“Émigrér out of her my people”

“Émigrér out of her my people” 

In my little Sukkah, which teaches me everything, is a desert without limits. 

Its four posts; prayer, meditation, fasting, and manual work, are strong. 

Monstrous distractions weaken over time with a little trust.

Restored to the few are the orderly maps of the internal landscape; 

Torah; Joshua's easy yoke. 

More than 2700 years of rebellion leaves much debris to clear from the old paths.  

Joy in the house that Jacob built, fuels us to do the impossible.  Alone, we pioneer for the many who will return together along the arc of exile. 

Sand on the shore and stars in the heavens, yet only a remnant for The Happy Ending here on earth.

"Come away with me"

Fathering in the wilderness.

It’s a journey.  As pioneers back into following The Maker’s Instructions we ask ourselves why us and not others.  There are some answers to that.  For example I think that I was always an outsider due to circumstances beyond my control.  This made it easier for me to wander off into the wilderness with YHWH.  But I still found that I ended up being “pew filler” for some man with a ministry, always looking for the leader who could tell me what to think.  Or at times I just got depressed and overwhelmed with the situation of being alone. 

There is a “crisis in masculinity”, we have often not been fathered or at least not well.  Into that vacuum comes all sorts of sickness.  The unhealthy “masculine counterfeit” tries to conform people into its own image or submit inappropriately to others.  It tries to explain everything and doesn’t cope well with not having “all the answers” and explanations. It’s not good at being like a little child before Him. Following The Maker’s Instructions will be affected by these things.  We have not been pioneering in vain.  The Father knows that the very wilderness experience brings up to the surface these things.  Either we burn ourselves out trying to please Him (His yoke is easy, His burden is light) or we will crash into something or other (pride comes before a fall).  All this is in His full knowledge.  He is waiting for us “while we are a long way off” to heal and fill all the gaps in our hearts.   He is doing what He promised he would.  It’s all about Him.  

There are those who understand much about our “unfatheredness” yet they will never be able to help much if they stagnate, refusing to see the place of the Torah in the healing journey. They can only heal a little.  YHWH heals completely. Come out of her my people.  Follow The Maker’s Instructions.  Have courage and wait in the vacuum, between Judaism and Christianity(we can still learn from both).  In the wilderness of the nations.  Watch and see what He will do. Greater is the exodus to come than the wonderful one we remember each Passover. HalleluYah.
