Bought water today for upcoming road trip to a women’s conference.
Thought about how often it feels like we go from waist deep in the Word, to the feeling of barefooted, walking through a dry creek bed. Anyone?
Went looking for “thirst” in Hebrew.
#6770, tsame’. The letter pictures speak this to me. (Gosh, I love Hebrew)
On my knees, hands lifted in prayer and praise, “thirsty” for the First love of my life, Jesus.
Tsadik, Mem, Alef. (Reading the letters pictured right to left)
I wonder if the Lord allows us to get a bit “dry” to prepare our empty vessel for an overflowing drink of water.
Can’t wait Lord, fill me up!!
“Ho! Everyone who thirst,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.”
Isaiah 55:1 NKJV
Thirsty – tsame’ – Tsadik, Mem, Alef

“Taste and see that the LORD is good…” Psalm 34:8 (NIV)
Taste – the Hebrew word (ta’am) taw-am’
Word Revelation:
Wrapping your eye around the movement of the Holy Spirit.
“…the disciples pressed Him, “Rabbi, eat. Aren’t You going to eat?”

Blessed is the man who trust in Him!
…Those who see the LORD shall not lack any good thing. ”
“Sigh in silence, make no mourning…bind your turban on your head, and put your sandals on your feet…and do not eat man’s bread of sorrow.” Ezekiel 24:15-17 NKJV
“Put on your sandals, your new hat too.
I AM about to change your thinking,
And make your address new.
So don’t walk about discouraged,
Covered in shades of blue.
Trust in Me,
I have good plans for you.
Stay away from man’s bread of sorrow,
Eating up your today, and worrying about tomorrow.
Your blessings are here, and in this hour.
Embrace this “season” of new,
For I have equipped you.
Not by your will or strength, but by
My Love and Power!”
After much Word and prayer, my Jesus has led me here. Embracing a new “season” where in the “natural” makes no sense or reason. But this I know is sure, listening to His Voice, I am embracing a new open door.
Thank you WordPress friend for always welcoming back my pen.
I pray you each are well;
I’ve missed our

“Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me…” Exodus 19:5 (KJV)

“Issachar is a strong donkey, crouching between the sheepfolds.” Genesis 49:14
Yesterday, I went looking for the first mention of the word “strong”.
It actually means, “skeleton of the body, and bones.”
I thought this strange.
This morning, the verse came to mind again, only the word “crouching”.
In the Hebrew the word is actually #7257 – “lying”.
Issachar was Leah’s 5th son. Five reflects – Favor and Grace!
“And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son…Issachar.” Genesis 30:17
Of the tribe of Issachar it is said they are
“Mighty men of valor” and “Ready for war”. 1 Chronicles 7:1-5
Of all the tribes, Issachar…
“of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…” 1 Chronicles 12:32
Back to “crouching.” The word comes from the root Hebrew word #7257 “lying”
“Rabats” or Reysh, Bet, Tsadak.
As I thought on the word picture,
Man’s (Reysh) dwelling (Bet – our heart and body) in praise and prayer (Tsadik) – between two sheepfolds. (Tsadik is one of my favorites because it looks like the one of kneeling or standing in praise)
Issachar is crouched down in a position of praise and prayer between two sheepfolds (our family and the world).
And of “strong” – Issachar knows
To his bone,
down to his core,
to the marrow of his “skeleton”
only through Praise and Prayer, through the Favor and Grace of Jesus Christ,
Protection for our family,
Discernment and understand for the times we live in.
And knowing, in this position of prayer and praise,
When troubles come upon us, we know…
What we “ought to do”!! Wisdom and Discernment
“Issachar is a strong donkey, crouching between two sheepfolds.”
Even when the whole world thinks we are a “donkey”; we are Mighty men of valor and ready for war in the position of praise and prayer!!
Mighty men and women of God,
Praise on!!
Reysh – 20th Hebrew Letter Word Picture: Head (of a man) Meaning: A person, the first, the highest, in the beginning.Bet – 2nd letter in the Hebrew alphabet Picture of a “tent or house” Within, heart, begin to, build, family.Tsadik the 18th letter of Hebrew Picture of a “fishhook” or “hook” To catch, desire, to grasp, to praise Can you see the man standing, lifted hands in praise?

Numerical Value – Eighty
Methuselah – Genesis 5:25
“…when Methuselah had lived one hundred and eighty-seven years…”
He was the Grandfather of Noah, whose name means “rest”.
Eighty – richness, fatness, oil – shine. Used to anoint objects or kings!
Overall richness, strength (as asurplus above the perfect “seven”).
From the Strong’s Hebrew definition #8084 & #8083 of the first mention for “eighty”
PsalmEighty One: 10 “Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.”
Noah…”And the dove came back to him (Noah) in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf.”
Pey – the Word speaks…
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with Peace.
“God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.” Genesis 9:17
Peace on Earth
Rainbow of the Sea of Galilee
“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”
I woke up thinking about the green color of our swimming pool.
My husband, armed with sanitizing items for war,
is waging a fierce battle.
His mission,
to see the “blue!”
“Good morning LORD!
Waking to thoughts of You.
Your not in the green,
Your in the blue!
Clear and Sparkling.
Bright as Light.
Turning darkness
Into understanding sight.
Colors given one by one.
Gifts of rainbow from
The Son.
Glorify Your Name in waves,
Colors singing,
and clouds parade!”
I wondered, “What is the Hebrew definition for ‘blue’?”
An obscure idea of a “peeling off by concussion of sound”; a scale or shell (example a mussel) stemming from the unused root word “Shacal” which is the “roar of a lion”.
Blue – the roar of a lion.
The Lion of Judah
Could it be,
the woman with the “issue of blood,” seeing Jesus passing by,
heard the “roar of the blue” from the hem of His garment?
Jesus would have worn something similar to this as His prayer shawl. The tassels is also known as the “wing” as in Malachi 4:2 “healing in its wings.”
“The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the people…and tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments…and to put a cord of blue on the tassel of each corner.” Numbers 15:37-38 (ESV)
On hearing, the “scales” fell from her eyes to see,
And reaching out, she touched her Healing.
“For she said to herself, ‘If I only touch His garment, I shall be made well. But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter, your faith has made you well.” Matthew 9:21-22
Hidden treasure in the word pictures of “Shacal” – #7826 Strong’s

