Why Study The Torah?

Proverbs 7:4; Exodus 19:9; Deuteronomy 4:10; Isaiah 1:11-15, 48:1-6; Jeremiah 10:10; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Isaiah 40:25; Psalms 4:23; Isaiah 45:2-4; John 6:45; Colossians 2:8-10; Exodus 30:11-14

We are walking in today:  Why Study The Torah?

Witness what you will say when returning to the Torah throughout the Bible-
Isaiah 12
1 And in that day you will say: “O Lord, I will praise You;
Though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid;
‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song;He also has become my salvation.’”
3 Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells of salvation.
4 And in that day you will say: “Praise the Lord, call upon His name;
Declare His deeds among the peoples, Make mention that His name is exalted.
5 Sing to the Lord, For He has done excellent things;
This is known in all the earth. 6 Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion,
For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!


Fiveamprayer we must take the limits off--He is revealing the hidden things in His word!  He is revealing Himself in a new way, everyday!  Seek Him, truly!  It is us that have been lost!  Now is the time to find your way back to His good and perfect way!  In Proverbs, we have the tree of life describing the Torah, in 13:7-8. Certainly we should seek out a life giving tree that is a benefit to all of us.  Those of us that are returning to our Hebraic roots we find that these commands are central to living a life designed by Yahweh.  Fiveamprayer, when our lives are led only in man conceived logic or philosophy places the unfailing word of Yahweh at odds to say the least.  This development in various cultures of great thinkers of their time are often highly heralded and esteemed, supports the humanizing of Elohim and the deifying of man.  
The deeper study of the Torah to find out the layers of details in the instruction that Yahweh gave to His creation and image.  It is this study that can cause a closer relationship and better understanding of all that has been made.  This is where the total and isolated study from a strict scientific stance can push away the intimacy of knowing and relying in Adonai. When we have all things in their proper context we can find what His intentions are yet with other measures of process--scientific or mathematical for example.  We can not merely stand and accept scripture on the surface alone.  We must dig and search, pray and listen for His directions and in our discussions we find how we are to view these commandmemts and allow them to guide our lives.  We are not drawing closer to the King of the Universe, even with all of the technological advances!  There won't be a  closer relationship without understanding.  Can it be that the simple tools a Bible,, paper and pen could allow the brilliance of His truth to shine?  Yeshua's charge was to His talmidim/disciples/students to make more of themselves.  Remember that you are returning to learn all of this to teach to others.  With this correct study we will receive the understanding that He comes to give us, it is no longer a mystery.  With increased study we become precise and accurate for we know where we want to go.  That we are skilled to hit the target of what we intend!  To hear this teaching again click here.
