The Feather and the River; Finding Balance in Yahusha

🌿 WBJMinistries Sermon

Balance in the Storm; Ma’at and the Promise of Yahusha

🙏🏼📿🛐🤲🏼🙌🏼

Elohim of Truth and Harmony, we lift our hearts to You. As rivers flow and winds shift, teach us to see Your balance in the world, just as the ancient laws of Ma’at taught harmony and Yahusha’s words give life. Let every shadow remind us that light is near, and every weight on our heart be lifted by Your love. Halleluyah.

The Story Through Symbols

Imagine a river flowing through a desert; dry sands on either side, yet the water brings life to everything it touches. On the banks grow lotus flowers, opening at dawn and closing at dusk, cycles of renewal. The river is life’s journey.

The lotus is faith, blooming even in muddy waters. The desert sands are hardships, temporary yet shaping the way water flows.

Above the river, a feather floats on the wind. This is Ma’at — balance, justice, and truth. When the feather drifts, storms may rise, but when it settles, peace returns.

Women of the Word (Through Symbolism) The lotus in the desert whispers of Esther, whose courage brought deliverance “for such a time as this.” The river’s constant flow mirrors Mary Magdalene’s transformation, a current of renewal and love. The dawn light on the horizon recalls Miryam (Mary), mother of Yahusha, who carried hope like the sun rising after night.

These women are not named in the story, yet their symbols — lotus, river, dawn — carry their voices into eternity.

Kemetic Laws of Ma’at and Yahusha’s Fulfillment. The 42 Laws of Ma’at taught harmony; "I have not lied, I have not stolen, I have not caused pain.”

These laws echo Yahusha’s teaching; to love Elohim with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself. Where Ma’at placed the heart on scales against a feather, Yahusha places His own life as the balance for ours ~ ensuring that mercy and justice meet.

Anthropology, Geography & Philosophy

In the Nile valley, Ma’at’s feather symbolized order in creation. In Mohegan lands, rivers meant sacred connection to all life. In philosophy, Aristotle taught balance, the “golden mean” between extremes. In social science, balance in communities is the key to justice and peace. Every culture knows; life is sustained where balance is honored.

🗣️Message ~ Beloved, life is like the river under storm and sun; sometimes raging, sometimes calm, but always moving. The feather of Ma’at reminds us to walk in balance. The lotus flower reminds us to rise through the mud. The dawn reminds us that Yahusha’s promises are certain. Even when the world feels heavy, remember: your heart is not weighed down alone, Yahusha carries you into the light of a new day.

🙏🏼📿🛐🤲🏼🙌🏼

Elohim of Balance and Renewal, help us live by truth and harmony. As the feather drifts, steady our steps. As the river flows, renew our faith. As the lotus blooms, open our hearts to Yahusha’s love. We trust You to bring joy after sorrow. Halleluyah.
