Tsade

 


    Tsade is the 18th letter in the Hebrew Alphabet.  It looks like a wonky Y (צ).  Tsade is pronounced "tsah-dee".  It represents the voiceless alveolar affricate t͡s, same as Yiddish.  It means side and works along with the letter for stronghold.  By itself it means righteous one.  The Hebrew Tsade is Phoenician, Aramaic, and Syriac Ṣādēܨ, Ge'ez Ṣädäy ጸ, and Arabic Ṣād.  That evolved into the Greek San (Ϻ) and possibly Sampi (Ϡ), and in Etruscan 𐌑 Ś.
    Life comes with trouble and distress, but God provides throughout it all.  He provides understanding to those that seek it because He is righteous.  Pray and wait for His response.  I know that is asking a lot in an instantaneous world.  Even the most patient are becoming impatient if they have to wait for anything.  Yet, when you hear His still small voice, then it is worth the wait.  
    God is mercy.  Sin has no power over Him.  He is above all of that.  His mercy gives us the opportunity to rise above sin too, but if we fail He still loves us.  He is the source of love.  Loving Him should motivate us to pursue His laws and make His statues a part of our lives.  His judgment is just and trustworthy.  It is not whimsical or altering.   It is true and constant.

Psalms 119: 137-144
