Do You Know Before Whom You Stand?
Rosh Hashanah, The Head/Start of the Year, is September 16, 2023. We are in the last reading of the Torah scroll, Nitzavim-Vayelech and in the last days of the 40 days of teshuvah = repentance.
It has been a glorious time of personal discovery through which I am as clear as I have ever been as to my purpose to exist and DA LIFNEI MI ATTAH OMED – Know Before Whom You Stand.
“Knowing that we stand before God at all times is the essential fear of the LORD and the beginning of wisdom.
“It’s also easier said than done….It’s easier to study about practicing the presence of God than it is to do it.”
“How many times in a day do you realize that your head has been filled with busy thoughts (some less noble than others), selfish ideas, unkind sentiments, vain amusements, and entertainments, but not at all focused on the presence of the LORD? That tends to be the rule and not the exception. The exception to the rule occurs when you actually do have God in mind, keeping yourself aware of His ever-abiding presence. There’s no need to reproach yourself or feel any sense of guilt or failure in this matter. Instead, every time you realize that you have wandered from His presence, just pray, ‘Father, forgive me for neglecting you. Help me to keep a clear vision of you before my eyes. Without your help, I will never do better on my own. My heart always wanders after this world’s distractions.’”
First Fruits of Zion, Torah Club “The Beginning of Wisdom” Lesson 51-52
May this new year be one in which you surrender fully to the reality and Truth of DA LIFNEI MI ATTAH OMED.
