“But I am poor and needy; God, hurry for me. You are my helper and rescuer; Adonai, don’t delay!”
Psalm 70:5 CJB

How true this statement is, we are poor and needy and we serve a great King who is rich and giving! We should all be praying for Adonai to come quickly!

“Come quickly to help me, Adonai, my salvation!”
Psalm 38:22 CJB

The crazier the world gets and the more insane people are, the more we need to look to Adonai for everything!

“My help comes from Adonai, the maker of heaven and earth.”
Psalm 121:2 CJB

Today, realize that everything we need is in Adonai!
May your day be richly blessed!

“Don’t let the floodwaters overwhelm me, don’t let the deep swallow me up, don’t let the pit close its mouth over me. Answer me, Adonai, for Your grace is good; in Your great mercy, turn to me.”
Psalm 69:15-16 CJB

We all, at times, can feel like the world is crashing down around us, overwhelmed by the floodwaters of life, asking where are You, Adonai! The good news: He is right there with us!

“Adonai is near those with broken hearts; He saves those whose spirit is crushed.”
Psalm 34:18 CJB

The more the storms of life rage, it is the perfect time to draw closer to God, knowing He is always right beside us!

“Adonai your God is right there with you, as a mighty Savior. He will rejoice over you and be glad, He will be silent in His love, He will shout over you with joy.”

Today, whether in good times or bad times, know that Adonai is always right there with you!
Have a blessed day!

“Our God is a God who saves; from Adonai Adonai comes escape from death.”

So thankful that God saves, we all know who and what we are and how much we need saving! We all can be greedy, covetous and self—centered! But when we repent, God saves!

“Guide me in Your truth, and teach me; for you are the God who saves me, my hope is in you all day long.”

Today, if you have distanced yourself from God, return to Him, knowing He is the only one who can save you!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“May God continue to bless us, so that all the ends of the earth will fear Him.”
Psalm 67:7 CJB

One of the main goals for us as believers is to glorify God, to let the people around us see how good He is! The idea here of blessing us isn’t necessarily with riches, possessions or status! It’s that people may see the goodness of God in us!

“If someone acknowledges that Yeshua is the son of God, God remains united with Him, and he with God.”
1 John 4:15 CJB

A good question to ask ourselves is, do people see God in me? Hopefully, the answer is yes! We also need to ask ourselves what runs our lives? Is it God or stuff?

“It’s easier for a camel to pass through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.”
Mark 10:25 CJB

Understand, we can’t do anything without God and getting to Heaven is impossible without Him! This should motivate us to glorify Him for what He has freely given! Salvation!

“I will thank You, Adonai my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify Your name forever.”

Today, let’s glorify God in everything we do so the world around us can see His greatness!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“For You, God have tested us, refined us as silver is refined.”
Psalm 66:10 CJB

God does allow tests to happen to us, that is one of the ways He refines us! We get to make choices and decisions! Do we make the right ones? Like the children of Israel, they had a choice to make in Numbers 25, to sin or not to sin. They made the wrong choice, but Phinehas did the right thing, which refined the children of Israel!

“Pinchas the son of El`azar, the son of Aharon the Cohen, has deflected My anger from the people of Israel by being as zealous as I am, so that I didn’t destroy them in My own zeal.”
Numbers 25:11 CJB

Here we see that the anger of God is quenched by a right decision! This is one of the ways God refines us by going through the test or trial, but we must always choose Adonai!

“Then Pinchas stood up and executed judgment; so the plague was checked.”
Psalm 106:30 CJB

Today, we all need to be making right decisions in trials and watch how God uses our decisions to help refine us!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
