Thought for Today: Shabbat April 02

Problems are a part of life. They are inescapable; woven into the very fabric of this fallen world. Sometimes you tend to go into problem-solving mode all too readily, acting as if you have the capacity to fix everything. This is a habitual response, so automatically that it bypasses your conscious thinking. Not only may this habit frustrate you but is may also distance you from YHVH. Do not let fixing things be your top priority. You are ever so limited in your capacity to correct all that is wrong in the world around you. Don’t weigh yourself down with responsibilities that are not your own. Instead, make your relationship with YHVH your primary concern. Talk with Him about whatever is on your mind, seeking His perspective on the situation. Rather than trying to fix everything that comes to your attention, ask Him to show you what is truly important. Remember that you are enroute to the Heavenly Kingdom and therefore let your problems fade in the Light of eternity.
