NAHARIYA, ISRAEL. TUESDAY. 22.10.24

This coming Shabbat the Torah reading starts over again, from its very beginning.

(Genesis 1:1)

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

That's the fact of our existence. God is. He created. Without Him, there is no life. When we start our day, our meditation is on Him. Our questions are toward Him and our answers are from Him.

God is the antidote for the stress and the fear and all these other things that we are experiencing daily in Israel. Over ½ the country was in bomb shelters this past night and early morning.

But we know that He is our Iron Dome.

Moses wrote as he was instructed by God, for the future leaders of Israel:

(Deuteronomy 17:18)

“Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the one before the priests, the Levites. “

We pray continually for our leaders to follow God's direction and to have His wisdom.

When Joshua was instituted as the general of Israel after Moses, God commanded him,

(Joshua 1:8-9) “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

It is always the same command. It is always the same direction. Follow God. Meditate on His Word. It brings you blessings. God's Word gives you long life, wisdom, direction for your daily needs, health, strength and courage. It is your protection, always.
