Today is 48th day of the Omer.

Justice of the Kingdom

Psalm 146 TLV

¹ Halleluyah! Praise Adonai, O my soul!
² I will praise Adonai all my life.
I will praise my God yet again.
³ Do not put your trust in princes—
in man, in whom there is no salvation.
⁴ His breath departs,
he returns to his dust.
In that very day his plans perish.
⁵ Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in Adonai his God,
⁶ who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps truth forever,
⁷ who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives bread to the hungry.
Adonai sets the prisoners free.
⁸ Adonai opens the eyes of the blind.^[a]
Adonai raises up those who are bowed down.
Adonai loves the righteous.
⁹ Adonai protects outsiders,
upholds the fatherless and the widow,
but thwarts the way of the wicked.
¹⁰ Adonai will reign forever,
your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
Halleluyah!

Matthew 9:27-31 TLV
²⁷ As Yeshua went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Ben-David, have mercy on us!”

²⁸ When He went into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Yeshua said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”

“Yes, Master,” they said to Him.

²⁹ Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith, let it be done for you.” ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Yeshua warned them sternly, “See that no one knows.” ³¹ But they went out and spread the news about Him all around that region.

By Rabbi Simon Jacobson DAY 48    YESOD OF MALCHUT: Humility in Nobility

Thursday evening, June 2  we count forty – eight days of the Omer. Examine the bonding aspect of your sovereignty. Healthy independence should not prevent you from bonding with another person. On the contrary: self-confidence allows you to respect and trust another’s sovereignty and ultimately bond with him. That bond will strengthen your own sovereignty, rather than sacrifice it. Does my sovereignty prevent me from bonding? Could that be because of deeper insecurities of which I am unaware? Do I recognize the fact that a fear of bonding reflects a lack of self-confidence in my own sovereignty?  Exercise for the day: Actualize your sovereignty by intensifying your bond with a close one.
