“P’tachyah the son of Mesheizav’el, from the descendants of Zerach the son of Y’hudah, was the king’s deputy in all affairs concerning the people.”
Nehemiah 11:24 CJB

Just like these servants of the king, we servants of the King of kings, Yeshua, need to be concerned with all the affairs of the people around us! Not judging, but leading by example and praying!

“When Iyov (Job) prayed for his friends, Adonai restored his fortunes; Adonai gave Iyov twice as much as he had before.”
Job 24:10 CJB

We need to be lifting other people up in prayer, not to get things, but because we should care and be concerned for others! When we are praying for other people, taking our eyes off of ourselves, God always has a way of blessing us more!

“Bless those who persecute you-bless them, don’t curse them.”
Romans 12:14 CJB

Today, let’s be a people who are ready to pray and bless others, remembering it’s far too easy to be negative and cursing!
Have a blessed day lifting others up!

“We will not give our daughters as wives to the peoples of the land or take their daughters as wives for our sons.”
Nehemiah 10:31 CJB

We also need to be careful of how we mingle with the world! Yes, we must go to work, go to school and buy groceries in places of the world. But be mindful of who and what you get involved! We must always be an ambassador for Adonai!

“Therefore we are ambassadors of the Messiah; in effect, God is making His appeal through us. What we do is appeal on behalf of the Messiah, Be reconciled to God!”
2 Chronicles 5:20 CJB

Realize we all have a job to share the good news of Yeshua in the world. That doesn’t mean we have to partner with the world!

“A truthful witness saves lives, but a liar misdirects.”
Proverbs 14:25 CJB

Today, don’t partner with the world, but instead let’s be a witness for Yeshua to the world!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Those descended from Israel separated themselves from all foreigners; then they stood up and confessed their own sins and the iniquities of their ancestors.”
Nehemiah 9:2 CJB

We need to do the same, separate ourselves from the world, confess our sins and realize we live in a fallen world! In other words, repent and turn from wickedness!

“When I acknowledge my sin to you, when I stopped concealing my guilt, and said, I will confess my offenses to Adonai; then you, you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Selah)
Psalm 32:5 CJB

We all want to see revival happen, but understand for revival to happen we need to have repentance!

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

Today, we need to be praying for people around us to repent! We also need to be sharing the greatness of Adonai! Realize god is warning. We just need to listen!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

“Moshe wrote down all the words of Adonai. He rose early in the morning, built an altar at the base of the mountain and set upright twelve large stones to represent the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Exodus 24:4 CJB

Are we waking up early and getting into the word of God? We all can make excuses on how we don’t have time to get into the word with God! But, what we need to do is get up early and make the time to read and hear His word!

“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

We always need to be seeking God early in the morning and early in every situation! It’s His voice we need to hear first in every situation!

“But He said, Far more blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”
Luke 11:28 CJB

Today, let’s be a people who seek God early and hear and obey His word!
May your day be richly blessed!
Shabbat Shalom!

“In this way the L’vi’im (Levites) quieted the people, as they said, Be quiet, for today is holy; don’t be sad.”
Nehemiah 8:11 CJB

As God calls us His royal priesthood, 1 Peter 2:9, it is our duty to quiet the people around us. We need to be the ones to be calm and treat everyday as holy (not ordinary)!

“Therefore consecrate yourselves-you people must be holy, because I am Adonai your God.”
Leviticus 20:7 CJB

We serve a holy God, and we are called His special holy people! So we should not be like the unholy world, which is being ordinary and not special! We should step up and step out as God’s special and holy people and be the calming spirit that the world needs!

“You are a light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”
Matthew 5:14 CJB

We all need to remember we really are the only light that the world around us might see, so let’s shine!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 CJB

Today, let’s reflect the calming light of Yeshua!
Have a blessed day shining for Him!
Shabbat Shalom!
