Walking hand in hand with our Beloved God
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2026 7:54 am
While reading the Holy Word in Hebrew, my Beloved (Our Lord Jesus Christ) led me to contemplate the word yadeed (יְדִיד) which means beloved.
The Hebrew word yad (יָד) means "hand".
Thus, the word "beloved" is spelled "yad yad" like "hand hand". It echoes two hands clasping. This rings in my heart as my devekut (clinging, דְּבֵקוּת) to God, His hand holding and guiding my hand.
Deu 10:20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave (dabaq), and swear by his name.
My Beloved Shepherd holds my hand and guides me beside still waters. I put my hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters.
Jewish Rabbis made this connection long ago.
I thank my Beloved for the mercy He has shown me, a sinner. Praise His Name now and forever.
