Thought for Today: Friday February 09
Beginning well is a momentary thing --- finishing well is a lifelong thing.

18 Mishpatym – Day 6
Sh’moth 23:20-25
“See, I am sending a Messenger before you to guard you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
“Be on guard before Him and obey His voice. Do not rebel against Him, for He is not going to pardon your transgression, for My Name is in Him.
“But if you diligently obey His voice and shall do all that I speak, then I shall be an enemy to your enemies and a distresser to those who distress you.
“For My Messenger shall go before you and shall bring you in to the Amorites and the Ḥittites and the Perizzites and the Kena‛anites and the Ḥiwwites and the Yeḇusites, and I shall cut them off.
“Do not bow down to their mighty ones, nor serve them, nor do according to their works, but without fail overthrow them and without fail break down their pillars.
“And you shall serve YHWH your Elohim, and He shall bless your bread and your water. And I shall remove sickness from your midst.

Tehillah 93 – Day 6 (Yom Shishy)
YHWH shall rule, He shall put on excellency; YHWH shall put on strength; He shall gird Himself. Indeed, the world is established, immovable.
Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.
Rivers shall lift up, O YHWH, Rivers shall lift up their voice; Rivers lift up their breakers.
YHWH on high is mightier Than the noise of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea.
Your witnesses have been very trustworthy. Set-apartness befits Your house, O YHWH, forever.

From this week's Torah Portion:
Are you guilty of this?
“And Sha’ul, looking intently at the council, said, ‘Men, brothers, I have lived in all excellent conscience before Elohim until this day.’ And the high priest Chananyah commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. Then Sha’ul said to him, ‘Elohim is going to strike you, whitewashed wall! And do you sit judging me according to the Torah, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the Torah?’ And those who stood by said, ‘Do you revile the high priest of Elohim?’ And Sha’ul said, ‘I did not know, brothers, that he was the high priest, for it has been written, “You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people.””’”

FROM THIS WEEK'S TORAH PORTION:
"Do not afflict any widow or an orphan."
Who is a widow or an orphan in this picture? Do you know? Can you tell? Are you sure? If not, beware:
“If they cry out to Me at all, I shall certainly hear their cry, and My wrath shall burn and I shall kill you with the sword, your wives shall be widows and your children fatherless.”

From This Week's Torah Portion:
“And I shall set your border from the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River, for I shall give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. Do not make a covenant with them nor with their mighty ones. Let them not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me when you serve their mighty ones, when it becomes a snare to you.”
