“A person’s obedience is to what he sees to be a need— our Lord’s obedience was to the will of His Father. The rallying cry today is, “We must get to work! The heathen are dying without God. We must go and tell them about Him.” But we must first make sure that God’s “needs” and His will in us personally are being met. Jesus said, “…tarry…until you are endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). The purpose of our Christian training is to get us into the right relationship to the “needs” of God and His will. Once God’s “needs” in us have been met, He will open the way for us to accomplish His will, meeting His “needs” elsewhere.” -OC 🌾 Amen amen, as we finish counting the Omer and celebrate the giving of the Torah and the Ruach HaKodesh let us commit ourselves once again to refrain from being “Torah terrorists” and trying to be the Holy Spirit in other people’s lives. The deficits of others can seem so huge and glaring to us, but we must only say the words the Father gives us. We see our intentions as so benevolent and kind and pure, but the heart.... oh the heart! It tricks us so many times doesn’t it? We must first begin each day laying OURSELVES before the Shepherd and allow Him to inspect us. To pull out yesterday’s burrs. To tend to the aggravations from yesterday’s pests. And finally to cup our chin in His hand, look in our eyes, and tell us once again.....my little lamb, today you must try even harder to listen for my voice and do my bidding. I see all the things and I am trying to keep not just you but all the other lambs at peace. So please listen and obey Me.” #happyshavuot #shavuotsameach #messianic #moedim #pentecost #obedienceisbetterthansacrifice #leviticus23 #shemaisrael #oswaldchambers
In the old country there was a very poor, Jewish wagon driver. He worked day and night yet he could never save a penny. He could no longer bear coming home to his wife without any money, so he went to the Rebbe for help. The Rebbe’s advise was: “Become a magid” (A magid is a travelling preacher who went from town to town urging Jews to strive harder in the observance of the Torah). “Rebbe!” said the shocked wagon driver, “how could I possibly be a magid, I have never spoken in public and I do not know anything!”
The Rebbe told him: “Resemble the honeybee and not the spider.”The spider grabs and grabs and keeps everything for itself; the honeybee collects and gives everything away”.
The wagon driver followed the Rebbe’s advice, and in his work listened to what wise people said, then he shared it as a magid. Eventually he was successful and could feed his family and educate his children in the Torah ways. #shavuatov Hope you have a beautiful week filled with opportunities to be like the bee🐝🐝🐝 #dailymitzvah #quarantinemitzvah #quarantinechallenge #prisonerofhope #encourageeachother #dountoothersasyouwouldhavethemdountoyou #whatishatefultoyoudonotdotoyoirneighbor #torahlife
