16 Beshalach 2026

God gives us blessings in life through His commandments, the Holy Spirit through the Messiah Yeshua, and as the world's provider. We are a blessed people. Psalm 112:1 NKJV says, "Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in His commandments." We have good judgment and knowledge through God. Psalms 119:66 NKJV says, "Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe Your commandments." What God has given us is wonderful and God gives us understanding for life. Psalms 119:129-130 says, "Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple." The creator God is our provider. Psalms 104:10-13 NKJV says, "He sends the springs into the valleys; they flow among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. By them the birds of the heavens have their home;

they sing among the branches. He waters the hills from His upper chambers; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works." God brings blessings to the world, and we should want to be a people who are a blessing to others and bring blessings by how we live.

God's commandments teach us how to be good. Leviticus 19:18-19 NKJV says, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD. You shall keep My statutes." As we learn and keep God's commandments, we learn to love others as ourselves. Psalms 107:9 NKJV "For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness." Most people long for goodness to triumph. That is why people are attracted to movies that have a hero in them. In a way, God is our hero who helps us to do what is right and good. So, as believers, we want other people to also have personal and spiritual success. God wants us to succeed. Isaiah 48:18 NKJV says, "Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea." There are probably thousands of scriptures that demonstrate the goodness of God. We should be willing to learn how to be a people who follow God and emulate the goodness of God.
