“I will make your cities ruins and make you an utter waste, and you will know that I am Adonai.”
Ezekiel 35:4 CJB

The places where the Edomites lived are to this day utterly destroyed, in fact in this area of Jordan it is very desolate! The problem we have today is we are dealing with descendants of Edomites who attack Israel daily! What do we do? We trust in God, knowing He will bring them to complete ruin!

“But I trust in your grace, my heart rejoices as you bring me to safety.”
Psalm 13:5 CJB

We need to trust that God is doing amazing things, so let’s not look at evil, but trust and pray!

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we praise the name of Adonai our God.”
Psalm 20:7 CJB

What do you trust? Is it man’s technology and weaponry? Who do you trust? We need to trust in Adonai, who can and does give us perfect peace!
Have a blessed day looking to Adonai!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of Adonai: As I live, Adonai Elohim swears, because My sheep have become prey, My sheep have become food for every wild animal, since there was no shepherd, since My shepherds didn’t look for My sheep, and instead My shepherds fed themselves but not My sheep.”
Ezekiel 34:7-8 CJB

This isn’t only talking about false shepherds, but shepherds who care more for themselves than their flocks! God is going to deal harshly with those who take, especially the ones who are truly called to feed His sheep, but fleece them instead!

“Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of Adonai! Adonai Elohim says, I am against the shepherds. I demand that they hand my sheep back to Me. I will not allow them to feed the sheep, and they won’t feed themselves either. I will rescue My sheep from their mouths; they will be food for them no longer.”
Ezekiel 34:9-10 CJB

Shepherds who are called to shepherd God’s people (His sheep), should know the difference between fleecing and feeding! The sad thing is there are so many so–called shepherds out their who are fleecing! We all need to be on guard to know the difference!

“Look out for each other’s interests and not just your own.”
Philippians 2:4 CJB

We really need to be more concerned with other people than our own personal interests! Salvation should be our priorities and seeing people repent!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Likewise you, human being–I have appointed you as watchman for the house of Israel. Therefore, when you hear the word from My mouth, warn them for Me.”
Ezekiel 33:7 CJB

The same goes for us, we need to be watchmen, warning the people about the soon coming of Adonai!

“Stay alert! Be on guard! For you do not know when the time will come.”
Mark 13:33 CJB

Only Adonai knows the day and hour, so we need to stay alert and be awake! We can get caught up in just watching the world and its events go by. We really need to be watching, praying and warning the people to repent!

“Say to them, ‘As I live,’swears Adonai Elohim, ‘I take no pleasure in having the wicked person die, but in having the wicked person turn from his way and live. So repent! Turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, house of Israel?'”
Ezekiel 33:11 CJB

Today, let’s be alert, be in prayer and warn people of Yeshua’s soon return, telling people to repent!
Have a blessed day!

“When I make the land of Egypt a ruined waste, a land stripped of all that filled it: when I strike all those who live there; they will know that I am Adonai.”
Ezekiel 32:15 CJB

We all need to understand that God created us from the dust and our physical bodies will return to the dust and He can make us dust at anytime! Our spirit goes up before Adonai, but our flesh is nothing more than dust!

“The dust returns to earth, as it was, and the spirit returns to God, who gave it!”
Ecclesiastes 12:7 CJB

The problem with man is we get caught up in self, then we turn dust into mud! Everything man tries to accomplish without God only becomes a mud pile! So be thankful for God’s grace!

“For He understands how we are made, He remembers that we are dust.”
Psalm 103:14 CJB

As we go through our day, let’s make sure that we are calling on Adonai to check that all the things we do are upright and for Him!
Have a blessed day glorifying Adonai!

“Therefore here is what Adonai Elohim says: ‘Because you are so tall, because he has lifted his crown above leafy boughs, because he has grown so arrogant about his height.”
Ezekiel 31:10 CJB

Adonai recognizes that Egypt is a great and powerful nation which He allowed them to be! But unfortunately they didn’t realize that it is God who gives them this power and it doesn’t come from their own strength! We need to be reminded of this often, that it is the strength of Adonai that gets us through!

“No, you are to remember Adonai your God, because it is He who is giving you the power to get wealth, in order to confirm His covenant, which He swore to your ancestors, as is happening today.”
Deuteronomy 8:18 CJB

We should never forget that everything that is good and perfect is from Adonai! We are strong because of His strength and power!

“Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father who made the heavenly lights; with Him is neither variation nor darkness caused by turning.”
James 1:17 CJB

Know that God gives and He can always take away!

“Naked I came from my mothers womb, and naked I will return there. Adonai gave; Adonai took; blessed be the name of Adonai.”
Job 1:21 CJB

Today, give thanks to Adonai for everything, knowing God is working all things out!
Have a blessed day!
