As we prepare to enter into Shabbat, what are you focusing on? Are you guarding your heart? Are you preparing your heart to spend time with YHWH? Or are you distracted by being in a hurry and stressing over preparations? We often get caught up in the mechanics of Erev Shabbat that we become numb to our activities and actions and forget what it's all about. We must remember to walk in the fruits of the spirit, always. I've heard Rabbi Steve say that if we are worried or stressed, it means that we are not fully trusting in Him. In our constant struggle to gain full emunah, it's always a good practice to be aware of our thoughts, actions and keep ourselves in check. Remember Deuteronomy 6:5 - “And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might". Remember to Guard yourself and your heart in order to ensure we represent our Creator and King properly and not bring shame to His name!
