Praise:
This verse out of Shabbat's Torah reading comes from the heart of Moses:
For I will proclaim the name of YHWH; ascribe greatness to our God, the Rock. His work is perfect, for all His ways are just; a faithful God of and without iniquity, just and upright is He.
(Deut. 32:3-4)We praise You Lord for being our Rock – an unmovable, secure fortress this is the basic idea of God being seen as the "Rock" in the Tanach (2 Sam. 23:3a; Psa. 18:2, 31, 46; 31:2-3; 61:2).
Thank You that if we are overwhelmed, we can ask You lead us to that Exalted Rock (Psa. 61:2).
We bless You that Your work is "perfect," that is complete (Phil. 1:6; Heb. 12:2a; Jude 1:24-25).
Thank You Abba that You maintained Your holy justice when You saved us by giving Your Son for us as the perfect sacrifice for all of our sins (Isa. 53:12; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 John 3:5).
We rejoice that You are, in Your essential nature, a faithful God (Lam. 3:22-23; 1 Cor. 1:9).
