MEDITATION ON SUCCESS

"Do not let this Book of Law (The Torah) depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." (Joshua 1:8)

"Great success, like disgrace, can bring great trouble. Success which advances ego can make you lose your way." (Tao 13.)

A lawyer once commented to me, "If you preachers ever convince people to live by the Ten Commandments, I will be out of business". Now there is a thought: lawyers out of business!

Doing God's will is the only real guarantee of success. Beginning with the Ten Commandments, we must first learn the laws by which God guarantees success. To learn these laws is not just a mental exercise but the beginning of a way of living, a way which brings the reward of joyful success. Successful people are often asked, "What is the secret of your success?" One person responded..."To live life fully by doing rather than talking".

Maybe that is what is meant by the words in Joshua quoted above. Obedience to God brings happiness, which is real success!

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way.

A blessed Seventh Sunday after Pentecost (and Orthodox Commemoration of the Holy Unmercenary Healer Panteleimon) to all!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Rain? Mowing all done for now?

I’m glad we got 6/10” of rain, but it is toasty today and the wet spots are all dry again. Watering will need to be done tomorrow...soaking.

[lightman]

About 4 inches total for July, more or less average, and five days to go!

Overnight “Lo” this morning was 72 with 100% humidity.

“Good morning, Vietnam”

Howdy, Kathy.

Mowing isn’t done yet because it takes so long to do it. Have to creep because the grass is so long and thick. I did get some done the last four days and pray for two more days without rain here. Then I can mow the front and back yards and be caught up at last.
There’s been some rain in the area but not here at the farm.

It was nice to see you got some rain yesterday. It would have been nice to get more but 6/10 isn’t bad.
Nice day up there today, though fewer clouds would have been nice. More sunshine so you could sit on the deck and soak up a little of the rays.
