Jesus is Jewish, so I study the Torah. For this weeks Torah Portion I studied Shabbat Bereishit — “Shabbat of Beginning” — the first Shabbat of the annual Torah reading cycle, on which the Torah section of Bereishit (“In the Beginning”) is read.

When facing giants, trust in the promises.
Hold firmly to that truth and encourage other believers to trust too. Together, as we walk in belief and trust, we will not only see our Lord slay giants and move mountains, we will also live in rest knowing we will soon walk into his promised land.
Becoming
I sit in my desk chair this morning weeping. Reading in scripture “For it is He who trusted who enter the rest” Hebrews 4: 3.
