Beth Simcha

Verse of the Day

. Friday December 2024 19th day of Kislev 5785 Hebrews 1:1–3 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high Jim's comments Hebrews is one of the last letters written in the New Testament. Here is a description of Yeshua, and how powerful He is. This goes along with what Yeshua said when he said, when you have seen me, you have seen the father. (John 14:9) Yeshua is the one holding the universe together by His word, his word of Power, and one can only imagine how powerful He is to hold the universe together. This is one of those times when we are not to lean on to our own understanding but trust in the Lord with all our heart. (Prov 3:5). A friend asked me a question yesterday and I said I don’t know. I don’t know for a lot of the ways of God are mysterious. We cannot fathom His power and His ways. We try to, and people want us to try to, and try to explain all these things, but we need to be like the disciples when Yeshua calmed a storm on the Sea. The disciples marveled and said, “ Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him. (Matthew 8:23-27). Let’s remember Yeshua’s divine authority over nature and our need for faith in His power. . . . . . . . .
