Yesod of Malchut
Examine the bonding aspect of your sovereignty. Healthy independence should not prevent you from bonding with another person. On the contrary: self-confidence allows you to respect and trust another's sovereignty and ultimately bond with him. And that bond will strengthen your own sovereignty, rather than sacrifice it.
Does my sovereignty prevent me from bonding? Could that be because of deeper insecurities that I am unaware of? Do I recognize the fact that a fear of bonding reflects on lack of self-confidence in my own sovereignty? Do I talk to the one with whom I bond and discuss my fears that bonding will compromise my boundaries?
Exercise for the day: Actualize your sovereignty by intensifying your bond with a close one.

Genesis 31 contains the lesson of Jacob and Laban. Laban deceives Jacob but each time the Creator turns it around to build up Jacob and build the family of Abraham. What we learn from the Hebrew word for deceive (Strong’s # H2048) is that the one who tries to deceive others has a spirit that is yoked to evil.
These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.

Thought for Today: Friday May 26:
When some basic need is lacking – time, energy, money – consider yourself blessed. Your very lack is an opportunity to latch onto YHVH in unashamed dependence. When you begin a day with inadequate resources, you must concentrate your efforts on the present moment. This is where you are meant to live – in the present; It is the place where YHVH always awaits you. Awareness of your inadequacy is a rich blessing, training you to rely wholeheartedly on YHVH Elohiym. The truth is that self-efficiency is a myth perpetrated by pride and temporary success. Health and wealth can disappear instantly, as can life itself. Rejoice in your insufficiency, knowing that YHVH’s Power is made perfect in weakness.
