Shabbat Dawn
NAHARIYA, ISRAEL. SATURDAY 16.11.2024
Friday, “It was a challenging week. But God is good, He had given us the Shabbat. So we will rest and praise His Name and thank Him for sustaining us during it all. We are taking a Shabbat rest now and will meet again on Sunday Morning, Israeli time. God bless you, keep you, shine His face upon you, and give you peace.”
Saturday,
I wrote the above last night as my Shabbat Greeting to friends on my list. By 7:30 pm, the bed welcomed me with warmth and helped me sleep. It was a good night. We slept deep.
Woke up by 5:30 am had a shower, turned the coffee on, took a picture of the dawn, and Willie read a chapter from the bible for us. It felt like an Israeli Sabbath. Only the birds' sounds are in the air.
By 7 am a siren pierced the air. Explosions and Airplane sounds shuttered the peace around us.
Yet, since “I can do all things through the Messiah who strengthens me.” I can also thank God for the great sleep we had and continue praising Him knowing that this too shall pass and the Sabbath is still here and we do take joy in it.
(Proverb 17:22) A merry heart does good, like medicine. But a broken spirit dries the bones
Have a merry heart all you people. We'll meet again.
