It is possible for a person to have a completely incorrect understanding of how Hashem interacts with us, stemming from misconceptions about concepts they learned as a child. For example, Chazal teach us that Hashem punishes midda keneged midda —measure for measure. Some people might perceive this as a form of revenge, chas v'shalom , as if to say, "If you act that way, I will do the same to you." This interpretation is a complete distortion of what midda keneged midda truly is. The Alshich explains this concept through a pasuk in Tehillim: ולך ה' חסד, כי אתה תשלם לאיש כמעשהו —"To You, Hashem, is kindness, for You repay a person according to their deeds." Hashem performs a tremendous act of chesed by ensuring that the consequence a person faces corresponds directly to their misdeed. Initially, Hashem grants a person time to do teshuva without any punishment. If the person does not repent, Hashem, in His compassion, does not want the sin to remain on their record. As an act of chesed , He provides a consequence designed to awaken the person to recognize their wrongdoing and inspire them to do teshuva . Hashem desires for each person to attain eternal happiness, which sin would jeopardize. Midda keneged midda is one of Hashem's many acts of love, designed to guide us toward a better path. Consider the following story: A man was confined to a wheelchair, and his wife managed their household efficiently. They were known for their hospitality, opening their home to many people seeking a meal or solace. One regular visitor became so accustomed to their generosity that he treated their home as his own, staying for hours and unintentionally straining their hospitality. Eventually, the couple moved to a new, more spacious apartment on the fifth floor. Although this would typically be challenging for someone in a wheelchair, the building had an elevator that went directly to their floor. However, on their first day in the new apartment, the elevator malfunctioned, stopping only at the fourth floor. Each day, the husband needed assistance carrying his wheelchair down one flight of stairs and back up again—a significant inconvenience. As days passed without the elevator being fixed, the wife recalled a story she had heard. A family once moved without informing a poor, lonely man who regularly visited them for food every Friday. On their first day in their new home, the woman encountered a scorpion in her kitchen. Though they killed it, another appeared the next morning. Realizing something unusual was happening, they consulted their rabbi. The rabbi opened Perek Shira and pointed out the scorpion's song: "And His mercies are upon all His creations." He suggested they reflect on whether they had failed to show compassion to someone. The couple remembered their oversight in not notifying the lonely man about their move. They sought him out, informed him of their new address, and invited him to continue visiting. After this, the scorpions stopped appearing. The wife related this story to her husband and suggested that their situation was similar. They wanted Hashem to have pity on them, yet they had not shown compassion to the guest who was accustomed to visiting them. They realized they had failed to inform him about their move. That very day, they reached out to him and reassured him that he was welcome to visit whenever he wanted. By the next morning, the elevator was fixed. Someone hearing this story might think Hashem was punishing the family for their lack of compassion. However, that is not the correct perspective. Hashem knew how much they gained from their chesed toward this guest and wanted to ensure they didn't lose out on those eternal merits. In His kindness, He gave them a reminder to continue their good deeds. Everything Hashem does is an act of chesed . We need to train ourselves to see events in this light and maintain the proper perspective

Today's podcast begins with host Mike Slater taking a call from a father about how his daughter doesn't think Kamala Harris is cool or smart anymore based on a recent interview that she did. Hilarious stuff.

It's his belief that the Kamala Harris campaign is collapsing before all our eyes! You'll want to hear his rationale for this one as it's both entertaining and informative!
In this passage from Philippians 1, Paul models the right perspective amid difficulty and challenges. He first shows us the proper perspective for difficult circumstances, focusing not on his difficulty but on what God is doing. He then helps us to have the right perspective on difficult people, modeling not a desire to fight back or justify himself but to glorify Christ. In all of life's difficulties, we can trust that God has a purpose and seek to glorify him. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

A Proper Perspective Isaiah 6:1-13
In this message, join Pastor Nick as we examine Ecclesiastes 3 and how King Solomon reflects on the nature of time and its perceived meaning—or lack thereof—in our lives. Solomon writes about the various seasons we encounter, emphasizing that every activity under the sun has its time. While his initial observations might feel bleak or futile, he ultimately points us towards a greater understanding.1. **The Predicament**: - Solomon begins by describing the “predicament” we all face with time. He lists 14 pairs of opposites (e.g., a time to be born, and a time to die) to illustrate that life's experiences often seem to cancel each other out, making our efforts seem meaningless (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). Ecclesiastes 3:1 - “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” 2. **The Proper Perspective**: - However, Solomon shifts to offer a “proper perspective.” He acknowledges that while time can seem repetitive and mundane, God has made everything beautiful in its time and has set eternity in the human heart (Ecclesiastes 3:11). This eternal perspective brings purpose and hope into our daily lives. Ecclesiastes 3:11 – He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Habakkuk 2:3 – “This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.” C.S. Lewis – “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” 3. **The Petition**: - Finally, Solomon gives us two practical applications: - Enjoy life. Embrace the simple joys and blessings as a gift from God (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13). - Fear and trust God. Recognize His sovereignty and control over all seasons and moments, cultivating a deep reverence and trust in His plan (Ecclesiastes 3:14-15). Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 - “I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.” Ecclesiastes 14-15 – “I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him. Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.” God is already in your tomorrow! 2Rivers Church in O'Fallon, MO, exists to help people become passionate followers of Jesus.
