Shalom, Mishpacha!
Praise YHVH! The renewed moon has been sighted, marking the beginning of Revi'i 1, 6028 AA. Reports from South Africa confirmed the visible crescent following the astronomical new moon, corresponding with observations reported through the Renewed Moon community.
You can follow ongoing monthly reports at the Renewed Moon website.
May this new month be one of renewed faithfulness, wisdom, and steadfast obedience as we continue walking in the ways of YHVH.
Unity under lawful decisions
"So you shall act according to the word which they declare to you from that place which YHVH chooses. And you shall be careful to do according to all that they instruct you."
— Devarim (Deuteronomy) 17:10
"Now I plead with you, brethren, by the Name of our Master Yahushua Messiah, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
— Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 1:10
YHVH did not establish His people to function through endless disagreement or personal opinion. He provided righteous instruction, appointed leadership, and lawful processes so that His people could walk together in peace and order. Unity is not achieved by everyone thinking independently, but by willingly submitting to righteous judgments that align with His Torah.
When lawful decisions are made according to the standards of YHVH, the community is strengthened through cooperation rather than division. While discernment remains necessary whenever human leaders are involved, the goal is always the preservation of justice, peace, and covenant faithfulness rather than personal preference.
Many conflicts arise because individuals insist on their own understanding instead of seeking the greater unity of the body. Scripture reminds us that humility often means yielding personal desires for the benefit of the whole community when truth and righteousness are being upheld.
Consider whether your responses to leadership and communal decisions promote peace or unnecessary conflict. True unity does not ignore truth, nor does it suppress accountability. Instead, it joins hearts around the righteous standards of YHVH, allowing His people to move forward together with mutual respect, wisdom, and shared purpose.
Abba YHVH, thank You for establishing righteous order among Your people. Teach us to value unity that is founded upon truth and obedience rather than personal opinion. Grant wisdom to those who lead, humility to those who follow, and discernment to all who seek Your will. Help us to strengthen one another through peace, justice, and faithful cooperation, always remaining loyal to Your Torah above every human authority.
Baruch YHVH. Emet.
Shalom until tomorrow.
