Divine pronouncements, much like human supplications, encapsulate the creative essence of mystics articulated in the most sophisticated language. Their purpose is not to ensure God's existence, but ours, as we receive a sequence of blessings and curses that uncover our dual capacities for strength and vulnerability. Frequently, we transcend the confines of our immediate experiences, uncovering our more formidable attributes. Our governance is not solely reliant on codified rules, but on a profound comprehension of the divine interrelation between strength and fragility. In contemplating our ideal society, the roles we assume are of secondary importance until we align with the ultimate divine proclamation. Absent this divine proclamation, we miss the unique experience of perfect unity with God's will in our lives. Our enduring experiences are a reflection of God's evaluation of us and our society. It is beyond my reasonable assertion that God imposes absolute limitations on every creature, but it is clear that remaining within these boundaries is advantageous. God transcends the literal text of the Bible, augmenting the inherent creativity in all marvelous things. Every phenomenon or transformation in nature is precisely determined by God through His perfect wisdom and eternal justice. We can draw an analogy between this spiritual struggle and physical combat: in a fight, one who can immobilize their opponent gains a substantial advantage, securing victory. This analogy underscores the significance of judgment and authority, which God possesses in the utmost degree, applicable universally and perpetually. When we deviate furthest from God's absolute standard, we find ourselves in need of His perfect judgment. We cannot simply label individuals as weak or strong; God operates on a plane of absolute ritual and reason, applying His independent judgment to all, irrespective of their strength or weakness. In praising God, our own weaknesses may appear magnified, yet it is not my belief that God deliberately weakens us. Vulnerability can be exploited for malicious purposes, whereas effective protection is essential for our faithful service. This protective strategy might seem counter intuitive to our natural tendencies, yet God employs it to help us confront and manage our own weaknesses. The question then arises: how do we flourish when we embrace our vulnerabilities? God instructs us not only to accept these weaknesses but to utilize them to enhance our strengths. Avoiding negativity is not a prerequisite for gaining strength; rather, we must articulate the word of God and strive to overcome our negative emotions.
