He Provides Rain for the Earth....

By

After an extremely dry autumn we have had an abundance of rain this last month.  When we experience a dry season it's always a reminder that it is only the Creator who sends the rain and it falls on the righteous and the unrighteous.  We are dependent on Him for every breath, every drop of rain and every dollar that we earn. There are ups and downs, good seasons, dry seasons, a time for joy and a time for mourning, but above all He is good and His lovingkindness endures forever.


Great is our Adonai and mighty in power
His understanding is infinite


Here at Hebron the lambing season is progressing well, although we have lost a couple of  lambs to foxes, which are particularly numerous this year.  We are going to have to get a few shooters out to deal with the growing numbers of rabbits and foxes unfortunately.

YHVH upholds the humble
He brings the wicked to the ground
We will be welcoming the Parker family to Hebron shortly, who are relocating to South Australia from Victoria.  It is quite a remarkable story how Yehovah has linked our hearts with them again after so many years and we look forward to seeing them settle in and find their own patch of dirt that has been set aside for them.  One thing is for sure, life is never static here at Hebron.


Sing to YHVH with thanksgiving
Sing praises to our Elohim on the harp 

Soon we will be coming together to celebrate Yom Teruah and our hearts and minds will have an opportunity to be refocused, and let's be honest, a moed is always a great excuse to celebrate His goodness and wisdom.






He covers the sky with clouds
He provides rain for the earth
He makes grass sprout on the hills


I have a picture in my mind of a day in the future where many groups of messianic believers come together to celebrate the moedim and we'll have times of praise, worship and fellowship.  Maybe these will be held here at Hebron?  A subject that is close to my heart, and a regular soap-box topic, is the role, purpose and oft-times misuse of music in times of fellowship and the moedim.  It's obviously a strong feature in the scriptures so I feel a little justified in maintaining my stance.

He gives food to the cattle and to the ravens who cry.
He delights not in the horse's strength, nor takes pleasure in a man's legs 



I had a really interesting conversation with Gwen a month or two ago and it has stirred me to write my thoughts down so I'll post a separate blog focusing on this really important topic.  It's not purely Hebron focused but hey, praise is a vital element of our times together up here.



YHVH delights in those who revere Him
in those who trust in His lovingkindness.  Psalm 47:5-11

Where Your Treasure Is.....

By
Life has changed for our community and we are now split between two geographic locations - Salem and Mildura - with a few of us coming and going between them.   When the scripture says we are an 'unusual people', that certainly has an added layer for our community!      We are full of anticipation of what YHVH will pour out for the people of Australia, particularly the towns along the Murray River and Victoria.     But coming home to Hebron is always so good for the soul. Open skies - Open spaces   So lovely to see water in the top dam, grass emerging and  paddocks been sown for this year's hay crop.     I have been reflecting more on the truth and freedom of Yeshua's command:   Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth,  where moth and rust destroy,  and where thieves break in and steal.   But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,  where neither moth nor rust destroys,  and whe...

2025 Moedim - Appointed Times

By
Here in Australia it's spring but in the northern hemisphere the feasts at this time of year are known as the 'fall feasts' - Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.   Yom Teruah Teaching It's new moon, Yom Teruah and we are anticipating Yom Kippur and the joy of Sukkot.  It's time for shouting, rejoicing, repenting and preparation - all in expectation to meet our King, our Messiah!  We put up banners, decorate our sukkah, fill the fridges and light the fires.   We will rejoice, we will enjoy each other's company but most of all, we know we will bless our Father with our obedience and He in turn will bless us. See you there!

Practical Deeds .... Spiritual Dividends

By
The practical outworkings of our worship and obedience may look different from one individual to another, one family to another or one fellowship to another.  Here at Hebron it's a matter of looking after the land, stock, home and infrastructure to ensure that things are ticking along as they should in a timely manner; creating a refuge and oasis, now and for the future.  This week the flock were treated to some mineral blocks, which will provide necessary salts and minerals that they need to remain in tip top shape while they're lambing in the summer months.  The smaller top dam is well and truly dry but this would be the perfect time to get the tractor in there and dig it deeper, which would also have the bonus of providing good dirt for the vegie patch.  This dam is not spring fed so having it deeper would provide more water for next summer, provided it fills during the winter months. The vegie patch, or as I prefer to call it at times, the battlefie...
