Bakhya Ibn Pakuda

In the beginning of this reading it talks about how a woman became a believer of God. She is blessed by God and devotes herself to Him; "devoting herself entirely to him, loving him, and trusting him completely." Many people are this woman, wanting to know God, believe in the creator and wanting to be blessed by Him. We are all blessed by Him.
Just recently I went to an amazing worship concert and the Hillsong Church from Australia performed. This wasn't your typical concert, this was devoting yourself to God through the power of words and music. Music is a way of connecting to God, the words we sing is from Him and we sing them for Him and for everyone else. It was an amazing night to be there with everyone singing from the heart, worshiping Him. People may think that singing is not the right way and by just going to church and reading from the bible is the right way. But there are so many ways to give yourself to God. We all have our beliefs in God. Anyways, I think what the passage is saying is that when people to find God and believe in Him, they want love and forgiveness from Him. They want to devote to Him in their own way.
I liked this line, "He who trusts in God is able to remove his attention from worldly anxieties and devote it entirely to doing what is right." Believing in God and trusting Him that He will lead you on the right path for you. By helping and giving to others is a good and right for the world. There are people out there who are only surviving one day at a time and they need us and we need them; We are all created by God, we are brothers and sisters.
