The LORD is Faithful


ב  לָמָּה תִשְׁקְלוּ כֶסֶף בְּלוֹא לֶחֶם וִיגִיעֲכֶם בְּלוֹא לְשָׂבְעָה שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ אֵלַי וְאִכְלוּ-טוֹב וְתִתְעַנַּג בַּדֶּשֶׁן נַפְשְׁכֶם2 Why do you spend money for that which is not food and your gain for that which does not satisfie? Listen diligently to me, and you will eat that which is good, and your soul will be satisfied with abundance.
Isaiah 55

These days we all have been challenged to stop and carefully think on what is really essential and important in life. Obviously life and whatever will help to preserve it and achieve happiness. Redefining what is a joyful life. Too often there are those that even today are thinking of profit instead of saving lives. In their financial power than in ensuring what is needed for a healthy community. Yes, work with a just salary is needed, but without health our economy is meaningless. Society is discovering that  there is a great difference between wanting something (often a luxury) and what we really need.
Emotional, mental and spiritual health is also essential to function well in society. We can prevent illnesses by following the wisdom of those who have faced it and survived. We can also learn from those who have struggled in this journey and are still standing firm. Above all, listening (reading) carefully to the voice of GOD within the sacred text. Trusting in the Almighty. The LORD provides, especially the gift of life. Hold to the hope in the Faithful GOD. Do not give up.

יג  מַלְכוּתְךָ מַלְכוּת כָּל עֹלָמִים וּמֶמְשַׁלְתְּךָ בְּכָל-דּוֹר וָדֹר13 Your Kingdom (LORD) is a kingdom for all eternity, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
(
The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made.)
Psalm 145
