The sages say on the day of death, one considers one’s life as if it had been a single day. Life goes by so quickly, and we never know when our personal Rosh Hashanah will come. “No one knows the day or hour…” That’s why it is so vital to be healed and to turn to God while there is still time. So turn to him today and bacharta ba’chayim – “choose life!” “For this commandment (of turning to God in teshuvah) is not hidden from you, and it is not far away. It is not in heaven… nor across the sea…. Rather, the matter is very near you – in your mouth and your heart – to do it” (Deut. 30:11-14; cp. Rom. 10:8-13).
Despite the frailty and brevity of our days, may it please God to shine the power of His radiance upon us and to establish our works for His praise. May He help us to “number our days” so that we may obtain levav chokhmah (לְבַב חָכְמָה) – a heart of wisdom to live according to His will (James 1:5). Above all else, may the “God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of Glory (אֲבִי הַכָּבוֹד), impart to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the “eyes of your hearts” (ὀφθαλμοὺς τῆς καρδίας) enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you” (Eph. 1:17-18). May you be strong, resolute, and fully focused on our LORD, chaverim. Amen. – John
