Yom Shabbat, Shevat 15, 6004 – January 11, 2020

Getting Perspective

So we want to serve God and love our neighbor. A question to ask is, what is our perspective for that service and love? Generally speaking, it is in the Torah, or we have called it, the Law. There is a misunderstanding for most of us about this concept . When we think of law, we think of police, attorneys, courtrooms, and judges. Yes, that is an aspect of what we are to consider. However, Torah is much more than that – it is a story told in five books. When we keep the Sabbath, which we are commanded to do, one purpose is to take time away from the daily routines and learn from God, reflecting on the story.

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

If we spend time, we purchase a pearl of great price.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Lead us away from temptation, Father. Deliver us from the evil here, and from the evil that men do. Send Your angels to deliver the goods. Thank You for Your story that gives us light. We ask all these things of You Father, our King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
