Day 226 Readings
Torah Reading: Shoftim, 2nd Portion Deuteronomy 17:14-20
(ii) 14 “When you have entered the land Adonai your God is giving you, have taken possession of it and are living there, you may say, ‘I want to have a king over me, like all the other nations around me.’ 15 In that event, you must appoint as king the one whom Adonai your God will choose. He must be one of your kinsmen, this king you appoint over you — you are forbidden to appoint a foreigner over you who is not your kinsman. 16 However, he is not to acquire many horses for himself or have the people return to Egypt to obtain more horses, inasmuch as Adonai told you never to go back that way again. 17 Likewise, he is not to acquire many wives for himself, so that his heart will not turn away; and he is not to acquire excessive quantities of silver and gold.

14 “You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates. 15 Each day you shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and has set his heart on it; lest he cry out against you to the Lord, and it be sin to you.
16 “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin.

365 Daily Kingdom Living
Deovtionals
Man’s promises will change. Man's thoughts will change. Man will change. Time and time again an uncountable amount of things will change. Jesus Christ, our God will not change. His promises never change. His character will never change. His love for us has never changed from the moment we were born. What about our love for God? Do you keep changing depending on circumstances. Do you keep changing depending on how God answers your prayers?
Prayer: Holy Spirit, help us to grow in our intimate relationship with God each day. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Scripture
Nehemiah 7
Nehemiah 8
9 And Nehemiah, who was the [w]governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn nor weep.” For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law.
10 Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
11 So the Levites quieted all the people, saying, “Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved.” 12 And all the people went their way to eat and drink, to send portions and rejoice greatly, because they understood the words that were declared to them.
1 Corinthians 9:1-12
3 My defense to those who examine me is this: 4 Do we have no [b]right to eat and drink? 5 Do we have no right to take along [c]a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working? 7 Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock?
8 Do I say these things as a mere man? Or does not the law say the same also? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it oxen God is concerned about? 10 Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope. 11 If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? 12 If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more?
Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ.
Psalm 33:12-22
12 How blessed is the nation whose God is Adonai,the people he chose as his heritage!
13 Adonai looks out from heaven;he sees every human being;14 from the place where he liveshe watches everyone living on earth,15 he who fashioned the hearts of them alland understands all they do.
16 A king is not saved by the size of his army,a strong man not delivered by his great strength.17 To rely on a horse for safety is vain,nor does its great power assure escape.
18 But Adonai’s eyes watch over those who fear him,over those who wait for his grace 19 to rescue them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 We are waiting for Adonai;he is our help and shield. 21 For in him our hearts rejoice,because we trust in his holy name. 22 May your mercy, Adonai, be over us,because we put our hope in you.
Proverbs 21:11-12
11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
Dear AVI,

I have not felt YOU in the longest time. Why have YOU gone away from me??? Forgive me YESHUA for my sins, cleans me from all that I have done that have hurt YOU. Fill me withYOUR love and Truth and Grace, fill me O LORD GOD and take care of me. O LORD GOD Almighty, do not go away from me, come back to me ADONAI. Where have YOU gone??? Do not leave me because YOU promised YOUR presence will always go before me behind me, surround me. I believe YOU are with me even though I do not feel YOU. Forgive my sins against YOU, and heal me, make me just like brand new. Make me brand new O GOD. I cannot do anything or be fruitful for YOU because I am broken still. My own family has broken myheart today therefore I am fearing in my home, in my own space. But take away all my fears O GOD, take away all my fears and worries, give me a new hope. Why do you give me a new name and face??? This person keeps coming back to my mind since yesterday. This person that I met in church but who is not a church person. I met him in church because of Psyco mental health. But I pray that you will save him, Dominique A. I believe that is his name, I pray that YOU speak YOUR words to him, fill him with YOUR love and power and heal him with YOUR love. I pray that YOU save him and his entire family. Encounter Dominque KING JESUS, meet him the way YOU have been meeting with me since 2020. I pray that he will know YOU differently from how people know YOU in church. Please AVI, take care of me, take care of my Prince Mosab Hassan Yousef and save his loved ones Gonen Ben Yitzak and his family, his father and mother Sheik Hassan Yousef and Sabha Abu Salem, all his siblings and all that is in his heart. I will always love Mosab because he is the one YOU revealed to me since 2021 and he is indeed the man born in Zion. I pray save Jeannie Rose Gulfan and her husband, may they be married in church. I pray that YOU save many many people O GOD and heal the sick, Brother Benett Silario and Teacher Liz O GOD, I pray for healing and anointing come upon us all and revive YOUR church in the last days. And I pray I will be able to dance for YOU one of these Sundays O GOD. I pray, I pray that I will dance joyfully for YOU.
Ba HaShem YESHUA HaMashiach, Amen!
