Tehillimandpoetry

A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

This is her story of giving gratitude.

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition.

One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.

The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

May you be so fortunate …

To be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.

And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.

What can we learn from this story?

We are born in a spider web of lines of deceit ..bound by sin...which weighs us down. As we struggle to breathe, we hope someone out there will see us...hear our cries and rescue us.

There is but one who can untangle us from sin, his name is Yeshua!! He offered himself as a sin offering fulfilling all sacrifices and offerings to give us a way back to Him...and on Yom Kippur His blood atones for our sins.

He broke His body into pieces and all who believe received a piece of the Bread of Life- Yeshua...Now He lives in us...When Yeshua left His physical state He entered His original state which is Spirit..and we all know and understand that the Spirit is Yahweh...Yahweh is the Spirit that now resides in us....the comforter...the teacher..deliverer...ect.

Yahweh/ Yeshua gave us his Torah on Mt. Sinai...then He came and walked His own Torah out physically on earth and taught us by sharing what He wrote/said 1500 yrs earlier when He gave us His Torah and shared His ways, statutes,principles, commands and Sabbaths with them so they could understand the meanings without having it be confusing. The accounts of Yeshua's Life and Dead and Resurrection and afterwards with the Rauch in His people ...and Remez of future events...we call this the New Testament or the Brit Chadashah.

There's nothing new with the New Testament. Its a commentary of the Old but with new characters and a different time period.

Yahweh works in a cyclone cloud ..his principles remain the same and as one cycles around the cloud, time periods change and characters he uses change with time.

Now here we are believers overcoming and transforming and now we are traveling up and around his cyclone ...we're experiencing new stories but his principles remain the same. B/c He lives in us we now are His earthly representatives ...we are His hands..and His heart...when we see people in need, struggling for a breath...tangled in webs and traps...bound to their sins and their forefathers sins...Yeshua sends us to help them...sharing Love, Yahweh's character...the Fruit of the Spirit...and His healing words..His Torah. We help deliver them b/c of who lives in us!!
