P207 Parash 52 Vayelech D’varim / Deuteronomy Vayelech31:1-31:30
Synopsis
–
The theme of this portion is completion. In God, completion is a process that
includes a journey. Sometimes the journey is physical, sometimes it is purely
spiritual, and oftentimes it is both. Each human life is a journey. Adonai has
given us a travel itinerary or travel plan in His Word. WE know our destination
is to live with the Lord in His Heavenly Kingdom where the perfect
accommodations include a mansion that has been prepared for us ahead of time by
Yeshua. Adonai had always anticipated that man would not stick to the plans He
had given to us. He had to send leaders and prophets and judges to keep Israel
on the path and on schedule. Eventually, He sent Yeshua to help us find our way
back on track. Many weary travelers can tell about the value of traveling tricks
that helped to ease the burdens or pass the time during long journeys. The Lord
inspired songs for us in scripture that testify to His greatness. These songs
are recorded in the Tanakh, the Psalms, and even in the Book of Revelation. If
we are listening and paying attention, each of us will have learned the
necessary lessons along the way. If we have reached our destination, we will be
in a condition quite different than the one in which we started. In the end we
will be gathered with the upright and the prepared. We will be ready to cross
over into the eternal promises of the abundant life with the Lord in His
Kingdom.
