Friday
1 Come, let’s sing to Adonai! Let’s shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation!
2 Let’s come into his presence with thanksgiving; let’s shout for joy to him with songs of praise.
3 For Adonai is a great God, a great king greater than all gods.
4 He holds the depths of the earth in his hands; the mountain peaks too belong to him.
5 The sea is his — he made it — and his hands shaped the dry land.
6 Come, let’s bow down and worship; let’s kneel before Adonai who made us.
7 For he is our God, and we are the people in his pasture, the sheep in his care.
If only today you would listen to his voice:
8 “Don’t harden your hearts, as you did at M’rivah, as you did on that day at Massah in the desert,
9 when your fathers put me to the test; they challenged me, even though they saw my work.
10 For forty years I loathed that generation; I said, ‘This is a people whose hearts go astray,
they don’t understand how I do things.’
11 Therefore I swore in my anger that they would not enter my rest.”
Dear Avi Shabashamayim,
Great are YOU O GOD! I bless YOU Adonai Elohim, King of the Universe, My Everlasting!!! There is no ONE like YOU, my GOD my refuge, my strength, my portion, my shelter, my fortress, my deliverer and redeemer, the ONE in whom I trust! Forgive me for all my wrongs and for falling short of YOUR glory, forgive me, and may the blood of YESHUA cleanse me and may YOUR Word O GOD, cleanse my spirit. Everyday Adonai I enjoy our time when YOU sit with me and teach me YOUR ways, when YOU speak to me, is how my heart longs for, and how my mind and body thrives, when YOU are near me. So help me Adonai to always please YOU and to keep my eyes focused on YOU. Keep me focused on YOU, so that my joy will always be complete because I can only live when I am joyful in YOU.
Exodus 8:19-9:16
(vi) 19 (23) Yes, I will distinguish between my people and your people, and this sign will happen by tomorrow.”’” 20 (24) Adonai did it: terrible swarms of insects went into Pharaoh’s palace and into all his servants’ houses — the insects ruined the entire land of Egypt.
21 (25) Pharaoh summoned Moshe and Aharon and said, “Go, and sacrifice to your God here in the land.” 22 (26) But Moshe replied, “It would be inappropriate for us to do that, because the animal we sacrifice to Adonai our God is an abomination to the Egyptians. Won’t the Egyptians stone us to death if before their very eyes we sacrifice what they consider an abomination? 23 (27) No, we will go three days’ journey into the desert and sacrifice to Adonai our God, as he has ordered us to do.” 24 (28) Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, so that you can sacrifice to Adonai your God in the desert. Only you are not to go very far away. Intercede on my behalf.” 25 (29) Moshe said, “All right, I am going away from you, and I will intercede with Adonai; so that tomorrow, the swarms of insects will leave Pharaoh, his servants and his people. Just make sure that Pharaoh stops playing games with the people by preventing them from going and sacrificing to Adonai.”
26 (30) Moshe left Pharaoh and interceded with Adonai, 27 (31) and Adonai did what Moshe had asked: he removed the swarms of insects from Pharaoh, his servants and his people — not one remained. 28 (32) But this time, too, Pharaoh made himself stubborn and didn’t let the people go.
9 Then Adonai said to Moshe, “Go to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘Here is what Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, so that they can worship me. 2 If you refuse to let them go and persist in holding on to them, 3 the hand of Adonai is on your livestock in the field — on the horses, donkeys, camels, cattle and flocks — and will make them suffer a devastating illness. 4 But Adonai will distinguish between Egypt’s and Isra’el’s livestock — nothing belonging to the people of Isra’el will die.”’” 5 Adonai determined the exact time by saying, “Tomorrow Adonai will do this in the land.” 6 The following day, Adonai did it — all the livestock of Egypt died; but not one of the animals belonging to the people of Isra’el died. 7 Pharaoh investigated and found that not even one of the animals of the people of Isra’el had died. Nevertheless, Pharaoh’s heart remained stubborn, and he didn’t let the people go.
8 Adonai said to Moshe and Aharon, “Take handfuls of ashes from a kiln, and let Moshe throw them in the air before Pharaoh’s eyes. 9 They will turn into fine dust over all the land of Egypt and become infected sores on men and animals throughout Egypt.” 10 So they took ashes from a kiln, stood in front of Pharaoh and threw them in the air; and they became infected sores on men and animals. 11 The magicians couldn’t even stand in Moshe’s presence because of the sores, which were on them as well as on the other Egyptians. 12 But Adonai made Pharaoh hardhearted, so that he didn’t listen to them — just as Adonai had said to Moshe.
13 Adonai said to Moshe, “Get up early in the morning, stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘Here is what Adonai says: “Let my people go, so that they can worship me. 14 For this time, I will inflict my plagues on you, yourself, and on your officials and your people; so that you will realize that I am without equal in all the earth. 15 By now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with such severe plagues that you would have been wiped off the earth. 16 But it is for this very reason that I have kept you alive — to show you my power, and so that my name may resound throughout the whole earth.6 “Therefore be very firm about keeping and doing everything written in the book of the Torah of Moshe and not turning aside from it either to the right or to the left. 7 Then you won’t become like those nations remaining among you. Don’t even mention the name of their gods, let alone have people swear by them, serve them or worship them; 8 but cling to Adonai your God, as you have done to this day. 9 This is why Adonai has driven out great, strong nations ahead of you; and it explains why no one has prevailed against you to this day, 10 why one man of you has chased a thousand — it is because Adonai your God has fought on your behalf, as he said to you.
