    860 The Blessed Man Meditates on Torah (Psalm 1)

    This is a text I was made to memorize in Christian school, but I believe it's a text that most Christians don't truly understand. Any-time is a good time to meditate (speak of, think on, memorize, etc.) Yahweh's teachings, instructions, and guidance.

    I consider both the standard, Christian interpretation of this text as well as the common “Hebrew Roots” interpretation, and then walk through and give an alternate understanding. Hosea 6:6 is paramount here. It must be understood that in the realm of keeping the commandments, sometimes two commands collide and doing one is more important than doing the other.

    In contrast to Barnabus' devotion to the Apostolic community, Ananias and Sapphira try to be deceptive and end up in a bad place. We should always be honest with what Yahweh has entrusted us with. Our vows should be upheld in fear and reverence.

    We are called to judge, accuse, and love, but we are called to do those things in accordance with Yahweh's instructions.
