1st Quarter Shabbat Meditation [Shaalosh]

Observation of the 1st quarter Shabbat for the month of Shaalosh.

Praise The Most High and be encouraged!

Shabbat Meditation:

'Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in Him will not be disappointed.” For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,” and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for The Most High’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. In the past, you were not a people, but now are The Most High’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. '

1 Peter 2:6-10

Shalom!

May The Most High bless you, and keep you [protect you, sustain you, and guard you]; The Most High make His face shine upon you [with favor], And be gracious to you [surrounding you with love and kindness]; May The Most High lift up His countenance (face) upon you [with divine approval], And give you Shalom [peace and blessings]." Numbers 6:24-26
