Don’t focus on others!

“Look how the wicked is pregnant with evil; he conceives trouble, gives birth to lies.”
Psalm 7:14 CJB

We all can look around us and see people seemingly have perfect lives. Living lives that seem privileged, perfect and without problems! We may be jealous and wonder how! The reality is the world can look attractive, but it really is full of evil! It is sadder when we see people who claim to be believers living this way! Don’t be jealous, just live for Adonai. He will deal with the wicked!

“Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows.”
Galatians 6:7 CJB

God knows all and sees all, so no one is getting away with anything! If you are doing crooked things it will catch up with you!

“Examine me, Adonai, test me, search my mind and heart.”
Psalm 26:2 CJB

Today, don’t focus on other people and what they do or don’t do, but instead check yourself and ask Adonai to examine you!
Have a blessed day in Him!

Look inside!

“Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your anger, don’t discipline me in the heat of your fury.”
Psalm 6:1 CJB

God is not pleased with the wicked world we see around us, He sees even more than we do! We also need to realize He also sees and hears everything we do and say!

“Be gracious to me, Adonai, because I am withering away; heal me, Adonai, because my bones are shaking.”
Psalm 6:2 CJB

Often times we can focus on other sinners and try to justify or ignore our own sin. Do we point out other people’s wickedness to cover our own? We really need to take a good hard look at ourselves and repent! The cool thing is God hears and forgives!

“He has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.”
Psalm 103:12 CJB

Today, know that God sees our faults just as He can see the faults of the world! We just need to acknowledge them and He is faithful and just to forgive!
May your day be filled with His blessings!

Wait on Adonai

“Adonai, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I lay my needs before You and wait expectantly.”
Psalm 5:3 CJB

One of the most amazing things we get to do is wake up and lay out our daily needs, not wants, but needs unto Adonai! The cooler thing is He will answers us!

“When you seek Me, you will find Me, provided you seek Me wholeheartedly.”
Jeremiah 29:13 CJB

In Psalm 4:4 we saw that we can be angry, but don’t dwell on it before you sleep. In fact, calm down and let it go! Now we see when we wake we need to seek Adonai with total expectancy for Him to answer!

“Since You are my rock and fortress, lead me and guide me for Your name’s sake.”
Psalm 31:3 CJB

Today, seek God early, wait expectantly for an answer and walk in the confidence that Adonai will answer you! Also don’t let the junk of the day before hinder the new day in Adonai!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

Don’t let anger control you!

“You can be angry, but don’t sin! Think about this as you lie in bed, and calm down.”
Psalm 4:4 CJB

This is quoted by the apostle Paul in Ephesians 4:26! The idea here is, it is ok to be angry, but don’t let it consume you! Don’t play out scenarios in your head on how to deal with the thing or person you are angry with! Just calm down and let it go, before it turns to sin!

“But I tell you that anyone who nurses anger against his brother will be subject to judgment; that whoever calls his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing!’ will be brought before the Sanhedrin; that whoever says, ‘Fool!’ incurs the penalty of burning in the fire of Gei-Hinnom!”
Matthew 5:22 CJB

Even Yeshua warns us of how anger can turn into murder within our hearts, which is sin! We all need to watch out for anger and jealousy that festers in our hearts! We all need to let things go. The world is seriously stressed out. We don’t need to add to it!

“I will lie down and sleep in peace; for, Adonai, you alone make me live securely.”
Psalm 4:8 CJB

We all need to really seek Adonai in every situation, for it is He who will give us peace! Today, don’t fester on situations and scenarios that keep you up at night, but instead focus on Adonai!
Have a blessed day in Him!

God is our refuge

“But You, Adonai, are a shield for me; You are my glory, you lift my head high.”
Psalm 3:3 CJB

We all have a great many things that come against us! Maybe jobs, health and finances! Remember, it is God who saves and protects, not any man!

“Adonai is my Rock, my fortress and deliverer, my God, my Rock, in whom I find shelter, my shield, the power that saves me, my stronghold.”
Psalm 18:3 CJB

It is in Adonai we will find our peace and protection. It will never be in the world or its institutions! Sadly, often times when trouble hits we run to the institutions of the world first!

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
Psalm 46:1 CJB

Today, know that we will have trials and tribulations in this life, but in Adonai we will always find help and protection!
Have a blessed day being covered by Adonai!
