Vayikra/Leviticus 19:15-32Most of our contemporaries within the framework of Christianity believe that Torah is an antiquated, archaic list of do’s and don’ts. Nevertheless, “the grass withers, and the flower fades, but the word of our YHVH stands forever.” Torah continually disclose the way in which everyday Israel is to live everyday lives.These instructions continue to have germane application for us and are beneficial to our well being. Some would argue that it is just a ridiculous thought to leave produce on the corners of a planted field or to leave sections of the harvest in the vineyard. Yes, if we do not have spiritual eyes, it does not make sense. However, the application of Torah precepts is very significant to the physical and spiritual realms of our lives. Devarim 15:4 states that, “There should be no poor among you, for in the land YHVH your Elohim is giving you to possess as your inheritance, He will richly bless you.” Not only should we be walking in Covenant with YHVH, but as we do, His blessings will overtake us. When we see those who are having a difficult time, we should always contribute to them from our possessions. YHVH is pleased with our righteous actions of obedience as our hearts are stirred with compassion to bless those around us with the portion of our tithes in the third year.The faces of men of YHVH should show forth the portions that are due to the orphan, widow, Levite and needy. The application of not harming the edges of beards or rounding side growths of heads seemingly applies to what YHVH has created upon man should not be frivolously removed. It should be reminders to all of Israel that what belongs to YHVH is His and cannot be cut off due to man's whims. YHVH determines what belongs to whom and who belongs to Him.The mere suggestion that YHVH’s teaching and instructions are archaic or are just a running checklist of do’s and don’ts is a serious breach of faith in YHVH. He has given all of Torah as the book of His character. This character is, in fact, the sanctification He places in our hearts by the Ruach HaKodesh to walk out His precepts. It is also the Book containing the distinctiveness of YHVH. It explains how we are to carefully pay heed to Who YHVH is, how He acts, why He takes specific actions, and why He allows us to walk in adversity. The scriptural catalog of do’s and don’ts gives way to a lifestyle that emanates from Heaven and provides us a roadway in the wilderness. Through Torah YHVH shows us a living example of creation, conviction and judgment for all of the hosts of heaven and earth to observe.The commandments of Torah give us practical understanding of His Covenant; and the principles of YHVH’s instructions provide us with the proofing ground to walk uprightly in holiness. We are commanded to keep Covenant with YHVH which establishes the true way (life) and warns us of the wrong way (death). He clearly marks the path before us. If we go astray into the realm of death, Torah guides us back through the power of His Ruach to the Way, the Truth and the Life. When YHVH translates us from darkness into His marvelous Light, He inscribes Torah upon our hearts and His Ruach leads us by His saving grace. He is likened to an automated warning system that has been enabled inside our hearts when we choose Life and die to the old man and our former sin nature.Moreover, Torah is the benchmark for the most prevalent test of all—the confirmation that Yeshua is Messiah and the Son of YHVH and YHVH in the form of man. When we miscomprehend Torah, we do not fully understand Messiah and have been building upon faulty foundation. We are told to test every spirit. When we hold Messiah up to the Light of YHVH’s Word, there is no mistaking that He is the Light of the world. When we live in His Light, and become light bearers of Him in this dark world, He is exhibited as the Word of YHVH in our lives. We are to put our hands to the plow to walk in the commandments because we love Him. We are called to be the walking and breathing character of YHVH by way of faith and obedience to His directives as is our created function in His likeness.Dwell upon Isaiah 55:10-11, For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth, and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eaterSee full article here (link)
