Week 12 - Day1Sunday, March 16, 2025 Daily Reading Proverbs 16 if you are on Sunday Only Plan

Menorah days this week...

Line up the days of the week with the Main Isaiah 11:2 Pattern. (See Days in pull-down menu). Then we add the CreationPattern of 7's for this week as well... Knowledge of God with "Light Be!"... so on and so forth... Think about these points as the focus of your day... Going forward, we will only use initials for the Isaiah 11:2 Main Pattern... (I use my Weekly Planner to lay these Prompts out for the Week)...this incorporates my God-life into my Other-life so they become One.

This Week we follow the Pattern of 7's for the CREATION of the heavens and the earth. You may want to add the Pattern of 5's to your daily focus for extra prompts.

Let's look at what happened in the seven days with what God said when He began creating, with His Word being the only raw materials: (Read Genesis 1 & 2 for what is not listed here)... from ONMB... I appreciate this version because it shows how God addressed certain aspects of what was to be doing the action.

Day 1 God said, "LIGHT, Be!" He divided the light from the darkness. He called the light Day, and the darkness Night. There was Evening and Morning...Day One.

Day 2 God said, "FIRMAMENT, be in the midst of the waters! Divide the waters from the waters. God called the firmaments Heavens. Evening/Morning...2nd Day.

Day 3 God said, "WATERS under the heavens, be gathered together to one place-Seas. DRY LAND, Appear!"

And God said, "EARTH, bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself..." Evening/Morning... 3rd Day.

Day 4 God said, "LIGHTS, Be in the firmament of the heavens, to divide the day from the night! Be for signs and for appointed times and for days and years... to give light upon the earth! (Notice that Sun and Moon are not specifically named here.) Evening/Morning... 4th Day.

Day 5 God said, "WATERS, teem abundantly with the moving creature that has life, and fowl to fly above the earth in the open firmament of heavens." Evening/Morning... 5th day

Day 6 God said, "EARTH, bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth after its kind!"

Then God said, "WE WILL MAKE Mankind in our image, after our likeness and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, over the cattle, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth." He made them male and female and

then God said, "(Mankind) Be fruitful! Multiply! Fill the earth! Subdue it and have dominion..." ... Evening/Morning 6th Day.

And God said, "(Living creatures/Mankind) Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; it will be food for you."

Day 7 in Genesis 2:1,2 we read that God rested on the seventh day and blessed the seventh day... and sanctified it (set it apart from the rest).

Have a Sweet Sunday!

Week 12 - Day2Monday, March 17, 2025 Daily Reading Judges 1-3:6

Theme - 1God

We learn that GOD(Father-Ancient of Days, Son-Breaker of Chains, Spirit-Agent of Change) is our:

Source - God’s power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through our knowing the One who called us to His own glory and goodness. 2 Peter 1:3 CJSB

Structure - I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him will I trust. Ps 91:2 ONMB

Sufficiency - And He spoke to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made complete in weakness.” 2Cor 12:9 ONMB

Strength - The Lord is my strength and my song; He has given me victory. Ps 118:14 NLT

Security - The name of the LORD is a strong tower! The righteous run into it and are safe. Prov 18:10 ONMB

Do you KNOW God as Father now? Do you have confidence that you are truly His born-child? Did you know that He has a plan for your life?

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that every one who believes in Him would not die but would have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world so that He would condemn the world, but so that the world would be saved through Him. The one who believes in Him is not condemned: but the one who does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. John 3:16-18 ONMB

“Most definitely I say to you, unless someone would have been born from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How is a man able to be born when he is in old age? Is he able to enter his mother’s womb and be born a second time?” Y’shua (Jesus) answered, “Most certainly I say to you, unless someone would have been born out of water and Spirit he is not able to enter the Kingdom of God. What has been born of the flesh is flesh, and what has been born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:3-6 ONMB

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. Rom 10:9-10 NLT

Have you been born of the Spirit? Do you believe in your heart? Have you confessed with your mouth? You may not FEEL any different at first...but you will grow! Learn to know your Father in Heaven - God. Talk to Him often... through the happy and the sad. Come to know Him as your Source... your Structure... your Sufficiency... your Strength... and your Security. Ponder His majestic work in The Creation of the heavens and the earth... of Life with cold blood... Life with warm blood... and Mankind!

