Embrace the Within no. 86

"People may excite in themselves a glow of compassion…by going and seeking an object that requires compassion."

Henry Ward Beecher

If you want to see what is really important to people, shut off the electricity, shut off the internet router, and cancel church. Last night something happened to the wireless router and there was much anger and gnashing of teeth about the situation. There were deals bargained with a plastic box. There were conversations made with a created thing. It was definitely a learning experience. Today that lifeless thing is still just sitting there drawing electricity and doing nothing. Taking and providing nothing.

I wasn’t making deals with the box. I wasn’t upset. I knew that there was going to be a way for me to do all that I needed with or without that lifeless box. And, of course, what verse was waiting for me first this morning BUT one to remind me of just to whom I should be concerned first and foremost, “But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Don’t worry about tomorrow — tomorrow will worry about itself! Today has enough tsuris already” (Mattiyahu 6:33-34 CJB).

There is enough with which to be concerned today that is not Adonai. I can get distracted by other things or I can give my direction, my body, my mind, my heart, and my everything to the Father. I get to make that decision. Am I going to worry about a created thing or worry more about the Creator of all things?

Shavua tov. Shalom to your home. Bless your being. The reign of YHWH is now. Be a blessing to YHWH and others.
