Good morning,
Today as we begin this year’s topic “Israel’s History and the USA’s Response”. For the next 12 months, I will be laying the foundation beginning with Israel’s story and culminating with the USA’s tie and response. Every story has a beginning and to understand the choices of the kings, prophets, and judges, we must begin with the introduction. Every story must have a foundation so that people can see where the writer is going with the story and that’s what I will be doing in this series. I hope that you will enjoy this topic and you will share it with your friends and family.
Every structure should be built according to “Plumb” by using a device called a “plummet” so that structure would be perfectly vertical and the use of a level that ensures the walls are perfectly horizontal. It is for this reason that when a building is going to be built, the plan must be approved, every step in the process requires an inspection, and the project cannot be continued until the step has successfully passed the inspection. When a building structure is erected by eyesight alone, the building stands the propensity for being crooked; when the structure is crooked every wall and floor in the building will also be crooked (Plumb Line). Once a structure is built crooked, there is no correcting it unless it is torn down, the area cleared, and the structure is rebuilt from the ground up. Which is the reason for the exile and the New Covenant of Jesus’ blood something we will get into much later in the series.
I would like you to take a hard look at the foundation of your life and where your life has led you. Many will say, “I am Christian and my foundation is in Jesus Christ”. This is a noble thought but for many is it really the truth? As you look at your foundation and the pillars that hold you up, critically consider where your foundation has taken multiple hits causing the foundation to shake and cause small fractures. I am not here to judge you or your foundational beliefs, because our judge is the Lord G-d.

My prayer for you is that you will be blessed by this writing and that it will aid in your walk with the Lord and the development of your families. And now may the Lord bless and keep you may His light shine upon you and your families.
Father
May you be blessed by this writing and that it will be in line with your word. I pray that you will continue to shake the world and its elected leaders so that they may be silenced before you. I pray for the military, law enforcement, and EMT communities that you will be with every one of them and bring them safely home. I pray over our politicians that you will continue to shake them to their core with the message of the Ephod so that they fully understand whom they serve. I pray for the city of Stacy, the state of Minnesota, and the USA may your Spirit fall fresh upon us. I pray for the truckers who carry supplies to our communities. I thank you for healing our land with rain that refreshes the land and the storms that shake the heart of mankind. I pray for those who need a special touch from you today. Finally, I pray that my words will always be an encouragement to all who read these words in Jesus’ name I pray. May your peace be upon my family, city, state, nation, and world. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer (Psalms 19:14).
