Too Impatient for Patience? Can You Really Afford the Cost?

A True Hebrew Laments, Confesses & Repents…

²⁸For he is not a Yehudite  (Hebrew/Jew) who is so outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. ²⁹But a Yehudite (Hebrew/Jew) is he who is so inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in Spirit, not literally, whose praise is not from men but from Elohim.
(Romans 2:28-29)

When we choose to surrender to Torah (YaH’s righteous guidelines found in both the Original Covenant (OT) and the New Covenant (NT), will yield YaH’s (not ours) the desired results.  Personally, YaH has and continues to work on me in this area of patience as far back as I can remember.  We all need to have patience, as it works a good work in us…it takes patience waiting on the promise of eternity…so why not begin practicing patience and resting with a quiet spirit while we wait for Messiah’s return.

But that’s a beautiful thing and I’m glad about it!  Anything worth having requires patience and diligence.  Therefore I attest and avow that the true sign of patience is this, a quiet spirit.  Selah



Based on Lamentations 3:26, which reads: 

“It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of YHVH”

Patience’s good work is part of the good work of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), which YHVH promised to complete in us.  However, we need to participate in the process since we have a free will to choose (accept or reject) how the Ruach is leading us. 

The Torah (YHVH’s guidelines for righteous living) and the Master Yeshua’s Shabbat (Sabbath) were all created and given to us as gifts.  Yeshua modeled the Torah, which is the ancient  pathway to our eternal rest.  And, we have no rest or peace apart from Yeshua as HE is the bridge to our reconciled relationship with YHVH. 

“And YHVH spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘You shall be holy, for I YHVH your Elohim am holy.

³ ‘Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and keep My Sabbaths: I am YHVH your Elohim”    (Leviticus 19:1-3)

Because of Yeshua, we now have the opportunity to spend eternity with HIM vs. going to hell for failure to come to repentance from sin – especially because sin is what separated us from ELOHIM (GOD). 

We have no rest (Shabbat) without the RESToration of Yeshua’s atonement through the shedding of HIS innocent blood for our sin.  Once we have made our confession of faith, let us remain mindful to not choose to stray from living apart from Torah, which sadly is living apart from Yeshua).  Instead, let us continue our race, not allowing the traditions of men to hinder us…but let us complete that which is placed in front of us.  Living apart from Torah, is death and defeat.  Besides, we’re called to be “more than conquerors!”

³³Who shall bring any charge against Elohim’s chosen ones? It is Elohim who is declaring right. ³⁴Who is he who is condemning? It is Messiah who died, and furthermore is also raised up, who is also at the right hand of Elohim, who also makes intercession for us. ³⁵Who shall separate us from the love of the Messiah? Shall pressure, or distress, or persecution, or scarcity of food, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? ³⁶As it has been written, “For Your sake we are killed all day long, we are reckoned as sheep of slaughter.” ³⁷But in all this we are more than overcomers (conquerors) through Him who loved us. ³⁸For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor messengers nor principalities nor powers, neither the present nor the future, ³⁹nor height nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of Elohim which is in Messiah our Master (Romans 8:33-39)

YaH’s righteous guidelines for living a life of trust (faith) so we can be found well-pleasing to HIM is found in both Testaments (Covenants).  In the Original Testament we have the written guidelines (also known as Torah – the laws, commandments, statutes and precepts); and in the New Testament, we have the living Torah, which is Yeshua the Messiah, who is the “Word which dwelt among us as our example.  He is ultimately the One whose death and resurrection gave us victory over our “inherited” sinful natures.  Now, we have access to our new inheritance – a clean and forgiven life.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”  (1 John 1:1-3)

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)

Shalom (perfecting peace) to those near and to those far off, as we patiently wait for His return…

Let us be thankful for our seasons, Shabbats and Holy Feasts unto YHVH the Father, Creator and Righteous Judge for our preparation for holy habitation with Yeshua the Messiah!
