God gave us the Torah out of love. By obeying these commands, we will be blessed. Likewise, your grandchildren will learn to fear Him. We must listen also to the Lords still small voice.The attributes of the Mystical YHVH are pitying the sinner, gracing the repentant, ruling, sympathizing to suffering, loving concern, long-suffering, abounding in mercy, verifying, remembering human merit, understanding, forgiving, atoning, and seeing guilt.
One of the last things Moses preached to Israel before
dieing was this in Deut 6:4-5, “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD
is one! You shall love the LORD your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”NASU (The
Shema) Rabbi Sacks said “The Shema is
not just about believing in God; it's about living in a way that reflects your
beliefs. It's about making God the center of our lives, not just the idea that
we hold.”
When God pours out His
blessings, giving you all you could ever want or need, never forget to honor
Him. Remember, it is the Lord who provides everything. Put your trust in Him
alone, for He will not share His glory with another and judges with perfect
justice.
When our children ask about the
meaning of the Torah, we are to tell them how the Lord delivered us from
darkness and brought us into His marvelous light. He commanded us to follow His
statutes so that we might walk in His blessings. The fear of the Lord is not
only wisdom—it is our very survival.
When the Lord grants us peace,
we must remain set apart, not entangled with the world’s values or systems. We
cannot compromise with a world that seeks to lead our children astray, turning
their hearts away from God. The Lord calls us to holiness because He loves us
deeply and desires to fulfill His promises through us.
Our stories are about the one
true God—a God of love and justice. He blesses those who love Him but stands
against the ways of hatred and rebellion. So, let us obey the Lord, for His law
is the path to abundant life. By following His ways, we open ourselves to His
blessings and protection, including healing and preservation from affliction.
God’s love for us is steadfast, and His faithfulness endures forever.
