Today is 39th day of the Omer.

Matthew 8:16-17 TLV
¹⁶ When evening came, the people brought to Him (Yeshua) many who were afflicted by demons. He forced out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. ¹⁷ So was fulfilled what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

“He Himself took our sicknesses
    and carried away our diseases.”

Matthew 8:17 comes from Isaiah 53:4.

Tonight we all read Psalms 103:1-12 TLV

As a Father Has Compassion

Psalm 103

¹ Of David.
Bless Adonai, O my soul,
and all that is within me, bless His holy Name.
² Bless Adonai, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits:
³ He forgives all your iniquity.
He heals all your diseases.
⁴ He redeems your life from the Pit.
He crowns you with lovingkindness and compassions.
⁵ He satisfies your years with good things,
so that your youth is renewed like an eagle.

⁶ Adonai executes justice—
judgments for all who are oppressed.
⁷ He made His ways known to Moses,
His deeds to the children of Israel.
⁸ Adonai is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, and plentiful in mercy.
⁹ He will not always accuse,
nor will He keep His anger forever.
¹⁰ He has not treated us according to our sins,
or repaid us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is His mercy for those who fear Him.
¹² As far as the east is from the west,
so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

By Rabbi Simon Jacobson DAY 39    NETZACH OF YESOD: Endurance in Bonding

Tuesday evening, May 24  we count thirty-nine days of the Omer. An essential component of bonding is its endurance; its ability to withstand challenges and setbacks. Without endurance there is no chance to develop true bonding. Am I totally committed to the one with whom I bond? How much will I endure and how ready am I to fight to maintain this bond? Is the person I bond with aware of my devotion? Exercise for the day:  Demonstrate the endurance level of your bonding by confronting a challenge that obstructs the bond.
