Thought for Today: Shabbat August 23
There is a story of Martin Luther going through a period of discouragement and depression. For days his long face graced the family table and dampened the family’s home life. One day his wife came to the breakfast table all dressed in black… When he asked her who had died, she replied: “Martin, the way you have been behaving lately, I thought YHVH had died, so I came prepared to attend His funeral.” As a result, Martin Luther resolved never again to allow worldly care, resentment, depression, discouragement of frustration to defeat him. So, when was the last time you praised YHVH in the midst of your despair? Make today a day to do it! Shabbat Shalom everyone.
