“Yet Adonai will strike Egypt, both striking and healing, so they will return to Adonai. He will listen to their prayers, and He will heal them.”
Isaiah 19:22 CJB

Often times God will allow us to stumble in order to teach us that He is all we need! The best thing is that Adonai is always willing to heal us when we repent and return to Him!

“Come, let us return to Adonai; for He has torn, and will heal us; He has struck, and He will bind our wounds.”
Hosea 6:1 CJB

Hurtful, painful and distressful things happen. That’s just part of living in a sinful world! Going through these seasons should help us grow and draw us closer to Adonai!

“Make Your face shine on your servant; in Your grace, save me.”
Psalm 31:16 CJB

Realize as we go through trials and tribulations, instead of being bitter, let’s get better and trust Adonai!
Have a blessed day!

“At that time tribute will be brought to Adonai-Tzva’ot from a nation tall and bronzed, from people feared far and near, from a strong and conquering nation whose land is divided by rivers, to the place where the name of Adonai-Tzva’ot lives, Mount Tziyon.”
Isaiah 18:7 CJB

Here we see that again God is prophesying about a time yet to come! We are not there yet, but one day all nations will come to Mount Zion to worship the King and pay Him tribute!

“All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Adonai; all the clans of the nations will worship in Your presence.”
Psalm 22:27 CJB

Here’s what is exciting for us as believers is that we can worship the King of the universe here and now! Even though the unbelieving world may think we aren’t worthy or acceptable, but the creator of the universe does!

“Come, let’s bow down and worship; let’s kneel before Adonai who made us.”
Psalm 95:6 CJB

Today, life does have ups and downs! We may be in situations that don’t make any sense or we aren’t comfortable with! No matter what we think or see it’s all part of God’s perfect plan!
Have a blessed day living in His perfect plan!
Shabbat Shalom!

“On that day, a person will heed his Maker and turn His eyes toward the Holy One of Israel.”
Isaiah 17:7 CJB

What a glorious day this will be when everyone turns to the Maker of the universe and confesses Him as LORD and Savior!

“In the name of Myself I have sworn, from My mouth has rightly gone out, a word that will not return-that to Me every knee will bow and every tongue will swear.”
Isaiah 45:23 CJB and Romans 14:11 and Philippians 2:10

Understand what God says in His word will always come to pass. We can count on it happening! Knowing this should give us great joy!

“I take joy in Your promises, like someone who finds much booty.”
Psalm 119:162 CJB

When we know the promises of God it should always lead us to have great joy in Him!
May your day be richly filled with His joy!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Send lambs for the rulers of the land from the crags toward the desert to the mountains of the daughter of Tziyon.”
Isaiah 16:1 CJB

Here we see the Moabites being invaded by the Assyrians and they are asking Israel for help! Even though they persecuted Israel, they still knew that the God of Israel was the only one who can help!

“Now I call on You, God, for you will answer me. Turn Your ear to me, hear my words.”
Psalm 17:6 CJB

I find it funny that even the biggest haters and deniers of God look to believers for prayer and comfort when their world falls apart! We just need to be ready when they do!

“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples!”
Psalm 96:3 CJB

Understand, there are many lost and desperate people out there with no hope and no direction! We as believers may be the only hope they see and the only ones that can give them directions to God! So be ready to share the Good News of Salvation!
Have a blessed day!

‘My heart cries out for Mo’av (Moab)! Its fugitives flee Tzo`ar (Zoar), a calf three years old. They ascend the slope of Lucite, weeping as they go; on their way to Horonayim, they utter heartrending cries.”
Isaiah 15:5 CJB

Remember, it was the Moabites who recruited Balaam to curse the Israelites! The Moabites were out to get the Jewish people and now they are fleeing destruction! But here we see the heart of Adonai is to cry out for them! Do we cry out for our enemies?

“Seek good and not evil, so that you will survive. Then Adonai Elohei-Tza’ot (LORD of Hosts) will be with you, as you say He is.”
Amos 5:14 CJB

God is calling us to seek good, not evil and to look for His good in everything! We all need to have compassion on people around us, no matter how much we may disagree with them!

“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

Like Joshua we need to be strong, no matter what we see going on in the world! We also need to have compassion even on our enemies, which can be really hard in the times we are living in!
May your day be blessed!
