My daughter asked me,
“How do we know YHWH is the one true God?”
Test His Torah,
Does it prove right?
When we walk in His ways,
When we live by His teachings,
Do we experience the blessings?
When we do what is evil,
When we indulge our inclinations,
Do we experience the curses?
Can we see a difference between obedience and rebellion?
Test His promises,
Do they hold true?
When we seek His righteousness,
When we trust in His help,

When we rely on our cleverness,
Does our own foolishness ruin our lives?
Can we see a difference between trust and doubt?
Test the people,

When we believe His Messiah,
When our hearts are inscribed,
Do we grow in holy character?
When we emulate the adversary,
When we reject the gospel,
Do we degenerate into wickedness?
Can we see a difference between sheep and goats?
We can benefit from His instructions
We can rely on His promises
We can experience His transformation
And in doing so, we have confidence He is…
