Faith/belief isn't invisible. These aren't just notions you have in your heart. If people can't see what you believe, then do you really believe it? I keep the 7th Day Sabbath, no buying or selling, keeping that day set apart to Yah, meditating upon His word, fellowship with family and like minded believers when possible. I do this because I believe everything Yah said about the Sabbath. It is Holy and set apart forever Leviticus 23:3, Exodus 20:8-11, Genesis 2:3. It is a sign that I belong to Him Ezekiel 20:12, Exodus 31:13-17. I take Yah at His word, I believe Him. I did not take the c0v!d vax because "the science" behind the vax was contrary to what Yah said regarding disease and illness. I believed Yah and trusted His ways. It wasn't even a question.
I once heard a teacher say to look at your bank account to evaluate what you treasure. Where are you spending your resources? Here too, you will do what you believe. Where are you storing up treasures? Where are you placing your trust? Is sticking more into savings a better choice than giving it to someone in need? Why? Yahusha reminds us in Matthew 25:35-40 that serving our fellow humans is the same as serving Him. Matthew 6:19-21 serving Yahusha thru serving our fellow humans is how we store up our treasures in Heaven...eternity. You will do what you believe.
Self evaluation, once again, is course correction. I need to do this daily. Why am I doing this whatever thing? Am I following the directions of Yah? Is it just a tradition? Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it something I can defend? From the clothes I wear, the food I eat, the days I esteem as Holy, the way I treat others...whatever it is, am I doing it because I believe what Yah said about these things? If not, it is imperative that I course correct.
Just a work in progress
