Jude verses 24-25
We trust in Father GOD Who is able to preserve us upon the earth and to present us to Himself in glory. He is The One Who makes us able to endure and to stand in the storms of this life. We learn how to rejoice in Him in the overwhelming waves of sorrows.
For many years Joseph's dreams were shattered and he suffered many years in prison for a crime he did not commit, but GOD preserved him and prepared him to fulfill GOD 's plan for his life.
See Psalm 105:17-19
Genesis 45:4-8
In every generation The LORD raises up Josephs whose characters are proved, tested refined and established in GOD' s strength to preserve a remnant of true lovers of Him who will do His will upon the earth.
When things seem "foggy" or we feel "walled in" we must trust in our LORD to lead us.
Isaiah 54:17.
Our enduring strength for this life depends on our consistent intimacy with The Holy Spirit.
Selah
Shalom

The Beautiful Heart Of GOD Part 7
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says GOD makes everything beautiful in His time. The Hebrew word for "beautiful" is "Yapah", meaning physical, moral or spiritual beauty or excellence, fitting, appropriate, to be radiant and to shine forth and a wonder.
We see it's use in Genesis 12:11 describing Sarah's physical beauty , Psalm 71:7 which speaks of GOD's care for David from his mother's womb and that GOD has made him a wonder to many, which is the Hebrew word "mopheth" and comes from the root word "yapah" and Psalm 94:1where the psalmist asks GOD to reveal Himself and shine forth, again using the Hebrew word "Yapah".
This word "Yapah" is a term used by craftsmen and artists who fit together various parts needed to create something such as a house, or a painting, an embroidery or even putting together a jigsaw. The artist takes immense pleasure not only from revealing their finished masterpiece, but in the process of putting it all together.
This is the imagery of Psalm 139:13-16 especially if you read these verses in the Amplified translation.
In verse 16 of Psalm 139 the words "unformed substance" in the Hebrew are the word "golem" which means something that is wrapped up, like a gift.
Within the human embryo all the parts of the human being are already there, but not yet shaped or fitted together in their appropriate positions. Like a jigsaw puzzle with all the pieces in the box, all the pieces are there to form a picture, but not yet fitted together, piece by piece.
GOD knits us together, spirit, soul and body within the womb. (See Psalm 139:13 and I Thessalonians 5:23)
Elohim, our Creator, our Heavenly Father takes immense pleasure in creating each of us. Every stage of development is precious to Him, both within the womb and as we develop as people on this camping trip of this life. He makes us, and everything beautiful, in His time.
Shalom shalom.

The Beautiful Heart Of GOD Part 6
In the Hebrew text of Jeremiah 31:20 we see an astounding expression of GOD's heart towards His own.
Jeremiah 31 is often known as the Book Of Consolation. Up to this point Jeremiah has warned the people of Judah of the pending judgement of Yahweh against the consistent idolatry of the people, in particular that of child sacrifice to Baal and Moloch and the shedding of much innocent blood.
(for example See 2 Kings 21) Judgement came at this time through King Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians destroying The Temple and Jerusalem and the people being carried into captivity in Babylon between 597 and 586 BC
Jeremiah 31 prophecies of the restoration God's people to their land, a process initiated by Cyrus The Great in 538 BC, which we read about in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. These prophecies are just as relevant today as after again the Jewish people were exiled around the globe when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in AD 70, since the rebirth of the nation of Israel in May 1948, the Jewish people, the physical seed of Abraham have been returning to their homeland as promised to Abraham ( See Genesis 12:1-3 and 15:18-21).
Let's now focus on the astoundingly tender and expressive words used in the Hebrew text of Jeremiah 31:20
The name Ephraim means "Doubly Fruitful" and Jewish rabbis teach us that GOD used the name Ephraim when His people had broken His heart. The English translations say He calls Ephraim His "dear son" or "darling son" , but in the Hebrew text it is the word used is "yakir" meaning "extremely precious and rare". It is a term used for something that is priceless. Although Ephraim had broken GOD's heart, they were still extremely precious to Him. He then says that Ephraim is a delightful or pleasant child, which in The Hebrew text is the word "sh'shua" which means "delightful" and expresses the joy and delight experienced by a parent watching their child at play. GOD then says He earnestly remembers them but the Hebrew is much more emphatic than the English translation conveys. The word "zacar" is repeated for emphasis. He remember remembers them, meaning they are constantly on His mind. Did you know that you and I are constantly on Abba Father's mind as if we were each His one and only child?
See Psalm 139:17-18
Then The LORD says that His inward parts are moved witg affection and yearning for Ephraim. In fact the Hebrew word used here is "me'ai" which as well as meaning internal organs such as the bowels is also used metaphorically for the womb.
Then we have an even more direct reference to the womb with the repetition of the Hebrew word "racham". This word is extremely passionate and tender. It is the unconditional, limitless, compassionate, tender, caressing love of GOD, far stronger than the Greek word Agape. It is also the word for the womb. GOD loves us from the womb of His being. He says He racham rachams Ephraim. He racham rachams you and I. Although Ephraim broke GOD's beautiful tender heart, He emphasises His eternal love for him. His love, His racham, for each of His own children is a yearning passionate and compassionate everlasting love. This verse in the Hebrew text is deeply emotional and tender and reveals to us in even deeper dimensions the Beautiful Heart Of GOD.
Shalom

The Beautiful Heart Of GOD Part 5
We are continuing to look at the Hebrew word "racham" meaning the caressing, compassionate, overflowing, unconditional intensely focused without limitation love of GOD. In Hosea 2:23 the word "mercy" used in many English translations does not convey the meaning of the Hebrew text adequately. The Hebrew word for "mercy" is "chesed". The word here is not that word "chesed" but it is the word "racham". It is a caressing tender love such as a mother has for her newborn baby in her arms and within her womb. It is a love that is sacrificial, nurturing, full of mercy and compassion.
Racham love has no "because" attached to it . Racham love is not earned nor deserved.
GOD Himself is the total embodiment of racham love. He is the ultimate bearer of racham in the most intense form that can be. In the New Testament the word "Agape" is used to express the unconditional love of GOD but it lacks the intense focused passion found in the Hebrew word "racham". There is no limitation to this racham of GOD.
The apostle Paul quotes Hosea 2:23 in Romans 9:24-26 to show how GOD's plan of salvation has always been for both the Jewish nation of Israel and the Gentile nations of the world.
It is interesting to note that the name "Hosea" or "Hoshea" in Hebrew, means "salvation". It is the same name that originally belonged to Joshua before Moses changed it (See Numbers 13:6). The name "Hoshea" means salvation. Moses changed it however to "Yehoshua" ( Joshua in English) which means "Yahweh saves". This is the full form of The Name of of The LORD "Yeshua" , or in Greek, "Jesus". His Name means "Yahweh saves".
There is a wonderful hymn written in 1917 by Frederick Lehman about the love of GOD. The third verse however was written by Rabbai Meir of Worms in Germany on the walls of his prison cell. He had been trying to escape from the horrific persecution of the Jews in the 13th century, by fleeing to The Holy Land. The words he scrawled on his prison cell where he died in 1293, convey quite profoundly his understanding of the Racham of GOD.
"Could we with ink the ocean fill
and were the skies of parchment made,
were ev’ry stalk on earth a quill
and ev’ry man a scribe by trade,
to write the love of God above
would drain the ocean dry;
nor could the scroll contain the whole,
tho' stretched from sky to sky"
English translation of the words of Rabbi Meir ben Baruch 1215-1293