Ponder the Patterns for each day... I actually write these in my Planner to stay focused on each day.

Time for Daily P.S.A.L.M.S. Quiet Time

Have a Marvelous Monday!

Week 12 - Day3Tuesday, March 18, 2025 Daily Reading Judges 3:7-5:31

BERIT (Covenant) - B.E.R.I.T.

There are five points of God's Covenant that we use in this study and they can be related in this order...

Who What How Why Where/When ...all a very loose description that will be more clear as we go.

We will explore several acronyms/Covenant Patterns of 5's in our ten week studies... and even some 10's... and I hope the beauty will become obvious. For this week, our Pattern of Covenant 5's is: B.E.R.I.T. (this word bear-eet means covenant)

(Source) Beginning - (Who) This is the new covenant I will make with My people on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." Heb 10:16 NLT

(Structure) Example - (What) (Jesus said, ) "for I gave you an example so that you would also do just as I did." John 13:15 ONMB

(Sufficiency) Redeemer - (How) The words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart will be acceptable in Your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Ps 19:15 ONMB

(Strength) Intention - (Why) For I AM knows the thoughts, plans, and intentions that I AM thinking toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and hope. Jer 29:11 ONMB

(Security) Tomorrow/Today - (Where/When) We enjoy but a taste of heaven, a token, Today, simply a shadow of what is to come with the full blessing Tomorrow when we see Him face to Face in the New Heaven/New Earth.

Covenant is a term we don't use in our everyday language. It simply means Promise, Vow, Agreement, Treaty, Contract... look it up in a Thesaurus- my favorite dinosaur!

Though we may not use the word every day, we DO make covenants... when we buy a house or anything on credit... when we are joined to a spouse under the law of the state... basically, when we sign our signature to anything we are making a covenant... a promise... a vow... a contract.

As CHILDREN in Christ, we have the Promise that the Finished Work of the Cross is the Covenant of our acceptance with God to be His born-child and have access to all that is in His invisible Kingdom--we are Heirs with the Promise of an inheritance.

Time for Daily P.S.A.L.M.S. Quiet Time

Have a Terrific Tuesday... maybe with tacos!

Week 12 - Day4Wednesday, March 19, 2025 Daily Reading Judges 6-10

S.I.M.P.L.I.C.I.T.Y. in Christ - reminders:

We will focus on one letter of this acronym each week of our ten week study... (See Menu for more)

1 Source - "Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved." Rom 10:13 NLT

Because God is our Source... we can go to Him for all that we need. The first thing that we need as Humans is to be a relational part of His Family as His born-child. So we call on His Name and confess that we realize our predicament of being caught in the quicksand of sin... trying to meet all our needs in MyWay... living according to the rules of culture in the world... and it is not really working out all that well. We confess that we know we need a Sufficient Savior to come break the chains of bondage and set us free from sin and our own desires. We want to be a Born-Child of God!

2 Instruction - All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness... 2Tim 3:16 NKJV

3 Ministry - And all things are from God, the One Who reconciled us to Himself through Messiah and Who gave us the ministry of reconciliation... 2 Cor 5:18-19 OneNewManBible (ONMB)

4 Plan - “For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but rather so that through him, the world might be saved. John 3:16-17 CJB

5 Life.LightLove - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things came through Him, and there was not one thing that came into being without His participation. What had come in Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of mankind: John 1:1-5 OneNewManBible (ONMB)

6 Intention - Furthermore, we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called in accordance with his purpose; Rom 8:28 CJB

7 Completion - ...(Y’shua said,) “It has been completed,” John 19:30 ONMB

8 Intercession - First of all, then, I counsel that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all human beings, 1 Tim 2:1-2 CJB

9 Transformation - Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Rom 12:2 NLT

10 Y'shua - And she will give birth to a Son, and you will call His name Y’shua: for He will save His people from their sins.” Matt 1:21-22 ONMB

CHILDREN in Christ--You are new to the Kingdom and Family of God--Learn to grow in Christ with simplicity... and when you are more mature, remain in the basics of simplicity in Him.

