Happy Preparation Day, sweet friends. I'm getting ready for Shabbat, and preparing the music for our Erev Shabbat service. As you can tell by my weekly posts, I love music. I recently learned that there are seven Hebrews words used for music. Here's one of them:
TODA – תודה (pronounced “tow-dah”)
Toda literally means, an extension of the hand in adoration, avowal, or acceptance. It is used for thanking G-d for things not yet received as well as things already at hand.
Offer thanksgiving as your sacrifice to G-d,
pay your vows to El Yon - The Most High.
pay your vows to El Yon - The Most High.
Psalm50:14
Here are some other verses: Psalm 50:23
Psalms 42:4; Psalm 56:12; Jeremiah 17:26; Jeremiah 33:11
Shabbat is our set-apart day to praise and worship ADONAI. As I look around me, I find so much to be thankful for. How can I not praise and worship Him? I challenge you, Gail-Friends to do the same. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, look around and make a list of all you are blessed with. Your heart will overflow with praise.
I've shared this song before, but am sharing it today because it used the word "toda", and I hope you enjoy it. Toda by Benny Friedman I dare you to watch this video and not get up and dance! Well, maybe you won't, but I guarantee you'll be tapping your toes!
