“And you must add your help by praying for us; for the more people there are praying, the more people there will be to give thanks when their prayers for us is answered.”
2 Corinthians 1:11 CJB

The truth is the more we pray for people and for the situations in life, the more we will get to see God answer the prayers we pray. So don’t stop praying!

“With my voice I call out to Adonai, and He answers me from His holy hill.”
Psalm 3:4 CJB

We see David here tense and afraid, but he knew it is God who saves! So what we need to do is pray for all things!

“Pray regularly.”

What Shaul (Paul) is saying here is pray with intelligence not with mindless babbling! And let’s use the best weapon given to us which is PRAYER!
May your day be richly blessed praying!
Shabbat Shalom!

“They have refreshed my spirit, just as they have yours. I want you to show appreciation for people like these.”
1 Corinthians 16:18 CJB

We all have people in our lives that just refresh us! No matter how bad things are going when we see these individuals we just feel encouraged!

“Like cold water to a person faint from thirst is good news from a distant land.”

God desires us to be comforted and to comfort those around us! We all have issues and we all need refreshing! The best place to be refreshed is in the Word of God!

“So, my dear brothers, stand firm and immovable, always doing the LORD’s work as vigorously as you can, knowing that united with the LORD your efforts are not in vain.”
1 Corinthians 15:58 CJB

When we stand firm in Adonai and do life His way we won’t be moved and all our efforts in Him will not be put to shame!

“Then I will not be put to shame, since I will have fixed my sight on all your mitzvot (commands).”
Psalm 119:6 CJB

There is never any shame in following the commands of Adonai! So stand strong in Him! Hear what He says and do what He says!

“Haven’t I ordered you, ‘Be strong, be bold’? So don’t be afraid or downhearted, because Adonai your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 CJB

God encourages us throughout His word to be strong, to be bold and to be vigorous in all our efforts for Him! Understanding we will never be put to shame!
So in this New Year let’s be bold for Adonai!

“For God is not a God of unruliness but of shalom. As in all the congregations of God’s people.”
1 Corinthians 14:33 CJB

Understand God desires us to be orderly and peaceful, not chaotic like the unbelieving world is!

“But let all things be done in a proper and orderly.”
1 Corinthians 14:40 CJB

We serve a God of order not of chaos, so let’s serve Him in a orderly peaceful way!

“Serve Adonai with gladness. Enter His presence with joyful songs.”

God, wants us to be filled with shalom, gladness and joy as we walk in the congregation of God’s people, that’s everywhere we go!
May our day and New Year be truly blessed!

“I may give away everything that I own, I may even hand over my body to be burned; but if I lack love, I gain nothing.”
1 Corinthians 13:3 CJB

One of the biggest weapons we have at our disposal is love! And like prayer, it’s a weapon we use the least!

“More than anything, keep loving each other actively; because love covers many sins.”
1 Peter 4:8 CJB

When we love others, it makes us more willing to forgive and overlook their faults! It also glorifies Adonai when we as His children simply just love!

“Children, let us love not with words and talk, but with action and in reality!”
1 John 3:18 CJB

Like Yeshua, our love needs to be backed with actions! So let’s show love to as many people as we can, not just with words, but also with actions!
Have a blessed New Year with Yeshua!
