“And between the upper room at the corner, as far as the Sheep Gate, the goldsmiths and the merchants made repairs.”
Nehemiah 3:32 CJB

We need to use our God given talents to repair and build the kingdom! God designed us all specifically to do His will!

‘LORD, You will establish peace for us, For You have done all our works in us.”
Isaiah 26:12 CJB

Adonai does great things in us, He builds us up and and does great work in us! He also has repaired our broken lives, so we should do everything we can to help repair and build up His people!

“I shall not die, but live, And declare the world of the LORD.”
Psalm 118:17 CJB

Today, as Adonai has done a great work in us, we should look for opportunities to do works for Him!
So let’s have a blessed day looking for opportunities to use the skills God has given us!

“I also told them of the gracious hand of my God that had been on me, also what the king had said to me. They said, Let’s start building at once, and energetically set out to do this good work.”
Nehemiah 2:18 CJB

Two things here. First: we should always be telling people of God’s graciousness! Second: we also need to just step out and just start doing the work of God!

“Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me.”
Psalm 66:16 CJB

As we go through our day we need to be telling anyone who will listen about our God and His salvation for the world!

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
James 1:22 CJB

Today we need to hear from God, tell about God and do what God shows us to do!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“I said, Please, Adonai! God of heaven! You great and fearsome God, who keeps His covenant and extends grace to those who love Him and observe His mitzvot!”
Nehemiah 1:5 CJB

God always keeps His promises, this is why we should simply just do what He says!

“You are to follow Adonai your God, fear Him, obey His mitzvot (commands), listen to what He says, serve Him and cling to Him.”
Deuteronomy 13:5 CJB verse 4 in other translations.

We serve such an amazing and gracious God, why wouldn’t we want to do what He says and cling to Him?

“If you love Me, you will keep My commands.”
John 14:15 CJB

Today, the best thing we can do is look to Adonai and do everything He says, using His word to guide us!
Have a blessed day knowing God will keep all His promises to you!

“Now, therefore, make confession to Adonai, the God of your ancestors; and do what will please Him by separating yourselves from peoples of the land and from the foreign women.”
Ezra 10:11 CJB

Every time Israel got in trouble it was because they mingled with the world and then they were slowly dragged into all kinds of Idol worship! God really desires us to repent and do a one-eighty from the path of sin!

“He sounds a warning in their ears and orders them to repent of their evil.”
Job 36:10 CJB

How does God warn us? Through His word. The more we are in it the more we will realize how He desires us to live! His ways are always going to be best!

“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah 6:8 CJB

Today, let’s totally walk in the way of Adonai and do life His way!
Have a blessed day!

“Therefore, you are not to give your daughter to their sons or take their daughters for your sons; and you are not to promote their peace or prosperity ever. Only in this way will you grow strong, enjoy the good things of the land and leave it as a lasting inheritance to your children.”
Ezra 9:12 CJB

In other words, we aren’t to mingle with the people of the world or non-believers! The problem we have is we get into business with unsaved people and sadly many young people get into marriages with unsaved people! If you want to be strong, stick with your own tribe of believers! We can enjoy things in the world, but be careful of partnering with it!

“Do not yoke yourselves together in a team with unbelievers. For how can righteousness and lawlessness be partners? What fellowship does light have with darkness?”
2 Corinthians 6:14 CJB

We really need to be careful about being part of a political party, a car club or any other thing that distracts us from God! We need to have a group of believers as our partners!

“But if we are walking in the light, as He is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of His Son Yeshua purifies us from all sin.”
1 John 1:7 CJB

Today, realize how important it is for us to be connected to a body of believers, especially as we see the things around us getting even darker!
Have a blessed day!
