Walking the Path of Ancient Laws in Modern Times

Walking the Path of Ancient Laws in Modern Times

I’m excited to connect with you today as we get into some fascinating insights from the Torah portion, Mishpatim as featured on my podcast, Perfect Body. While exploring the deeper connections between spirituality and self-discovery, let’s take this journey together.

 Exploring the Perfect Body Within 

First, let me remind you that you are perfectly made by God. Let that sink in. As we journey through this, remember that our goal is to heal our hearts and pursue love and peace in our relationships, all while deepening our understanding of God’s Word. Whether you’re at the beginning or well along in your spiritual path, I’m here every step of the way with you. If you need me, feel free to reach out anytime.

Understanding God’s Laws and Our True Selves

We’re knee-deep into Exodus, one of the first five books of the Bible that offers profound insights into God’s laws and guidance for our lives. Following the trail of the Israelites as they navigate their newfound freedom from slavery, we see a transformation—not just in their journey but in our understanding of God and ourselves.

Journey Through Exodus

Reading through Exodus chapters 21 to 24, we get a peek into God’s laws, a cornerstone of our faith. These laws, found in Mishpatim, provide a framework for justice and righteousness. For instance, God’s emphasis on honoring our parents is paramount: respect and honor lead to a fulfilling and long life. It’s a principle that stands the test of time.

Addressing Human Trafficking

Reflecting on these teachings brings us to modern-day issues like human trafficking. It’s sad, and yet God’s Word provides clarity: injustice has no place in His kingdom. All kidnappers will die according to the judgment of God. Whether they stole the child or bought the child, they are both guilty. When we uncover these truths, we find a deep longing for justice and an assurance that God’s guidance is always relevant.

 Experiencing Divine Protection and Angelic Encounters  

We serve an amazing God who sends angels to guide us, much like He did for the Israelites. There’s a peace that comes from knowing we’re not alone, protected by angels that we might not even recognize at first glance. I talked about my own encounter with an angel in Buffalo, New York, which confirmed the presence of benevolent angels surrounding me, guiding my path.

Inspired by God’s Majesty

Can you imagine the scene at Mount Sinai? God’s presence was like a devouring fire, just like we recently experienced when watching videos of the Palisades fires in California. It’s a powerful image that inspires awe and reverence. It’s a strong reminder to cultivate the fear of the Lord, not out of dread, but profound respect and recognition of His sovereignty.

Continuing the Journey Together

As we wrap up our exploration of Mishpatim, I invite you to stay engaged. If you’ve found any part of this enlightening, share it with someone who needs upliftment. Let’s continue to grow together, trusting God, learning and loving along the way.

Until next time, remember to love God, love you, and love others with an open heart, and let love transform your life.
