The
Law of Attraction as Taught on Rosh Hashanah
by Gerry Rose, Integrity Networking Solutions, Business Consultant
I was recently reminded of The Secret by Rhonda
Byrne as I was reading the biblical readings from
Rosh Hashanah. Genesis 22:1-24 is the story of
Abraham and his son Isaac. To summarize the
story, Abraham is told by the Lord to take his
only son Isaac “into the land of Moriah” to offer
Isaac as a “burnt-offering.” As Abraham tells
Isaac to wait with the supplies for the
“burnt-offering,” Isaac asks, “…but where is the
lamb for a burnt-offering?” Abraham replies, “God
will provide Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering
my son.” When reading this to completion we find
“And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and
behold behind him a ram caught in the thicket by
his horns.”
Now this was amazing. I have read this scripture
for more years than I care to think about (at
least 40). I have been writing and practicing the
“Law of Attraction” my entire life (we all have.)
What was truly amazing is how I have always gotten
the message of devotion to the Lord from this
story. Why the ”Law of Attraction” now? (I also
know that some of you reading this will say that
Isaac spoke of a lamb and was provided a ram,
therefore my theory is bogus. Close enough, four
legs, young sheep versus male sheep.) Why was it
now that it came to me? I think the answer is
below.
First, for those who are non-believers in the “Law
of Attraction” and are biblical believers, here is
proof that we all attract everything we WANT.
(Give your clients what they WANT so you get what
you WANT. Where have I heard that before?) The
“Law of Attraction” was being taught by deed and
in spiritual teachings from the beginning of time.
Second, there is always something new to learn, no
matter how many times you read or listen to
something you have heard over and over again. Of
course we all see the devotion of Abraham to the
Lord by his actions. Preparing Isaac, collecting
the wood, and preparing the knife for putting
Isaac to death are signs of devotion. All of
these are signs of Abraham’s loyalty to the word
of God. I encourage you to listen again to your
old electronic media for new lessons. Read again
those books that have provided valuable messages
for new messages.
Finally, I am convinced it is the combination of
both faith and the “Law of Attraction.” Faith
lives within the “Law of Attraction” and the “Law
of Attraction” can only be practiced with its
greatest and most pure result when there is strong
faith present.
Some might argue as they look at what others have
manifested by the “Law of Attraction” that there
is no faith in that person’s life, yet look at all
they have. I challenge each and every one of
them. I am assured that when studied, both the
“Law of Attraction” and strong faith works hand in
hand.
I am clear now why I was shown this “new” message
at this time. It has been here for all these
years of reading and I was present to receive the
message this year. Ultimately, I believe that
this year was the year that I was being told to
share this concept of the “Law of Attraction” and
strong faith with you!
Please, share with me your experiences from your
personal observations. I have read the book and
seen the DVD of The Secret. What have you in your
readings, life experiences, and teachings found as
the law of attraction? Please share those life
experiences with me. With your permission I would
like to share your experiences with others so that
they can believe and enjoy the fruits of the “Law
of Attraction” and strong faith.
