Drawing near to God in Spiritual meditation without mysticism

Mysticism, in its non-biblical sense, often promotes a subjective, experiential pursuit of spirituality that focuses on self, hidden knowledge, or union with the divine through hidden knowledge or unmediated means. This approach is fundamentally at odds with biblical meditation, grounded in God's Word, faith, and the revelation of the Messiah. Here's why mysticism can be considered an enemy of biblical meditation from a scriptural perspective.

IDF: Since the start of the week, the IDF struck and dismantled more than 45 Hezbollah launchers throughout southern Lebanon, from which projectiles were fired toward areas in Israel, as well as ready-to-fire launchers aimed toward Israeli territory. Additionally, the IDF struck and dismantled the launchers that fired projectiles toward Nahariya yesterday (Thursday), and toward the Haifa Bay over the past week.

Key Verse: Hebrews 8:6 – "But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises."

IDF: Following the sirens that sounded regarding a hostile aircraft infiltration between 06:26 and 06:46 in the Western and Upper Galilee, Haifa Bay and Carmel areas, three UAVs were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. Interception attempts were made and fallen projectiles were identified in the Western Galilee area. No injuries were reported. All interception attempts failed!

God’s Unexpected Love Through Yeshua

1. God’s Love Revealed Through Yeshua's Sacrifice - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us Romans 5:8

2. God’s Love Extends to All People - There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus Galatians 3:28

3. God’s Love is Personal and Transformative - I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you John 15:15

Through Yeshua, God doesn’t just forgive us—He welcomes us into His family, transforms our hearts, and gives us a new identity in Him.

In the past hour, missiles from Lebanon have continued to target Northern Israel, with a steady barrage since 7 a.m. We can hear the distant sounds of interceptions and are fervently praying for the protection of our citizens. We also pray for YESHUA, the Messiah, to be revealed—this is the day of salvation!

Romans 13 11-14 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.

During our group Zoom call, please take a moment to enjoy the message portion. I’ll share a brief overview of how the Scriptures guide us in understanding 'hope.' This introduction is meant to spark our interest in the topic and highlight its significance in our journey as disciples. We'll delve deeper into this theme in our upcoming devotion times.

Following warnings about the infiltration of hostile aircraft that were activated in Eilat (southern Israel, by the Red Sea), the Israeli Air Force intercepted a UAV that made its way to the territory of the country from the east. The UAV was intercepted before it crossed into Israel.

Sources associated with the Syrian opposition report that last night, Israel attacked Hezbollah trucks in Syrian territory that were trying to enter Lebanon, near the "Al-Zamrani crossing" in the Al-Qalamoun area.

HEZBOLLAH THREATENS RETALIATION

Lebanese media reports that Hezbollah is issuing threats of widespread attacks in response to IDF operations over the past two days in Beirut. Despite the threats, the IDF shows no signs of letting up as it continues destroying Hezbollah's infrastructure and missiles.

Exodus 15:11 Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? 12 “You stretch out your right hand, and the earth swallows your enemies. 13 In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling. 14 The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the people of Philistia. 15 The chiefs of Edom will be terrified, the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling, the people of Canaan will melt away; 16 terror and dread will fall on them.
