You encourage the ones that read what you write. I depend on what you write to provide me with understanding. I know like I know that you are doing what the Lord wants you to do. But I know like I know, that I am doing what the Lord wants me to do. But I have not had the time to pursue my study the way that I have wanted to, mainly because I have been studying the electronics that has to do with setting up emergency radio communication. Years ago, I had really gotten in to Hebrew study and I had purchased all of your study materials. And when I went off in a direction that YHVH did not want me to go, which to me looked like the usual Christian path, then He would cause all kinds of obstacles that would cause me to take the direction that he wanted me to take. In my prayers, I had said, Thy Will Be Done, and so I don’t think that I was really the one making the decisions about what path to take. And I guess, it has been so different, that Jesus came to me twice to reassure me that I was on the path that he wanted me to go on. Chaim, it seems very little in my life path would be considered the “normal” most taken path. And within my spirit, He told me that he had made me the way that I am for His purposes and that He had not made any mistakes. I knew that Jesus was looking in to my heart and soul and that He knew absolutely everything about me and yet His eyes conveyed His complete love for me. The eyes of Jesus are both beautiful and penetrating. At first I was startled and felt ashamed and unworthy, but only for a brief second. Suddenly when I got to the light, it became the risen Jesus. In the corner of the garage, there was only one light hanging on a chain from a metal fixture that was over a staircase – so I started walking toward the light. When I got out of my car, I was extremely afraid. I had driven my car into a dark underground parking garage. My self esteem was extremely low and I felt that there was something very wrong with the way that I was. In the first dream that I had in which I saw Yeshua, I was in my late 30’s and married to an emotionally abusive husband. The beauty is, it is NEVER too late to build with God and live the rest of our days filled with His peace and contentment.Ĭhaim, Thank you, thank you, thank you for having taken the road that you have. The Lord builds with eternity in mind and much of the value of our choices can’t be fully realized until we’re on the other side of eternity. What a sigh of ease we can breathe knowing that our life was designed by the Master Architect and does not have to be lived out in vain shav, with empty regret. The word vain, shav can have the meaning of emptiness. Only Jesus can truly discern what the deepest desires of my heart are and to help me to choose accordingly. Heart leb and house bayith are also considered to be related words as both can mean house and heart. It is a type of wisdom and understanding that comes from discerning and being the middleman or umpire choosing between two things. What’s interesting about this word understanding, bin, is that it has the same feel as the word unless im. I believe it is a play on words with Understanding bin which come from the same Semitic root and which would explain how God is doing the building. When I meditate on Jesus being my exceedingly great reward, I am content.īoth the words house and build come from the same Hebrew root word banah which basically means to build, construct or retore. I’ve been listening to a song by Misty Edwards and meditating on a line in it “The reward of love, is love”. When we’re at a crossroad, we have to choose based on what we value most and once we do, regardless of what the road looks like after that, there’s no turning back with regret. I want God’s designs for my life, His blueprints for my “house”. Every twist and turn I make on my life’s journey is guided by my desire to know God. I start to feel a little sad, but before it turns into full-blown regret I remember why I chose what I did, and it brings me back to peace. Lately, I’ve been thinking about what I’ve missed out on and of things that I will never have. I believe life is full of give and take, and that no matter how well you balance things, you can’t always have it all. That it’s really not about choosing the path that most others do not take, but that it does have the idea that whichever road you choose, you’re sure to miss something good from the other. I’ve heard it said that “The Road Less Taken” is both the most widely read and the most misunderstood poem. One, being a conjunction such as “unless”, and the second possible root can mean “a place where two ways diverge”. The word Unless im , has two possible roots. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both. Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain… Psalm 127:1a A song of ascents of Solomon.
