Jacob is lead out of his father’s house and to a “certain place.” That place would propel him into a personal crisis of faith. In the end his journey could be summed up in the question; Which dust do you choose? Same question is being asked of us today.

We start with an update from our recent Israel tour.

Sarah comes to the end of her life, but what a life it was. She is only mentioned one other time in the Hebrew Scriptures, but her legacy is on most every page. The seeking of a bride for Isaac contains a lesson we must live out if we are to live on.

Success, failure, good days and bad, Abraham models a life of being whole hearted but not perfect. Contrasting Abraham’s life with Lot’s gives us a clear choice for life in our day. What direction we pitch our tent really does matter.

If you can’t trust the first words, you will never trust the last words. “Did God really say?” is a question we must deal with once and for all. Was there death prior to Adam? Was the garden a garden? Were the trees really trees? Did God really say what He meant or was he just trying to confuse us?

Moshe speaks his last words over the multitudes of Jacob’s offspring. In the blessings are wonderful truths concerning them. Each tribe would be different in personality and calling. That same message hold true today. Yah does not call us to be the same, but rather to celebrate our differences in Him.

Understanding our destiny determines our identity which directs us to our destiny.

The defect is not Him, but us. He has given mankind a recall notice. The repair is at no charge to us, but you do have to show up at the shop.

Moshe begins the final words of his final message to those standing on the edge of their destiny. It is not that he is physically unable to take on the task, but rather he is spiritually unable and maybe for more reasons than his recent failure. With his death would come success, but eventual failure. Could his death prophesied another event?

As we enter into the Fall Feasts, what is the difference between Yom Teruah and Rosh haShanna? Which should we celebrate? Could the answer be, yes? The Hebrews had been standing and not are called to take a stand. Is history repeating itself?

It is easy to miss a very important message in the title of this week’s Torah portion. The question the message brings forth is, are we in the covenant or on our way to the covenant? Deuteronomy 28 is a chapter of choice. Which part do we desire to walk in? Let’s bring the words into our own culture and see how it speaks to us.

In life, we will have battles. With Yah it is determined for us to win every battle as long as we do not treat the battleground like a playground. Are we created in “God’s image” today or in Adams image? Are we guilty of Adam’s sin or of walking in his footsteps? Keep watch over those in the rear of the pack!