11 “Therefore take great care to love Adonai your God. 12 Otherwise, if you retreat and cling to the remnant of these other nations remaining among you, if you make marriages with them and have children with them and they with you, 13 know for certain that Adonai your God will stop driving out these nations from your sight. Instead, they will become a snare and a trap for you, whipping your sides and pricking your eyes, until you perish from this good land which Adonai your God has given you.
14 “Today I am going the way of all the earth. Therefore consider in all your heart and being that not one of all the good things Adonai your God said concerning you has failed to happen; it has all come to pass; nothing of it has failed. 15 Nevertheless, just as all the good things Adonai your God promised you have come upon you, likewise Adonai will bring upon you all the bad things too, until he has destroyed you from this good land which Adonai your God has given you. 16 When you violate the covenant of Adonai your God, which he ordered you to obey, and go and serve other gods and worship them, then the anger of Adonai will blaze up against you; and you will perish quickly from the good land which he has given you!”
Avi Yakar,along with the wickedness of Shomron. For they keep practicing deceit;
thieves break in, bands of robbers raid outside.
2 They never say to themselves that I remember all their evil.
Now their own deeds surround them; they are right in front of me.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the leaders with their lies.
4 They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker, who doesn’t stoke the fire
from kneading time till the dough has risen.
5 “On their king’s special day the leaders inflame him with wine,
and he joins hands with scorners, 6 who ready themselves like an oven
while they wait for their chance. Their baker sleeps through the night;
then in the morning it bursts into flame.
7 They are all as hot as an oven, and they devour their judges.
All their kings have fallen; not one of them calls out to me.
8 “Efrayim mixes himself with the peoples, Efrayim has become a half-baked cake.
9 Foreigners have eaten up his strength, but he doesn’t know it;
yes, gray hairs appear on him here and there, but he doesn’t know it.
10 The pride of Isra’el testifies in his face, but in spite of all this they haven’t returned
to Adonai their God or sought him.
11 Efrayim behaves like a silly, foolish dove —going to Egypt, then to Ashur for help.
12 Even as they go, I will spread my net over them; I will bring them down like birds from the sky;
I will discipline them, as their assembly was told.
13 Woe to them! for they have strayed from me. Destruction to them! for they have wronged me.
Am I supposed to redeem them, when they have spoken lies against me?
14 They have not cried out to me from their hearts, even though they wail on their beds.
They assemble themselves for grain and wine, yet turn away from me.
15 It was I who trained and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.
16 They return, but not upward; they are like an unreliable bow.
Their leaders will die by the sword because of their angry talk.
They will become a laughingstock in the land of Egypt.
11 But the crowds found out and followed him. Welcoming them, he went on to speak to them about the Kingdom of God and to heal those who needed to be healed.
17 Everyone ate as much as he wanted; and they took up what was left over, twelve baskets full of broken pieces.
20 “But you,” he said to them, “who do you say I am?” Kefa answered, “The Mashiach of God!”
23 Then to everyone he said, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him say ‘No’ to himself, take up his execution-stake daily and keep following me. 24 For whoever tries to save his own life will destroy it, but whoever destroys his life on my account will save it. 25 What will it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but destroys or forfeits his own life? 26 For if someone is ashamed of me and of what I say, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and that of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 I tell you the truth, there are some people standing here who will not experience death until they see the Kingdom of God.”
48 and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the One who sent me. In other words, the one who is least among you all — this is the one who is great.”
50 Yeshua said to him, “Don’t stop such people, because whoever isn’t against you is for you.”
57 As they were traveling on the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 Yeshua answered him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds flying about have nests, but the Son of Man has no home of his own.” 59 To another he said, “Follow me!” but the man replied, “Sir, first let me go away and bury my father.” 60 Yeshua said, “Let the dead bury their own dead; you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God!” 61 Yet another said, “I will follow you, sir, but first let me say good-by to the people at home.” 62 To him Yeshua said, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and keeps looking back is fit to serve in the Kingdom of God.”

Dear Avi,
Toda Raba for being someONE I can rely on, depend on, to be perfect, to be everything that I ever need. Toda for every provision of YOUR grace, power, and love. Toda Raba that there is peace and not war, everybody is healed from any sickness, for the helpers that make our lives comfortable. I pray dear LORD, that YOU provide for every need of our workers and that YOU give us the best workers for our Company. Avi, prepare my younger siblings to take over the business and may YOU give them a deep love for one another. Me, I really don't' see myself taking over because I see myself doing something else for YOU Avi, for my country, or the US, the country of my husband. I don't know, YOU take me wherever YOU, I follow. Avi, I praise YOU and worship YOU Adonai. How I love these peaceful and quiet afternoons that I can share with YOU! Toda Raba... Speak to me once again like YOU did before and enable me to never eat dinner again unless there is a special occassion.
Ba HaShem YESHUA, HaMashiach, Amen!
