10 Miketz 2024

Being at peace helps insulate us from the harshness of life and forms a barrier to worldly thinking. The best way to be at peace is to trust in God and keep His commandments. Isaiah 26:3-4 NKJV says, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever." Learn to correct your values so they line up with God's light. We need to correct our values so they line up with God's commandments which are a light for life. Psalms 119:105-106 NKJV says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments. 

 We need to direct our life and hold onto what is good. God's commandments are "A tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who retain her;" Proverbs 3:18 NKJV. Learn to hold fast to truth. Put boundaries around your life in order to keep God's commandments. Do not follow ridiculous man-made commands, be sensible. People end up following man-made ideals instead of what God teaches. Use sensible extra precautions to avoid sin.
