Chayei Sarah (“The Life of Sarah”) is such a tender and paradoxical portion. It begins with Sarah’s passing yet speaks profoundly about legacy, love, and faith continuing through generations.

“And the life of Sarah was one hundred and twenty-seven years…”

The portion that begins with Sarah’s death is not about loss, but life, a life lived in covenant faith, and a legacy that endures through generations. Chayei Sarah reminds us that the true measure of life is not found in its length, but in the faith that fills it.

In these readings, Abraham’s deep love for Sarah is seen in how he honors her, not only in grief but in the dignity with which he secures her resting place. Faithfulness becomes his language of love. Then, in seeking a wife for Isaac, we see God’s providence at work again, Rebekah’s kindness by the well echoes Sarah’s spirit, showing that God’s promises flow through generations of those who trust Him.

The thread continues through 1 Kings, where David, now old and frail, prepares to pass on his mantle of leadership. Just as Abraham entrusts his covenant to Isaac, David entrusts the kingdom to Solomon. Both stories speak of legacy, stewardship, and the faith that outlives us.

In 1 Corinthians, Paul draws the circle complete: “This mortal must put on immortality.” Death, though real, does not have the final word. Life in God continues beyond the grave, not ended, but transformed.

Chayei Sarah calls us to see that every act of faith, every prayer, every kindness, every step of obedience, becomes part of a story that continues long after us. The life of faith is never wasted. It is seed sown in eternity.

This week, honour the lives that have shaped your faith. Remember the ones whose prayers still echo through your story. Every act of trust, every step of obedience becomes part of a story that outlives us.

Live in such a way that your faith becomes someone else’s beginning, that your trust in God becomes a legacy, a testimony of life that continues long after the final chapter, because a life of faith never truly ends — it multiplies!

Every small step of faith holds power.

VaYera (“And He appeared”) is one of the most profound Torah portions, revealing God’s presence in the ordinary and the extraordinary, in the tent, the promise, the mercy, and the testing of faith.

“And the Lord appeared to him…”

These words open a window into divine intimacy, a God who draws near, not in thunder or fire, but in the quiet shade of a tent on an ordinary afternoon. Abraham sits beneath the oaks of Mamre, and heaven meets earth in the simple act of hospitality.

VaYera, reveals a God who still appears, not only in visions and miracles, but in moments of compassion, courage, and surrender. From Abraham’s tent to the mountain of Moriah, we watch a man walk with God through promise and testing. We see Sarah laugh at the impossible, Lot rescued from destruction, and a son laid upon an altar, all threads woven into the great story of redemption.

In 2 Kings, we meet another woman whose faith makes room for God’s power, the Shunammite, who receives the impossible promise of a son and later witnesses resurrection through her trust. In Peter’s words, we’re reminded that even amid the corruption and confusion of the world, God knows how to rescue the righteous, those who cling to Him in faith.

The beauty of VaYera is not just that God appeared to Abraham, but that He still appears, to all who make space for Him. He appears in the waiting heart, in the act of kindness, in the quiet yes of surrender. To see God is to allow His presence to redefine what is possible.

This week, make space for divine interruption. Look for God in the small moments, in your conversations, your hospitality, your waiting. Believe that He still appears, still speaks, still fulfills His promises, even when the laughter of disbelief trembles on your lips.

L**h L**ha (“Go for yourself” or “Get yourself”), marks a turning point in Scripture: the beginning of covenant faith and the invitation to step into the unknown.

“Go from your country, your people, and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.”

With these words, God calls Abram out of the familiar and into a promise not yet visible. L**h L**ha is more than a physical journey, it is an invitation to inner transformation. The Hebrew phrase can be read as “Go to yourself” or “Go for yourself,” implying that in leaving behind what is known, Abram would discover who he truly was in God.

This portion weaves a divine pattern: the call, the covenant, and the faith to follow. In Genesis, we watch Abram walk by faith, not sight, carrying the weight of promise into a land unseen.

Isaiah echoes this hope, reminding us that the Everlasting God does not grow tired or weary, and that those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength.

Paul later draws the line from Abram’s faith to our own, that righteousness is not earned through effort, but received through trust in the One who calls us forward.

L**h L**ha teaches us that spiritual maturity is not found in comfort, but in surrender. God’s call rarely comes with a map, only a promise. Yet as Abram stepped forward, blessing followed. Each step of faith brought revelation, of God’s character, of covenant, and of Abram’s true identity.

This is the story of every believer: the leaving and the becoming. The God who called Abram still whispers L**h L**ha to each of us, “Go. Trust. Step into what I will show you.”

What is God calling you to leave behind so He can lead you into something new?
This week, take one step, however small, toward the promise He’s placed on your heart. Let faith, not fear, be your compass, and remember: every step of obedience is a step deeper into His blessing. – Shabbat Shalom friends 💚

True Awe – Not Tricks, But Glory...

The world chases after shadows, seeking moments of thrill in what is fleeting. But there’s no wonder in imitation, and no lasting light in darkness. Our God is not a trick or a tale.

He is the living, holy, awe-inspiring Creator of heaven and earth.

