Devotional: 9th of Cheshvan
Surely your God is a God of gods and Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries (Daniel 2:47 NASB).
Yoisher is the Yiddish word for "justice." It is something which every Jew longs for. Some long for it in the coming of Messiah and some in the evolution of mankind. Yoisher is essentially the righting of what was wrong.
The injustices that wound our nafshim (souls) are often very difficult to deal with. The wounds of life often exile us from other people, and even from God himself. Yeshua will indeed return to set things aright, but what of today's toil? Perhaps our wounds need to encounter the "God of gods and Lord of kings" who is a "revealer of mysteries."He will reveal the root of the wound, help us to understand it, and even heal our wound.
Scriptures show us how God took Daniel in the exile, and revealed to him the love of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In the process, those around him were also blessed by God's revelation.
...not be brought into exile from God because of my woundedness, but I will allow God to heal me.
