WOW - Word-of-the-Week

Have a blessed Fourth of July.  As we celebrate our freedom, we are a day
behind the celebration of the independence of Israel.

Today we look at רָעָה, ra’ah – shepherd.  As in Psalm 23:1, “The Lord is my
shepherd.”  He is our shepherd – leading us to green pastures (places where
we can be fed and meditate on the Word of God), watching over us even when
we are sleeping or resting and keeping us safe no matter what dire
circumstances we find ourselves in.  He is constantly tending to us, for us
and through us.  The Jews do not pronounce the tetragrmaton – YHWH – as we
do when we make the compound names of God as we.  The pronounce the inserted
vowel points for Adonai.  Where we say Jehovah Jireh, they would say Adonai
Yireh.  He is our Shepherd Who frees us from the brambles of life, always
seeking us when we stray and making sure all our needs are met.  He is more
than enough.

Baruch HaShem and Shalom.  Celebrate the independence and freedom He gives
us.


John 10:10
