the sitter Snippets sitter Snippets series is gener respons by the Saka family and by we are on the 18th of the the of we last left off the expression the are Theos The Rock from which we are y The Rock from which we are carved are ouros and imos they are the Mount Rushmore of Cl Isel and we have theas andos their DNA each and every one of us but ultimately the great not just the but theu is the one who breathe life into us and who gives us life each and every moment of every day and that is theom the almighty himself is the he's the rock and that means theim inside us not only do we have the DNA of ouros that we can lean on rely on they are the rock the solid foundation of our life but the the ultimate solid foundation of our of Our Lives that gives us is the fact that there's a piece of hem inside each and every one of us Hashem is called is called The Rock reliable and dependable but the don't read it what's a an artist is not only the greatest rock that you can lean on rely on depend on but Hashem is the greatest artist go out and see and explore the world live and appreciate nature and you'll see that God is the greatest artist there is certainly ER Isel and nothing compares to it but also the other magnificent magnificent places in the world go see Montana and go see uh and go see Yellowstone and go see the Swiss Alps and go see there is no artist like he's the artist that created our world Our Lives all of us and we continue he is The Rock and he's also the shield what's the difference between a rock and a shield so the says the following these two words come from a is my rock he is my protection he's my shield and he is the Karen of my salvation the already recounts that there's a rock and there's a shield and what's the difference between the two when it comes to a rock God forbid a person's on a ship on a raft on a boat and it capsizes or there's a hole and it's sinking and what do you look for to hold on to you look for a rock you look for something that's sticking out of the water that you could grab now what good is that the rock that you're going to grab what good is that because a rock in the middle of the ocean is set it's fixed it's established it's reliable it's dependable and that's a we are in this world the sea sometimes we feel like we're sinking what is the rock that we can grab onto lean onto rely on who takes care of us moreover even the sea when you can't see what's underneath it but the rock that juts out that sticks out a little bit above it you know where to go what to grab on to where to swim to and if only you hold it if only you come ashore on it if only you grab onto it it's what you need in order to overcome whatever the issue may be what's what's the shield so he says The Shield that protects a warrior in war doesn't sit in one place now the benefit of The Shield is that you carry it it's portable you can transport it you can bring the shield wherever you need to protect you from whatever enemy so the rock is set and the rock is fixed and the rock is reliable The Shield is not as strong but it's transportable and there therefore it goes with you he's the shield of our Salvation because wherever we go and whatever we face and whatever we have to overcome he's the mug again the difference is a rock is when you're in trouble already you could grab onto the rock a mugy and a shield protects you before you ever get in trouble we don't even know thises we know said that the beneficiary of a miracle doesn't even recognize the miracle you don't know you don't know sometimes these videos circulate where the car just missed the person who stepped on the sidewalk and the we don't even know on any given day what we avoided the miracle last week for which we should say at least five buses possibly many more because the timer was misset pm and a.m it was a miracle we happened to know about it because the explosion was seen by many but let's say it wasn't and let's say the shin kept it to themselves how many bombs how many buses we would never know so the people who were set to take that bus the next morning would never even know the miracle that happened that's mug yenu he is The Shield protecting us from things we don't even know are coming to attack we don't even know what the enemy is trying to do that was thwarted that was upended we don't even know in what way he is protecting us whether it's the war in Israel whether it's our own own health whether it's our own safety whether it's our own lives he's the rock the foundation of our life we lean we can grab We Can Depend and he's he's the shield who protects us even from we don't even know we don't even know the Miracles that are happening we can't even recognize articulate or even appreciate but M what we do know so we generically say mod three times a day every day M thank you for shielding me from things I don't even know about andem you are that for every generation now I'll leave off we'll pick up tomorrow night where do you punctuate it's a simple question is it or did you ever even think about that maybe you didn't even know there's another way of saying it most of you right now are saying wait which way do I do it you don't even realize which way you do it during Mar you'll realize but where do you put the K with Lor Vador two possible meanings here in mod
