God’s Verdict for You is Peace

My soul yearns for You in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for You.

Isaiah 26:9

Reading these words just does something to our spirit. Knowing prophet Isaiah, like many other men and women of God in the Bible, yearned for the Lord day and night; it truly touches something within our own soul and revives the desire in us to seek the Lord.

These words are an inner prayer, or an expression of what we feel inside for the Lord. Isaiah was expressing just how much He loves God, and it’s contagious.

As a pastor, when I share in front of the whole congregation my desire for the Lord, my experience with Him — it blessed others, as the passion for our Lord is contagious.

I want to encourage you; speak to people around you, especially with your family and loved ones about how much you love God, how much you seek Him and yearn for Him. Not in order to boast and show how “spiritual” you are, but just to share the genuine desire for God that’s in your heart.

Lord, You establish peace for us, all that we have accomplished, You have done for us.

Isaiah 26:12

In Hebrew the word for “establish peace” is tishpot, which refers to what a judge does in a court of law. Meaning, God’s verdict for us will be peace.

I pray that you will continue to seek the Lord, while being filled with passion for Him and desire to walk in His ways. May it transform you, give you boldness and humility. May His verdict over your life be PEACE.

His Protection, His Peace, His Blessing Over You

Praying for you from Biblical Jaffa:
God still has the final Word

Shalom from Jaffa—biblical Joppa, one of the ancient cities of Israel and a place where remarkable events recorded in Scripture unfolded. As I stand here today, I am praying for you. I may not know exactly what you are facing as you read these words, what situation you have been bringing before the Lord, or what has […]

The beginning they didn’t expect
Finding new life in Israel

Anna had only recently made Aliyah with her three children. As a single mother, she was beginning again in Israel with a 20-year-old son and two daughters, sixteen and five—new surroundings, a new rhythm of life, and so much still uncertain. Then, during one of our recent times together with new Olim, our team began […]

How will they hear?
Bringing the gospel within reach

There are Israelis who have lived their entire lives in the land of the Bible and have never once heard the Gospel clearly explained to them. They know the names of Abraham, Moses, David, and the prophets. They walk the same land where Yeshua lived and ministered. Many know His name—but know Him only as the […]
