Reflections

Psalm 34:8 KJV O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

In the above verse, the Psalmist David challenges us to test for ourselves the goodness of the Lord. It reinforces the belief that there is no greater witness than that of personal experience. This walk of faith is personal. It is impacted by the things we encounter daily or learn along the way of life. Everyone’s spiritual path and level of maturity is different, but they should all be built upon the same biblical foundational truths. The Word of God is living and active. It was written from a point and place in history. But through the unmatchable genius of our Heavenly Father, the Word is relevant and will speak through any point in time, continuously revealing truth and wisdom. Though my reflections are just a tiny fraction of perception, there are immeasurable revelations that can be learned from every chapter and verse from Genesis to Revelation. Taste and Sea Reflections is an inside look at my thoughts as I reflect upon scripture through the viewpoint of biblical hospitality, the mindset of a servant, and the similarities and differences between Jewish and Christian identities. As we explore together the culture and characteristics of being followers of "The Way," we will seek out to discover more about who we are and who God is. I am not a teacher and certainly not a scholar. This is not an imposition of doctrine. I am just a sister in Christ/The Moshiach that wants to share what is on my heart and mind to allow our Heavenly Father to use it however He sees fit. I am casting a net, but Jesus/Yeshua is the one who fills it. Reflections is simply an opportunity to foster personal growth. My hope is that my quiet moments of introspection would encourage you to develop your relationship with The Lord and deepen your intimacy with Him. For it is through intimacy with The Most High God where you will find those personal experiences that will strengthen you and stretch you in ways you cannot imagine. Though our paths may be different, we are each on a journey, moving towards a place of eternity. I pray these reflections will help you to develop the culture of your home and reflect the character of your Creator.

Genesis 2: Dominion and Stewardship

Today, our focus draws attention to the topics of dominion and stewardship. In Genesis Chapter 2, we find the final day of Creation week and a more detailed account of the creation of man and woman from day 6. While at first glance they appear to be two independent subjects, I will show you how I see they tie together. In 3 short verses, the 7th day is summarized as the day God rested from his work of Creation. In verse 2 it is stated, “And on the seventh day God finished his

Genesis 1: What are you creating?

Genesis. The first book of the Bible and where our journey begins. Genesis Chapter 1 could seemingly be the most influential chapter in the Bible. It is the first words God appointed to have communicated to the reader and likely the most read chapter in all of scripture. Where do you start when reading a book? In the beginning, of course. So every unbeliever who ever picked up a Bible out of curiosity perhaps read at least the first chapter of Genesis. If given one chance to

The Holiday Spirit Part 4

We began this reflective journey to discover why the end of the year is so “festive” for many religions and cultures and why it leads to a greater tendency to do good and be less self-centered. I propose to you that we may be able to trace it back to the Tower of Babel. I will explain. First, let us come full circle and summarize what we have seemingly learned about the “holiday spirit” so far. It is a real enough phenomenon to make it into a dictionary. It is the “feel