His presence shakes mountains and stills storms. His love raises the dead and restores the broken.

Why settle for cheap thrills when we’ve been invited into divine wonder?

Why play with shadows when the Light of the World walks among us?

The enemy distracts with imitation, but God reveals Himself in transformation.

His Spirit isn’t seasonal, His glory fills every moment, every breath, every place we stand.

“Who among the gods is like You, Lord? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?” — Exodus 15:11

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” — Psalm 19:1

So lift your eyes higher! Stand in awe of the One whose power is real, whose love is endless, and whose light never fades.

Blessings friends,
Julie ❤

Faith Over Fear – Light Over Darkness

Halloween can sometimes stir feelings of unease or spiritual discomfort, but we don’t need to be afraid. Fear has no hold where God’s Spirit dwells.

God is Spirit, and He is sovereign over all things, seen and unseen. His presence isn’t intimidated by darkness; it transforms it. His light pierces every shadow.

In this season, let’s lift up the name of Jesus and amplify His presence. Let’s declare that His power, love, and the sound mind He’s given us are greater than any other spirit.

When we fix our eyes on Him, peace replaces panic, and faith silences fear.

“The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear?” — Psalm 27:1
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

We don’t need to give darkness our attention or energy, its tricks are empty and its shadows shallow. God’s ways are marvellous and miraculous beyond imitation. His light isn’t seasonal; it shines all year round, full of wonder, beauty, and holy power.

I encourage you today, let’s live in awe of the One whose light never fades.

“On glad days and sad days, God’s near, and He knows, He can use any storm to make good things grow”

The story of Noach is a story of both grief and grace. The world had become flooded not only with water but with corruption and violence. Yet, in the midst of the storm, God remembered Noah, a quiet thread of mercy in the flood of judgment.

This portion invites us to contemplate the kind of rest that comes not from stillness alone, but from obedience, from trusting God enough to build something that seems absurd until the rain begins to fall. Noah’s ark was not merely a vessel of wood; it was a vessel of faith. Every hammer strike was an act of trust in a promise unseen.

Through Isaiah, we hear the echo of that same mercy, the God who swore never again to cover the earth in wrath now calls His people to everlasting compassion. He reminds us that even if the mountains shake and the hills are removed, His unfailing love and covenant of peace will not. In the readings from Matthew and Peter, we are reminded again that just as in the days of Noah, the call remains: to live ready, alert, and anchored in righteousness, not distracted by the noise of the world.

This portion, Noach, literally means rest, yet true rest comes only from refuge in God. Noah found rest not because the storm never came, but because he was covered in God’s covenant within it. And as the ark came to rest upon the mountain, so too the promise of renewal was reborn, the dove, the olive branch, the rainbow all whispering of restoration and hope.

From Genesis to Peter, we see the pattern of divine faithfulness: a God who rescues, renews, and redeems. The ark becomes a picture of salvation, the same saving grace that carries us safely through the floods of life, sealed by the promise of Christ.

Where is God calling you to build in faith, even when the skies are clear? What act of obedience might become an ark of rest for someone else? This portion reminds you that your refuge is not in the absence of storms, but in the assurance that the same God who remembered Noah remembers you, and He is faithful to bring you safely to higher ground.

You don’t have to be perfect to be used by God, you just have to be willing.

He qualifies the called, not through our strength, but through our dependence on Him.

It’s His goodness in us, not our perfection, that equips us for His purpose. 💛

“In the beginning, God created…”

Before there was light or life, there was God, eternal, intentional, and already imagining beauty into being. B’reisheet invites us to pause at the edge of creation and witness a God who brings form to chaos, order to the void, and purpose to what seems without shape.

In the Hebrew rhythm of these words, we don’t just read about beginnings, we are reminded that God is still beginning things today. Every dawn, every heartbeat, every whisper of hope is His breath hovering over the deep once more.
From Genesis to Revelation, this reading arc tells the story of a Creator who not only formed the heavens and the earth but entered His own creation to redeem it. The same Word that spoke light into being became flesh to dwell among us, and one day, all will be made new again.

Isaiah’s vision speaks of God as the One who gives breath to the people on earth and spirit to those who walk in it. He reminds us that we were not made for chaos or fear but for relationship, to walk with the One who formed us. Revelation echoes this hope, closing the circle with a river of life and a restored garden, where His light replaces the sun and His presence fills every shadow.
In a world that often feels formless and dark, B’reisheet calls us back to our true beginning, to remember that we, too, were spoken into being by love. That same voice still speaks, still creates, still redeems.

“In the beginning, God created…” and He’s still creating, light in dark places, peace in anxious hearts, and hope in every new beginning. Wherever you find yourself today, may you remember: your story starts and ends in His hands 💛

Fear creates a cycle of stress, anxiety, and self-protection that keeps the mind on constant alert. But faith interrupts that cycle, replacing it with trust, safety, and hope.

When you choose faith, you’re choosing kindness toward your own mind. You’re declaring that God is greater than what threatens you and you can rest in God’s peace.

Take a deep breath, trust in God’s plan, and let go of the worry. He’s already gone before you. 💖🙏
