FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – SHOPHTYM:
“Appoint judges and officers within all your gates, which YHWH your Elohim is giving you.”
This is a command of Torah. It is not optional, situational, or negotiable. Do you keep it? If so, how? If not, why not?
Rosh Chodesh Sameach! Have a joyful New Moon day!
Today is the beginning of the 6th Hebrew month of the year. We begin our 40 days of Selicoth prayers and fasting in anticipation of Yom Teruah, the coming of our King, the days of Judgement and atonement, and finally the festival of Sukkoth!
Don't be like the five virgins who waited until the last moment to put oil in their lamps! Get right with your Maker and do this in advance before He comes!

You shall appoint judges and officers… You shall not pervert justice... Righteousness, and only righteousness, you shall follow...
#deuteronomy 16:18-20 #justice #shoftim
(The same Hebrew word is used for justice and righteousness. They are synonymous concepts in the Bible.)
Whether in church or state, the people usually get the leadership they deserve. According to #torah, the primary responsibility for ensuring justice lies with the people, not the government, and men who have been blessed with wisdom and insight have a responsibility to use their gifts for the community. If they misbehave, they are also to be removed by the people.
That government is best which governs according to all of God's commandments. God's Law is anti-utopian. It hopes for the best, but expects the worst.
My hamburger buns were just a little on the toastier side (than normal) but they turned out delicious. My family commented that the bread tasted like i put them on the grill to toast. Listen we loaded up the hamburger with cheese, lettuce pickles, avocado and it was amazing. I gotta to remember to make the hamburger patties first so I don't get too distracted!
Have an amazing week everyone! Be blessed.
🌙Rosh Chodesh Aug 24 Sunset - Aug 25 Sunset. 1st day of the 6th Biblical Month of Elul.
Each of the Hebrew letters in Elul (אלול) can become the first letters of
“Ani L'dodi V'dodi Li,” (אֲנִי לְדוֹדִי וְדוֹדִי לִי),
a verse from Song of Songs in the Hebrew Bible (6:3). The verse means,
“I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine.” The acronym isn't just coincidental.
I am my beloved's, my beloved is mine.

Believing is God is easy. But we were never instructed in scripture to believe in God. We were instructed to follow YHWH.
God is a vague foreign idea and his requirements are equally as vague and foreign to Scripture.
But YHWH is our Mighty One and the requirements of YHWH are specific and written right in the Text of the Scriptures. No vague malleable notions of love and kindness but detailed descriptions of what to do and how to do it and when and why.
Usually the “why” is because “I am YHWH”.
Simple and easy…but extremely hard to turn to. Difficult beyond words it is to get off the main avenue and begin to walk the Path in The Way of YHWH.
