STABILITY

,םָלוֹעָה ךֶלֶמ וּניֵהֹלֱא הוהי הָּתאַ ךוּרָּב .םִיָּמַה לַע ץֶראָָה עַקוֹר Blessed are You, Adonai, our God, Majesty of the world, who spreads stable land above the water.

LEARNING

One of the first things God did during Creation was to collect the waters and expose the dry land, which offers us so much, including stability.

REFLECTION

What stable and unstable relationships are in your life? What else has stability or instability for you: finances, physical and mental health, social position? In what way can you thank God for what is stable and pray for that which feels unstable?

INSPIRATION

It’s mind-boggling to consider that the same water that flowed on Earth in ancient times is still flowing today, connecting every human who ever lived! PERSONAL PRAYER

God, thank You for the perfect balance You created in this world. We need water to live, yet cannot survive when enveloped in it. In this we learn to bring balance into our hearts. Life-giving water connects us to every living thing, reminding us we’re part of the magnificent story that is life on earth. And Your hand is in it all.
