Shabbat Message of
Psa 37:1 Do not fret because of evil-doers, Do not be envious of the workers of unrighteousness. (2) For they soon wither like grass, And fade like green plants. (3) Trust in יהוה, and do good; Dwell in the earth, and feed on steadfastness. (4) And delight yourself in יהוה, And let Him give you the desires of your heart. (5) Commit your way to יהוה, And trust in Him, and He does it. (6) And He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your right-ruling as midday. (7) Rest in יהוה, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man doing wicked devices. (8) Abstain from displeasure, and forsake wrath; Do not fret, also to do evil. (9) For evil-doers are cut off; But those who wait on יהוה, They shall inherit the earth. (10) Yet a little while and the wrong is no more; And you shall look on his place, But it is not. (11) But the meek ones shall inherit the earth, And delight themselves in plenty of peace. (12) The wrong plots against the righteous, And gnashes his teeth at him. (13) יהוה laughs at him, For He sees that his day is coming. (14) The wrong have drawn the sword And have bent their bow, To cause the poor and needy to fall, To slay those who walk straightly. (15) Their sword does enter into their own heart, And their bows are broken. (16)Better is the little of the righteous one, Than the riches of many wrongdoers. (17) For the arms of the wrongdoers are broken, But יהוה sustains the righteous. (18) יהוה knows the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is forever. (19) They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in the days of scarcity of food they are satisfied. (20) But the wrongdoers shall perish; And the enemies of יהוה, Like the splendour of the meadows they vanish, Like smoke they vanish away. (21) The wrongdoer is borrowing and does not repay, But the righteous one shows favour and gives. (22) For His blessed ones inherit the earth, But those cursed by Him are cut off. (23) The steps of a man are ordered by יהוה, And He delights in his way. (24) Though he falls, he is not cast down, For יהוה is supporting his hand. (25) I have been young, and now I am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Or his seed begging bread. (26) All day long he is showing favour and lending; And his seed is for a blessing. (27) Turn away from evil, and do good; And dwell forever. (28) For יהוה loves right-ruling, And does not forsake His kind ones; They shall be guarded forever, But the seed of the wrongdoers is cut off. (29) The righteous shall inherit the earth, And dwell in it forever. (30) The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of right-ruling. (31) The Torah of his Elohim is in his heart; His steps do not slide. (32) The wrong one is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to slay him. (33) יהוה does not leave him in his hand, Or let him be declared wrong when he is judged. (34) Wait on יהוה and guard His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the earth – When the wrongdoers are cut off, you shall see it. (35) I have seen the wrongdoer in great power, And spreading himself like a native green tree. (36) Yet he passed away, and see, he was not; And I sought him, but he was not found. (37) Watch the perfect, and observe the straight; For the latter end of each is peace. (38) But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The latter end of the wrong shall be cut off. (39) But the deliverance of the righteous is from יהוה, Their strength in time of distress. (40) And יהוה does help them and deliver them; He delivers them from the wrongdoers and saves them, Because they took refuge in Him.
The Parable of Scum in the Pool
Scum in the pool... Bugs, Leaves, Algae, High PH, Dirt
There is scum that affects our daily walk in YHWH also...
· Demonic activity
2Pe 2:1-3 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying YHWH that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (2) And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. (3) And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
1Ti 4:1-2 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (2) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
These latter times began shortly after Shaul penned these words!
2Ti 3:5-7 Having a form of righteousness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (6) For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, (7) Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
· Flesh -
1Jn 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (16) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of YHWH abideth forever.
Rom 8:5-8 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. (6) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against YHWH: for it is not subject to the law of YHWH, neither indeed can be. (8) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please YHWH.
Jud 1:3-8 ... ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. (4) For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, unrighteous men, turning the grace of our Elohim into lasciviousness, and denying the only Elohim YHWH, and our Master YHWSHUA Messiah.... (7) Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (8) Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh...
1Pe 4:1-4 Forasmuch then as Messiah hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; (2) That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of YHWH. (3) For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: (4) Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
· World and Circumstances

1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but YHWH is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Joh 17:11-17 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Set Apart Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. (12) While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled. (13) And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. (14) I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (15) I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. (16) They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (17) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Chemicals in Pool.... Chemicals for our Spiritual Walk
Eph 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in YHWH, and in the power of his might. (11) Put on the whole armor of YHWH, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (13) Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of YHWH, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; (15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of YHWH: (18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Psa 37:30-31 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. (31) The law of his Elohim is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

(8) Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of YHWH shall be thy rearward.
Mat 25:37-40 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Master, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

(40) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
