And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite. -Ezekiel 16:3 


"Good morning and a happy Monday to you! The passage portrays the father of God’s people as an Amorite. Historical accounts describe the Amorites as a people who valued learning and intellectual pursuits.


God invokes the Amorites to highlight Israel’s pride in disregarding His instructions. Their mother is identified as a Hittite, a group known for their ability to negotiate, form alliances, and shape narratives to their advantage. Their talent for gathering and bending information often left them viewed as shrewd and self-interested.


When the traits of a proud Amorite and a calculating Hittite are combined, the result is a person driven by self-importance and vulnerable to corrupt thinking.


Arrogance and manipulation are both condemned by the Lord. Likewise, we must guard our hearts so that neither gains influence in our lives.

  Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. -Luke 19:30 Good morning and tremendous Tuesday to you! During Passion Week, we witnessed the fulfillment of prophecies regarding Christ, as demonstrated by how effortlessly the disciples found the animal needed for the events. This highlights Jesus's preeminence, as he orchestrated everything in accordance with prophecy.  When Jesus directed the disciples to an unburdened beast of burden, it symbolized that the weight of his mission would be uniquely His to bear.  The choice of such an animal harks back to Jesus's humble birth in Bethlehem, and the peaceful nature of a young colt signifies his initial arrival in peace. However, it also foreshadows his eventual return as a mighty warrior and conqueror. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome. Co...

  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. -Romans 10:17  Good morning and happy hump day to you!    Why is it important to listen? Simply because faith comes to and through your ears. In similitude fear travels the same path.  What you hear you think about and over time your thinking effects your belief system. This is why it is important to listen to the right people.  This said beloved, guard those gates, chase down what may sneak in and put it under subjection to Christ.  #prayforthepeaceofIsrael   God bless you and command your day!!!