“…Jesus turned around and saw her…”
The smile of the full face of the Shepherd
Jesus
He said, “…daughter…”
I’m seeing her smile too,
In the Roar of the Blue!
The “blue” was from the cerulean mussel, the rare color was used to dye the tassels. This prayer shawl is an example of what the “woman” would have been reaching to touch on Jesus’s hem.
I wept like a baby when I purchased this in a shop on the Sea of Galilee.
May you be blessed today with healing and well-being under the blue!
“…Israel called its name manna…and the taste of it was like wafer made with honey.” Exodus 16:31

“And behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.” Daniel 10: Verse 10
This was the verse that opened my eyes to see the Hebrew letters.
“a hand touched me…”
Yood – 10th letter Word Picture: Closed (right) hand Meaning: Work, a deed, to make, effort
Yood – Is the smallest of the Hebrew letters but very significant.
It can represent:
“the hand of God”
“the work of God”
“the favor of God by His hand”
Jesus spoke,
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.” Matthew Chapter 10:29
Matthew Chapter 10 – Ten
Nothing is insignificant to the Father. So much so, Jesus also said,
“For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” Matthew 5:18
He was speaking about the letter Yood.
It’s numerical value is 10. The number10 represents order:
The Ten Commandments
The 10 generations of Adam to Noah.
God delivered Israel by the 10 plagues.
A minyan (a group of 10 men) is required for prayer in the synagogue.
“And behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.”
Daniel had the “hand of God”lift him up.
God gave Daniel favor – Daniel 1:9
Yood is the right hand – or the hand of favor, by lifting Daniel up.
God was “working” on Daniel’s behalf.
“Strength and comfort commonly come by degrees to those that have been long cast down and disquieted; they are first helped up a little, and then more. After two days he will review us, and then the third day he will raise us up. And we must not despise the day of small things, but be thankful for the beginning of mercy.” quote by Matthew Henry
God does not,
despise our small frames,
or trembling knees.
He extends His hand of
love and favor.
Picking us up from despair;
depression;
sickness;
loneliness;
and with His mighty
right hand works on our behalf!
And like the “Feature photo” of a tambourine depicting Miriam, the sister of Aaron, who took a tambourine in her hand, went out (with all the women) singing and dancing after the LORD, Who (with a Mighty hand) brought back the waters of the Sea.
Delivering the people from the ten plagues and bondage. Exodus 15:19
Chet – 8th Hebrew letter. Word Picture – Fence Meaning: – inner-room, protection, private, to separate, full-face
The letter looks like a fence. Can you see it?
Protection, to separate…
So how the heck does it represent the “full-face”?
Well…
If the Nineteenth letter – Koof
Is the “back of the head” of a man or person”
Koof – 19th Hebrew letter Word Picture: Back of the head. Meaning: Behind, the last, to embrace a “knowing”, final
And
Reysh – 20th Hebrew Letter Word Picture: Head (of a man) Meaning: A person, the first, the highest, in the beginning.
The Twentieth letter is the “side” view of a man or a person
Then in makes sense, “Chet” is the front view of a person.
And the person I am looking to find in Scripture is Jesus!
“…for she said to herself, “If I only touch His garment, I will be made well.”
Jesus turned, and seeing her He said,
“Take heart, daughter, your faith has made you well.” Matthew 9:21-22
Jesus turned and she saw His full-face.
Jumping into the 8th verse in Daniel…what did Daniel see?
Daniel retelling his story in Chapter 10…“So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and no strength was left in me. My radiant appearance was fearfully changed, and I retained no strength. Daniel Chapter 10: verse 8
Daniel saw the face of Jesus – private vision, full face of Jesus.
Inner-room, private, full-face vision of Jesus!
In Scripture,
Protection – Eight people were saved aboard Noah’s Ark.
Covenant – Jesus was taken up to the Temple for dedication on the eighth day.
Kingship – David, a man after God’s own heart was the Eighth son of Jesse.
Joyous – the Feast of Booths is celebrated for Eight days.
Ministry – Aaron, the high priest was called by Moses on the Eighth day of preparation.
I pray as we continue through Daniel in Chapter 10,
your eyes would be opened to see the
beauty of Jesus in Old Testament prophecy of Daniel.
My garden is full of delights! It fills the senses with beauty, color and wonder. It helps me to understand beautiful truths about God, the Creator of heaven and earth.
