On Omer Count – Day 42 of a Christian counting the omer; we will examine malchut of yesod. This explores the transitions achieved through the sovereignty and leadership of our bonding.
As we continue bonding (both physically with humans and spiritually with God) we should feel more sovereignty. This would be a type of sovereignty that comes from owning our own responsibilities. When we do this our purposes and destiny increase in value.
This increasing sovereignty from which we learn to lead others, should bring them dignity. Dignity always recognizes the value and nature of why and how God created mankind.
DIGNITY FROM GIVING OF YOURSELF
To bring hope and dignity to others with whom you wish to bond; you must give away a part of yourself to each and everyone you meet.
This could be a smile, a pat on the back, a gesture of kindness or a helping-hand. Each action shows that you value the dignity of that person. It serves as proof that you understand they are important to the world.
QUESTIONS FOR OMER COUNT – DAY 42
When we begin to examine our bonding with the dignity from a position of sovereign leadership we need to consider several things:
- Are my actions toward others nurturing?
- Do the things I do daily bring strength to others?
- Does my bonding honor God and His purpose for me and others?
- Is true dignity portrayed in the way I present myself to others?
- Am I making sure that my own personality is not inhibited as I lead others?
- Can I know that my own personality does not overwhelm the personalities of those which I lead?
- Is the dignity of others maintained with my leadership?
- Can I follow the leadership of others with the same dignity that I lead others?
- Is my leadership overwhelming to those that I have bonded with? If so; why is this?
- Is the unity of the group I am leading based on love and dignity and making a better life for all?
UNITY IN BONDING
An interesting thing to consider in our bonding is the essence of the unity that is formed with our bonding. Holy unity is a very good thing. Unholy unity is destructive. It often leads to hate.
The people who built the Tower of Babel had unity in the beginning. They shared love for one another and love for their community. In the beginning they desired to grow closer to God. https://dancinginseason.blogspot.com/2016/04/story-samples-every-tongue-tribe-and.html.
As time progressed they became prideful, arrogant and power hungry. They forgot all about seeking God. Soon the people even began to worship themselves. The original unity they shared was eventually replaced by a unity toward disharmony and wickedness.
When the tower fell, the people were scattered to all ends of the earth. It was because they could no longer bond in language. They learned hate.
Hate is the opposite of all love, dignity and grace.
GROUPS THAT HATE ARE UNHOLY
Some believe that hate caused the final destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Other sins led up to that time too; but when the people living there became completely filled with hate for others and worshiped themselves and their own ways. God destroyed the city.
This bonding of hate was very bad.
There are good types of unity and unholy types of unity. We must ask ourselves if we display love with dignity, or are we showing hate in all of our bonding.
In the process of all of our bonding, we must examine all of our unity. It is important to be sure that we are united for the right reasons.
