Be Strong and of Good Courage (Joshua 1)

Thoughts and Prayers from Jerusalem

Shalom from Jerusalem!

Four need strengthening: Torah, good deeds, prayer, and respect.

Brachot 32

The sages were on target, even thousands of years ago. If you get too wrapped up in popular culture, your value system will topple like a house of cards.

First, your connection with God's Word will grow shaky.

Then, you will begin thinking "what's in it for me" more often, and your efforts to help others will diminish.

Then, your relationship with God will grow even dimmer, and you will seek Him out through prayer even less.

Finally, your respect for others will disappear.

This affiliation between Divine (man and God) and social (man and man) aspects of our lives are truly what makes us tick, and it is imperative that we strengthen it. The good news is--strengthening one leg will reinforce them all.

Today, strengthen your commitment to prayer.
