Parashat Korach
We are in a trying time. There are many challenges we are facing on multiple fronts as a nation, and no one is left untouched.
We see chaos, illness, division, shame, accusation, contempt, schemes, and wickedness. With all of this swirling around us, and with emotions running high, we are at a greater risk of being sucked into and caught up in offense, skepticism, criticality and harsh judgment.
In all of that we endure, we have the choice to become those who lift up or those who tear down. We must guard our hearts and minds, always pursuing truth and goodness from a foundation of love and peace, for the love of God can redeem!
God can bring restoration and there is hope for the future! Stand firm and endure!
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
ephesians 6:13
