Worthy Brief - 11/24/2023

Friend, get drenched!

Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

A few days ago, they had to shut down the Rainbow Bridge between the U.S. and Canada at Niagara Falls because of a vehicle explosion that occurred at the border crossing.

If you've never visited Niagara Falls, you're in for a truly amazing experience! Years ago, during my first visit, I was awestruck by its enormity. It's mind-blowing to think that every second about one-hundred and fifty thousand tons of water plunges down. The sheer marvel of Niagara Falls attracts nearly 12 million tourists each year.

The Lord could have used a lot less water. He could have made the Falls smaller, but instead, He created them as high as a twenty-story building -- but would you believe that as much water as pours down from those Falls, that amount doesn't even compare to the amount of love that God has poured out upon us?

God's love toward us is not like a little water from the tap. It is not as high as a twenty-story building -- it's not as high as a fifty story building! His love far surpasses that! We can't help but be drenched!

Friend, in James it says, "Draw near to me, and I'll draw near to you" ... let's spend our Shabbat drawing near to Him ... and simply be drenched in His unending love this weekend!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

George, Baht Rivka, Obadiah and Elianna (Dallas, TX)
