Life is challenging. I know … I have a past.
But in living for over half a century I have learned this: For every person, there is an ultimate truth. Some people find it in religion; some in self expression. Some get lost in a bottle of booze or at the end of a joint or a line. But ultimately, the time comes when the question gets asked, “Is that all there is?”
For me, the Ultimate Truth, timeless and endlessly applicable is the Word of YHVH / the almighty God / Creator of all. Torah is the safety net, the lifeline to abundant living. There are those who may feel that it is restrictive and confining. But for me, it is like a toddler’s playpen. Within the confines of the playpen there is safety and freedom. The real pressure is beyond the boundaries of the playpen, having to constantly be on guard against the dangers of life.
Have I oversimplified? Many will think so. But I will tell you that for me, the pages of the Scriptures bring answers, confidence, direction, security, and freedom from many of life’s pressures. My plan is to read Scripture every day and share the gems I find along the way. I pray it is a blessing to you.
