Here are some New Testament passages to study alongside this week's #torah reading, #pinchas (aka #phinehas, Numbers 25:10-29:40), plus links to related commentary and video: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/04/25/parsha-pi
Psalm 90:3 —4, “You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.” For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.” During a recent conversation the comment was made that one’s lifetime compared to eternity is less than the blink of an eye. We only know time as it was created for us and can’t really understand what it would be like to live without it as we know it. Our life on this earth is temporary, but our life on the new earth will be eternal.
"Then I reproved them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and took an oath of them by God:
Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, neither shall ye take of their daughters unto your sons nor for yourselves."
Neh 13
Thought for Today: Sunday July 13
In my years, I have found it helpful to counter worries with the Bible’s Promises about YHVH’s steadfast Love. He loves us and, no matter what happens to us, He will never abandon us. We know this because Yeshua Moshiach demonstrated YHVH’s Love for us by giving His life for Salvation. Does this mean that things will never go wrong or we will never have problems? Absolutely not! But it does mean that nothing we experience ever catches YHVH by surprise or is too big for Him to deal with. Even when our days seems dark, YHVH never leaves us, nor does He allow anything to come our way that can overwhelm us.
I have just been very tired about many things. This Sabbath I zoned out from everything. I was so tired I slept all afternoon. I don't remember when I've been this tired. But I'm starting to feel better.
In this world you will have troubles from without. Yet you can have Shalom within.
