I am looking for a passage that speaks about the layout of the crops. Does anyone know what it is? Something about vegetables or small crops in the middle surrounded by a vine or grain then enclosed or squared in by wheat or barley.

Tiferet of Malchut

Examine the compassion of sovereignty. A good leader is a compassionate one. Is my compassion compromised because of my authority? Do I realize that an integral part of dignity is compassion?

Tiferet - harmony - is critical for successful leadership. Do I manage a smooth-running operation? Am I organized? Do I give clear instructions to my subordinates? Do I have difficulty delegating power? Does my organization work as a team? Do we have frequent staff meetings to coordinate our goals and efforts?

Exercise for the day: Review an area where you wield authority and see if you can polish it up and increase its effectiveness by curtailing excesses and consolidating forces.

The Gershonites and the Merarites were all Levites and they all had a necessary place in the service of the Tabernacle and the nation of Israel, but their roles in that service were distinct and they weren't allowed to usurp each other's places. Each man had his assigned task. Although I'm sure there was some flexibility, overlap, and cross training within the clans, if anyone refused to do his job or took someone else's, the whole process of breaking and making camp was disrupted. One person could cause a chain reaction effecting everyone.

It's the same in our congregations today. We all have work to do and being jealous of each other's roles and missions will only cause chaos and reduce everyone's ability to function as a single body.

When we ask the Father to grow us into what He wants us to be, we must be willing to go through His steps, in order, and in His timing. I'm learning that His processes and His timing are good for me.

Ezekiel 33:6, “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and fails to blow the horn to warn the people, and the sword comes and takes away a life, then that one will be taken away in his iniquity, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.”The watchmen must be vigilant — they not only see the danger, they must warn others. Of course it’s up to the ones being warned if they choose to heed that warning.

"He that breaketh one of these least commandments, and teacheth men thus, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven;"

Mt 5

Thought for Today: May 23:

The sunrise ushers in YHVH’s mercy towards you today. Yesterday is gone and forgotten, today is in His hands and tomorrow if filled with His Promises. Therefore remember! You are blessed because you are in His will – His will is to heal you, provide for you, protect you, and daily give you the generous gifts of His Grace.
