Fire of Pentecost.

Remember, it is our Father's good pleasure to give us the kingdom, and the kingdom is righteousness and peace in the Holy Ghost.

Precious Father Yahweh

I praise Your Holy Name, for You reveal Yourself to Your children and make Your ways known unto all who would seek Your Holy Face.

HalleluYah!

And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
