- LET EVERY CREATURE PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME -

 "  ....O Lord, I will praise YOU; 
Though You were angry with me,
   Your anger is turned away,
and You comfort me.

   Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
   For Yah, the Lord,
is my strength and song;
   He also has become my salvation."

   Therefore with joy you will draw water,
From the wells of salvation.

   And in that day you will say:

   "Praise the Lord, call upon His name;
Declare His deeds among the peoples,
   Make mention that His name is exalted.

   Sing to the Lord,
For He has done excellent things;
   This is known in all the earth.

   Cry out and shout,
O inhabitants of Zion,
   For great is the Holy One of
Israel in your midst."        Isaiah  Chapter 12.




Many blessings to you and yours.

But Did He Not Make Them One?

  Have we not all one Father?
Has not one God created us?
   Why do we deal treacherously with one another
By profaning the covenant of the fathers?

   Judah has dealt treacherously'
And an abomination has been committed in Israel and in JerUSAlem,

   For Judah has profaned
The Lord's Holy Institution, which He loves:
He has married the daughter of a foreign god.

   May the Lord cut off from the tents of Jacob
The man who does this, being awake and aware,
Yet who brings an offering to the Lord of hosts!

   And this is the second thing you do:
You cover the alter of the Lord with tears,
With weeping and crying;
So He does not regard the offering any more,
Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands,
Yet you say, "For what reason?"

   Because the Lord has been witness
Between you and the wife of your youth,
With whom you have dealt with treacherously;
Yet she is your companion
And your wife by covenant.

   But, did He not make them one,
Having a remanant of the Spirit?
And why one?
He seeks godly offspring.

   Therefore take heed to your spirit.
And let none deal treacherously
With the wife of his youth.

   Many Blessings to You and Yours.

"May Your Fountains Be Blessed, And May You Rejoice In The Wife Of Your Youth".

 My son, pay attention to my wisdom,
listen well to my words of insight, that you may maintain discretion, and your lips may preserve knowledge.

   For the lips of an adulteress drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;  
but in the end she is bitter as gall, 
sharp as a double-edge sword.

   Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.

   She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths are crooked,  but she knows it not.

   Now then, my sons, listen to me; 
 do not turn aside from what I say.

   Keep to a path far from her,
do not go near the door of her house.
lest you give your best strength to others
and your years to one who is cruel,
lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich another man's house.

   At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.

   You will say,
"How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!

   I would not obey my teachers
or listen to my instructors.
I have come to the brink of utter ruin
in the midst of the whole assembly".

   Drink water from your own cistern,
running water from your own well.
Should your springs overflow in the streets,
your streams of water in the public squares?

   Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with strangers.

   May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.

   A loving doe, a graceful deer-
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be captivated by her love.

   Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress?
why embrace the bosom of another man's wife?

   For a man's ways are in full view of the Lord'
and He examines all his paths.

   The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him;
the cords of  his sin hold him fast.

   He will die for lack of discipline,
led astray by his own great folly.          Proverbs  chapter - 5

   

   Peace, Joy, and many Blessings to you and yours!
