Thought for Today: Shabbat August 16
Remember, there is only one way to teach about YHVH, and that is honestly, factually, and unembellished. YHVH is not a religion, YHVH is the ultimate Reality, the Creator, the Source of everything and He should be treated that way. When you talk to family, friends and your children about YHVH, you are not talking religion, you are talking reality, life, and truth. YHVH is our Elohiym, and He created us with a purpose and pays attention to our every need and situation. He depends on us to fulfil that purpose we were created for to enable Him to fulfil His plan. YHVH and us are not strangers to each other. He is our Father, our Creator, our Mentor, our Teacher, our Inspiration, and our purpose. That is how you present YHVH. YHVH created everything and we have to be grateful to Him and we have to ask Him what can we do for Him. What did He create us for? Why did He give us intelligence? Why did He give us emotions? Why did He create us with love? What must we do with that it? What is our purpose? If I use His blessings the way it is intended, it will all be great and successful. But if I am ignoring it and just experimenting, then I am godless! Make this Shabbat a Holy day and shine His Light through your actions!
Erev Shabbat Shalom! Let's not forget why we do this, brethren!
For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
(Heb 9:15)
And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction.
Deuteronomy 7:26 ESV
The abominable character of idols is contagious. Knowingly accepting them into your house will make you abominable in God’s eyes also.
