The Shomreem
Sapphires | Jonathan Cahn

Posted on 06/28/2002 8:49:42 AM PDT by WhatNot

In Hebrew the policemen are called 'shomreem'. In ancient times, the guards were also called shomreem. This word comes from 'shomair' which means "to keep". It's a very important word in the Bible. The Lord is called 'Shomair Yisrael', the Keeper of Israel. But the word shomreem is not just for the Lord. It says in God's Word..."You will be blessed if you shomair...keep the covenant." Keep the command, keep My way, keep My Word, keep My Torah...KEEP

It's important to keep. It is written we have this treasure in earthen vessels. It is not enough to have a treasure. A treasure must be watched, and treasured, and kept. If you want a life that is precious you must keep all these things in your heart. Become a keeper. Keep His Word in your mind. Keep His love in your heart. Keep His wonders in your testimony, His presence in your Spirit. Be a keeper of what must be kept...for what God has given you is for keeps.

2 Timothy 4:7

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
Phil. 4:13

Whenever I ponder this verse I have to remind myself that it relates only to matters of God and not my golf game. Have a blessed weekend and we'll see you here, there or in the AIR!

Big? Perhaps . . . but only because it is being transformed by what is that "perfect and acceptable Word of God." :^D

Amen to that! And as long as we KEEP thirsting, and KEEP staying hungry, He will KEEP transforming us..

Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
