'Advice & Humility'
In this world of 'chaos', our relationships either suffer or flourish. Just alike this weeks Torah Portion (Yitro/Jethro), the advice given by father-in-law Yitro proved to be the WISDOM needed by Moshe when his own people were amid the chaos and turmoil of a 'waiting period' prior to receiving Adonai's blessing of Torah.
Moshe, whom many consider the most humble of men, remained 'humble' and centered on the Kingdom.
Are we 'humble' enough to solicit advice from our family in Yeshua?
I encourage you to read Amir's 'bible bite' below. It is a fine example of the fact that as a body of Yeshua, we complete one another !
"If you run this race thinking about everything around you, you will always - always - end up being weary and discouraged in your soul. And, of course, it will affect your health. You’ll become anxious. You’ll get discouraged. You’ll hide yourself away from other believers. And that's when you fall down the rabbit hole. Where should your eyes be? Looking at Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith. Now I have a question for you. Where is Jesus right now? The Bible says He's seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Where is the throne of God? Look up. So as you run this race of life, your eyes need to be looking up toward Christ. Don’t spend your time looking to the right or to the left, because all that’s going to do is bring worry and anxiety and discouragement. One of the things I will never forget about growing up a Jewish boy was going to synagogue. I would go on the Jewish holidays and see all of the men with their glasses down their noses, as they read their prayers from a book. As they read, they would look around and around and around, judging the holiness of the people around them and hoping that others would see theirs. And I would think to myself, it's a prayer and they look everywhere but to God. We can easily be just like that. All day long we’re running our race, looking at the people around us instead of fixing our eyes on Jesus." |