So much to sit with HolySpirit today... Time for Daily P.S.A.L.M.S.

Quiet Time - Get your Journal and ponder S.I.M.P.L.I.C.I.T.Y.... the concept and verses above...Do you need more simplicity in your day-to-day so you can incorporate more S.I.M.P.L.I.C.I.T.Y.?

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Week 12 - Day5Thursday, March 20, 2025 Daily Reading Judges 11-16

Gospel in the Stars (Mazzarot) - STP

Mazzarot (Constellations)(Zodiak) for this week changes to the sign of the Lamb - Aries (we consult with the Maker of the Stars, not the sign). It tells that there will be Glory out of Humiliation in the Gospel in the Stars.

The ancient Hebrew meaning of this Mazzarot -The Lamb of God Proclaims Liberty

Seasons - Times - Purpose (STP)

See THURSDAY under the Days Menu for the Ecclesiastes 3 list of STP... there are 28 of them. What Season/Times/Purpose do you find yourself in Today? What Promises can you hold onto from your Father to get you through the hard ones? How can you Praise Him for the easy ones?

Time for Daily P.S.A.L.M.S. Quiet Time

Have a Thankful Thursday!

Week 12 - Day6Friday, March 21, 2025 Daily Reading Judges 17-21

CHILDREN in Christ...

Children need to learn from those who have already learned. Families have parents and aunts and uncles and grandparents to do that. It is the same in the Family of God... there are many who can help the children in the faith to grow.

Even when we are more mature in Christ, there is always someone with more wisdom and experience in this journey... so I believe we should always have elders around us in this life... they are found within the Body of Christ... maybe our local community (church). Maybe there is actually wisdom in God allowing us to have several generations of natural family as an example (grandparents)... do we glean the wisdom of the older generations? I have seen a definite decline in our culture of appreciating the wisdom of elders... and maybe an actual discard of them altogether... may this not be! May we remain humble and know that we will always be learning in this life.

The Parable of the Sower (see Menu) talks about the SEED (the Word of God) that goes into stony soil and it doesn't get deep roots. So when life gets rough, they fall away from the LORD. The Soil is the heart of a person. Children need to get God's Word into their heart to produce good soil (a heart that hungers and thirsts for Him) for that SEED (the Word) to deeply take root in. The Word is the milk... so drink up! Make the soil of your heart rich!

For our Jewish cousins, sundown tonight is the beginning of Sabbath that will continue all day tomorrow until sundown. Shabbat Shalom! (Sabbath of Peace)

Time for Daily P.S.A.L.M.S. Quiet Time You know what to do! Maybe look back over the Patterns of the whole week, too! HolySpirit will guide you... write it down so you remember it as the year rolls on.

Have a Fantastic Friday!

Week 12 - Day7Saturday, March 22, 2025 Daily Reading Psalms Book 2: Chapters 42-44

SABBATH - 1 God

Our Psalm 119 Word to ponder is

1 – WORD (43 times)

dabar (H1697) - a word, a matter, a thing (24 times)

translated 'word' and in some places 'promise'...

Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Ps 119:105 ONMB

Also...

'imrah or 'emrah (H565) - something said (19 times)

translated 'word'...

Uphold me according to Your word, so I will live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Ps 119:116 ONMB

How do you Honor the Sabbath and Keep it Holy (set apart for God)?

“Remember the day, Shabbat, to set it apart for God. You have six days to labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Shabbat for Adonai your God. On it, you are not to do any kind of work ... For in six days, Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them; but on the seventh day He rested. This is why Adonai blessed the day, Shabbat, and separated it for Himself. Ex 20:8-11 CJSB abbreviated

Remember that Psalm means Song and our life is Our LifeSong to our Father! See And Now My LifeSong Sings in Song Menu.

Time for Daily P.S.A.L.M.S. Quiet Time

Reflect on the Week - Ponder your Father- Praise for your Blessings- Gather - Worship - Rest ... However you are led to celebrate and make this Day set apart to God.

Your Father loves you! This was the first week in CHILDREN... and the final week of WINTER... Enjoy!

Have a Sacred Saturday!
