Thought for Today: Shabbat February 01

Most of us, once in our life time, probably had a doctor take a little rubber hammer and tap you on your knees – and if your reflexes are good, your lower leg will respond with a gentle kick. That action occurs automatically and it is the same every time the nerve gets hit. BUT – how do you respond when trouble hits you? What is your automatic reflexion action then? Panic? Anger? Depression? Confusion? All of these? Apostle James reminds us in James 5: 13, 16, that our reflexive action should be: turning to Elohiym in prayer!
