“His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. ‘We are your slaves,’ they said. But Joseph said to them, ‘Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.'” (Genesis 50:18-20)
If you were to reflect on the past year, I am sure that some may be reminded of hurt feelings. Perhaps some of us are dragging these feelings into the New Year. While it may be easier to ignore those feelings, if not dealt with, these feelings can produce bitterness and anger in us. It is hard to practice gratitude with these feelings in our hearts. Instead of trying to sweep these issues under the rug, we can choose to enter the New Year with the freedom of forgiveness.
In order to truly forgive, we must surrender it all to God. This can be difficult because we typically associate the word surrender with defeat or losing the battle. But when our hurts are surrendered to God, this is when he lifts the weight off our shoulders and handle’s the situation as he sees fit. Our healing begins when we come in total surrender to God. He covers us in His love, mercy, and fills us with His peace. Our human nature may want revenge on those who have hurt us, but when we surrender to God, we can trust that he will take care of it. Romans 12:19 says, “Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God… ‘I will take revenge; I will pay them back’, says the Lord.”
The story of Joseph is a perfect example of this. When he saw his brothers before him that day, I am sure that all those feelings of hurt came back for all they had done to him. He had suffered greatly because of their jealousy. But he acknowledged God’s control over everything and realized how God had used the hurt to accomplish His plans for Joseph. In the same way, God can take our pain and use it for good when we surrender it all to Him.
Friends don’t take offenses and hurts from last year into the New Year. If we want to have peace, we need to surrender our hurt feelings over to God. We need to relinquish control. If there is someone you need to forgive, take it to God in prayer right now, leave it in His hands, choose to forgive, and trust Him with the results. Forgiveness is not about the other person, but about us and the freedom we can enjoy in Christ.
Suggested prayer: Lord, I surrender my feelings and those who have hurt me to You. Please heal my heart and help me forgive where necessary. I trust You and know that You have complete control over my life and all that happens in it. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The revelation of the Torah at Sinai – a two part revelation.
Process (how Sinai unfolded) – Two-stage revelation: God spoke the first two “dibrot” aloud; after that Israel asked Moses to receive the rest and transmit it (Exodus narrative as read by rabbinic tradition). Oral transmission of the 13 tohor רוח הקודש spirit interpretation of the first commandment שם השם as the בטול idea of תורה לא בשמים היא revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Legal common law middot such as introduced by Hillel and other Tannaim serves as the יסוד by which the generations interpret the k’vanna of the revelation of the 13 Tohor Oral Torah middot at Horev.
The Torah does not invalidate the existence of other Gods; not the Gods of Egypt, Canaan, nor the Gods in later NaCH prophetic mussar. NaCH prophets do mock Gods limited to wood & stone. The Book of satire Kings mocks king Shlomo “as the wisest of all men” for his ignoring the mussar of the prophet Natan who commanded king David not to copy architectural constructs of how Goyim worship their Gods through Cathedral-like constructions. Rather the model of the Mishkan understood by the precedent of Moshe Rabbeinu’s last mitzva before he passed from this Earth – the Small Sanhedrin Capital Crimes Courts which define all the cities of refuge.
The 2nd stage of the revelation of the Torah at Sinai followed the sin of the Golden Calf – substitute theology which declared that אלהים (who occupies both the Heavens and the Earth) brought Israel out of Egypt. This substitute theology denies the בטול revelation of the שם השם לשמה – לא בשמים היא revelation that the רוח הקודש Oral Torah spirits live within the Yatzir Ha’Tov hearts of the chosen Cohen people when and only when we rule the oath brit land inheritance. The Torah revelation consists of two parts: Blessing/Life vs. Curse\Death-G’lut. Based upon the language of the 1st Sinai commandment “Egypt” לאו דוקא; all Goyim lands of g’lut – Jews live – just as no Sanhedrin or Yovel freedom for them so too no other Torah commandments apply other than to do t’shuva and remember – Israel came out of Egypt to conquer and rule Canaan with Sanhedrin courtroom common law justice.
No where, for example, does the Torah address the God worshipped in India and Asian countries. The brit of Gilgal/order of Rashi tefillen contrasts with the brit of Sh’Cem\order of Rabbeinu Tam tefillen. The oath sworn at Gilgal: just as HaShem judged the Gods of Egypt, so too HaShem will judge the Gods of Canaan. Just as Moshe a prophet so too Yehoshua a Torah prophet. Monotheism as a theology violates the 2nd Sinai commandment because if the Islamic Tawhid accurate then the 2nd commandment in vain. But the chicken always precedes the egg; Muhammad did not accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai, his replacement theology substitutes Allah like as did the Golden Calf did with אלהים and the NT does with some “Father” in Heaven.
Monotheism, especially as framed by the נדוי Rambam assimilates to the foreign idea of ONE UNIVERSAL GOD. This false avoda zara assimilation validates Jews davening inside Mosques! It declares the Aggada of mesechta Sanhedrin touching the 7 mitzvot applicable to gere toshav to all “bnai noach Goyim in all lands! Mesechta Avoda Zara and in many other places throughout Sha’s teach that only Israel accepts the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Therefore the שם השם לשמה by definition בטול, limited and restricted to the status of a local tribal god and not the foreign align Universal ONE God theology of alien foreign religious belief systems.
In like manner the mitzva of Moshiach not limited to some God/Man in the past as Xtian avoda zara attempts to dictate. Rather Torah common law stands upon the יסוד which requires בניני אבות-precedents. The NT worship of avoda zarah – other Gods – rejects the revelation of Oral Torah common law. It rejects Moshe anointing the House of Aaron as Moshiach despite the Talmud reference to Pinchas as משיח מלחמה or the NaCH reference to king Cyrus as משיח.
Goyim, by definition reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai\Horev, therefore Goyim worship other Gods. Impossible for Goyim who reject the revelation of the Torah to thereafter dictate Torah mitzvot such as does the NT attempt with its false messiah paradigm and as does the Koran with its false definition of prophets sent to all Goyim paradigm. King Shlomo no different than his son at Sh’Cem. Just as Shlomo began his avoda zara “Civil War” curse imposed by the Natan curse following the David Bat Sheva injustice shown to her husband; Aaron dedicated by Moshe as Moshiach to sanctify through korbanot the dedication to rule the land of Canaan with judicial Sanhedrin common law justice. So too Rechavam ignored the elder advisors of king Shlomo just as young king Shlomo initiated building a Temple Cathedral avoda zara rather than establish the Federal Sanhedrin courts as the case of the two prostitutes proves.
