Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and shalom in trusting, so you may overflow with hope in the power of the Ruach ha-Kodesh [Holy Spirit]. Romans 15:13, TLV

My Prayer for You.     Shabbat Shalom!     Imagine receiving this blessing from Paul. I could unpack this for days. The Yeshua followers in Rome had little to be joyful about around them. Persecution was beginning to escalate. But this little benediction is so hopeful. Joyful. Peaceful. What can I say? This verse speaks for itself, so I pray this for you, my friends. And I pray this for Israel and our brothers and sisters in Messiah—Jewish and Arab. God bless you!

Shabbat shalom!
