The Menorah was made from a single piece of hammered gold. What a laborious, painstaking process that must have been!
A righteous and spirit-filled life is achieved only through trials, like the beaten gold of the Menorah. Purity is painful.
Numbers 8:4 #behaalotcha
Control the food, control the people — there is a provision in the Creator’s instructions to prevent this. Leviticus 19:9—10, “When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.” A landowner must allow the poor access to food, but the poor must be willing to go and harvest it.
Thought for Today: Friday June 09:
YHVH loves to look at us and loves it when we will look back. Even when we try to run away from our troubles... YHVH will find us, bless us, even when we feel most alone, unsure... YHVH will find a way to let us know that He is with us in this place, wherever we are, amen!
