Blessed is our God, for there is NONE OTHER (‘ein od’) (Deut 4:39), Who created us for His glory to praise and magnify Him and speak about His Majesty as Creator-Redeemer and King of the Universe, as we sanctify Him by remembering and observing His Holy Shabbat.
His loving-kindness to us is greater than to any other nation (Lk 1:33).
Therefore with all our heart, soul and might we proclaim the ‘Shema’ (Mk 12:28-34), to proclaim His Supreme Kingship and Unique (Uniplural) Unity (Gen 1:26; Jn 10:30; 1 Jn 5:7) and the wisdom of the yoke of His commandments which in the DOING, bring liberty, by faith working in love, becoming “our life and the length of our days” (Deut 4:5-8; 32:47; Ps 119:45; Matt 5:17-19; 11:29,30; Jn 8:31,32,36,51,52; 14:15; James 1:22-25; 1 Jn 5:2&3).
May we be occupied with Torah (the entire narrative, Portion by Portion) AND the commandments (within it – Rom 3:31; 1 Cor 7:19), which through the Son of David, Wondrous Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, will bring and increase peace in the world through the House of Jacob knowing “the Way” of the LORD, to fulfil God’s commandment to Abraham (Gen 18:18,19; Is 2:2-4; 9:6,7; Zech 14:4,9; Mk 11:10; Lk 20:21; Rom 11; Eph 2:11,12).
Is 58:13,14 brings the limitless blessing of Jacob within the reach of every sincere Shabbat keeper (‘moreh Shabbat’).
If the many who reject Shabbat only knew what God has invested in Jacob’s life, they would RUN to welcome Shabbat and be last to leave it, to draw on every syllable of the prophesied blessing (Is 29:22-24; Matt 12:8; Lk 1:33)
HalleluYaH
