Shin


     Shin is the 21st letter of the Hebrew Alphabet.  It is a pre-fix letter to explain relationships like that, which, and who.  It represent peace and perfection like in shalom.  In ancient Hebrew is meant teeth, sharp, press like chewing.  It is shin in Phoenician, Aramaic, Arabic, and Syriac.  It evolved into the Greek Sigma (Σ) which in turn gave Latin S and Cyrillic C.  
    People with power sometimes think themselves untouchable and abuse the power that they have been given.  This hurts the people that they are responsible for and without any real reason other than they are selfish.  That is why we turn to God for real leadership.  He is the source of real power.  He is fair and just.  He does not abuse His power.
    Lies, rumors, and hypocrisy are some of the most damaging tools that comes from the mouth.  However, God can turn that evil into something good.  He can give you peace in the midst of the evil happening around or to you.  He can keep you from falling apart no matter the source of the chaos.  
    God gives the gift of salvation.  You just have to believe and choose to follow Him.  He will teach you how to live out love.  He will teach you how to love.  He will teach you to be fair and just.  Through all the teaching you learn how being obedient is not that hard because His ways are better than ours.  Following instruction requires trust, but leads to an abundant life in God's presence.  

Psalm 119: 161-168
