Still Small Voice – 2 Nisan 5783/ March 24th, 2023

by Dr. Meridel Rawlings

Dear Friends: “In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did as he pleased.” Judges 17:6 Concerning Israel, today, no news is good news. All we hear is confusion, accusations and hatred. How can we be blessed? Jay observes that it harkens back to the time of the Judges when the people demanded a King. I am afraid we are in...

My dear friends: Shalom is a wonderful word to speak out into your world in these days, Peace! Peace can only flow from heaven downward to us, as we lift our eyes and faith and send up praise and worship wanting nothing in return, but His Presence! This has always been Jay’s and my secret of quiet joy and being lead peacefully by the...

Still Small Voice, Humor at Purim – March 10th 2023.

by Dr. Meridel Rawlings

Shalom, dear Friends, During Purim which was a few days ago, we do fun stuff. Refusing to be paralyzed when faced with darkness is really the essence of the story of Queen Esther; along with the ability to use great wisdom and unify the people in your world. Allow me, at this time, to introduce you to Daniel’s wife Shelly, an Israeli/Canadian. In Hebrew,...

Shalom dear friends, one and all: Did you know that Israel has a special day dedicated to family? This past Tuesday, families across the country spent the day focusing on and celebrating the special bond that is family. Children, especially in kindergartens, created art projects and brought family photos to share with their friends. Many families plan special after-school activities to celebrate the day...

Liebe Freunde: Der Mensch kann zuweilen so entmutigend sein. Sind die Kriege und Kriegsgerüchte, die Wirbelstürme, Erdbeben und Zyklone nicht schon Katastrophen genug? Der Mensch hat das Bedürfnis, weitaus größere, von ihm selbst verursachte Tragödien zu erzwingen. Ich beziehe mich jetzt auf die Justizreformen, die in Israel rasch durchgeführt werden. Werden sie zu einer besseren Demokratie in Israel führen, oder zu einer gescheiterten Demokratie?...

Dear Friends: Man can be so discouraging at times. Aren’t the wars and rumours of war, along with the hurricanes, earthquakes, and cyclones enough disasters today? Man has the need to impose far greater tragedies of his own making. I am referring now to the judicial reforms rapidly taking place in Israel. Will they result in a better democracy in Israel or a failed...

Shalom, Dear Friends: My heart is warmed, hearing from you. Let’s take a moment for a cup of tea or coffee. We are exhorted to “have faith”. Not to “try” faith. These have been days of heartache for all people, and we need inner strength. What better response can there be but, prayer and the firm knowledge that “this IS my Father’s world!”...

“When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. I praise God for what He has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. My enemies will retreat...

Dear Friends: “In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did as he pleased.” Judges 17:6 Concerning Israel, today, no news is good news. All we hear is confusion, accusations and hatred. How can we be blessed? Jay observes that it harkens back to the time of the Judges when the people demanded a King. I am afraid we are in for some very very dark days. One side loves to blame the other, and no one has all of the answers, yet there is NO willingness for negotiation brother to brother. We are in dire need of a wake-up call immediately before the situation escalates into civil war. “… Dispense true justice,, practice kindness and compassion to each other and do not oppress or exploit the widow or the fatherless, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise or even imagine evil in your hearts against one another.” Zechariah 7:9,10. The above order came through Zechariah as he encouraged 50,000 returned exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem. They had...

Peace can only flow from heaven downward to us, as we lift our eyes and faith and send up praise and worship wanting nothing in return, but His Presence! This has always been Jay’s and my secret of quiet joy and being lead peacefully by the Holy Spirit. We pray the same for every husband and wife reading my letter. We encourage you to pray and worship together in the spirit in the midst of your home. My Prophetic Act at Age 8: We were living in White Horse, a very small town in the Yukon, northern Canada at the time. My father was in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Our parents had left on a business trip for several weeks, driving thousands of miles to Winnipeg, a city in the middle of Canada. A lady was hired to care for us but; we suffered, as children do without their parents. Their departure left us feeling...

Refusing to be paralyzed when faced with darkness is really the essence of the story of Queen Esther; along with the ability to use great wisdom and unify the people in your world. Allow me, at this time, to introduce you to Daniel’s wife Shelly, an Israeli/Canadian. In Hebrew, she is our hen, which means grace. God meant for the women in families to be friends and family at the same time. We are meant to be close, loving and supportive! Jay and I are very proud of Shelly for holding her ground and speaking out in Hebrew and English. So friends, watch! I hope you will laugh along with us as Shelly does her Purim spoof: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS8QxAJkh/ 2023: the year of TRUTH for humanity “You may think you can break the divine and human law, but you will only break yourself.” Judge Pascal Najidi The Earthquake is here!

Shalom dear friends, one and all: Did you know that Israel has a special day dedicated to family? This past Tuesday, families across the country spent the day focusing on and celebrating the special bond that is family. Children, especially in kindergartens, created art projects and brought family photos to share with their friends. Many families plan special after-school activities to celebrate the day together. Our family took off to the Negev desert to see the immense carpets of the ruby red ‘rose of Sharon’. Israel: Jesus wept over the city of Jerusalem … and “we weep with great love for Zion.” Psalm 137: 1-5. It is a time of great controversy. I suggest, Noa Tishby’s 2021 book, Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth. It is a “wonderful read” especially at this very difficult time internally for the nation and her people. Thank you for your prayers. History comes to Life during Purim: The Jewish people have faithfully kept the Biblical Feast down through the annuals of history. This...

Man has the need to impose far greater tragedies of his own making. I am referring now to the judicial reforms rapidly taking place in Israel. Will they result in a better democracy in Israel or a failed democracy? Please stay with me, as I try to express how we are grappling as a family with the changes. “And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;” Luke 18:1 I sit down to write, and I am uneasy, restless and wondering. Confusion tries to cloud my mind. The future of my nation (Israel) seems so dark. Has it been hijacked? I resist the awful sense of heaviness and try to see the pros and cons of Israel’s new government from both sides. So, what is happening? The ultimate example of democracy at work is seen...
