RR Psalm 33:22 Part 11
(Early) Shabbat Shalom,
Psalm 33:22 Let Your lovingkindness, Adonai, be upon us, as we have waited for You.
Oh yes, Lord! Let Your “Chesed” (lovingkindness, grace, great favor and love) be upon us. And which “us” is that? Those of us who have waited with expectation, patiently and in hope. Lastly, for what are we waiting? Ah yes, what is our expectation? We’ll get to that in a moment. But first, we may be waiting, but God is not, He is actively pursuing those who will follow Him.
Ezekiel 34:11 For thus says Adonai Elohim: “Here I am! I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeks out his sheep on the day he is among his scattered flock, so I will seek out My sheep. I will rescue them out of all the places where they have been scattered, on a day of cloud and thick darkness.
Now, back to our waiting. We’re waiting for nothing less than His promised return. (Usually, I would provide a Scripture that proves “His promised return,” but there are so many of them, it is hard to choose. Nevertheless, here we go….) The writer of Hebrews is a really smart Messianic Rabbi who knew the Scriptures inside and out.
Hebrews 9:27 And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this judgment, 28 so also Messiah, was offered once to bear the sins of many. He will appear a second time, apart from sin, to those eagerly awaiting Him for salvation.
While we wait, we are not idle but actively working to prepare for Yeshua’s return. 1Thessalonians 5:2 For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. 3 When they are saying, “Shalom and safety,” sudden destruction comes upon them like a woman having birth pains in the womb—there is no way they will escape. 4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the dark, so that the Day might overtake you like a thief. 5 For you all are sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night or of darkness— 6 so then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain on the alert and sober-minded. Shalom shalom.
