“Y’hoshua captured all these kings and their land all at the same time, because Adonai the God of Israel fought on Israel’s behalf.”
Joshua 10:42 CJB

We have the same assurances as Israel, Adonai fights on our behalf, this should greatly comfort us!

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

Life can stress us out from time to time and we can feel overwhelmed! We just need to remember God fights on our behalf, so we should let things go and watch what He will do!

“Desist, and learn that I am God, supreme over the nations, supreme over the earth.”
Psalm 46:10 CJB

Today, what a great reminder to let things go and just watch what Adonai is going to do, He has all things covered!
Have a blessed day watching and learning from Adonai!

“The man sampled some of their food but didn’t seek the advice of Adonai, so Y’hoshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them to spare their lives, and the leading officials of the community swore to them. But three days later, after they made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbors, that they lived there with them.”
Joshua 9:14-16 CJB

Two things to see here, one; don’t lie and two; before you make a deal, ask Adonai and do some research!

“But if you will not do this, then you have sinned against Adonai, and you must understand that your sin will find you out.”
Numbers 32:23 CJB

When we sin it will always come back to bite us in one way or the other! So we all need to do our best at being upright!

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

Today, know that we can’t pull the wool over God’s eyes nor can we make any good decisions without calling upon Him for advice and direction!
So have a blessed looking to Adonai!

“He wrote there on the stones a copy of the Torah of Moshe, inscribing it in the presence of the people of Israel.”
Joshua 8:32 CJB

We should always have on us a copy of God’s instructions, in order to walk in His ways and to know His will!

“I treasure Your word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against You.”
Psalm 119:11 CJB

We need the word of God to guide us and direct us through our day, I don’t know how anyone can live without it!

“Your word is a lamp for my foot and light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105 CJB

Today, realize we are super blessed to have access to the word of God to guide us and instruct us through out the day!
Have a blessed day getting into the word of God and doing it!

“Israel has sinned. Yes, they have violated My covenant, which I commanded them. They have taken some of what was to have been set aside for destruction. They have stolen it, lied about it and put it with their own things.”
Joshua 7:11 CJB

We see this today. When a nation sins, there are going to be consequences! Here we see not all of Israel sinned, but only some! Unfortunately, everyone was punished or felt the repercussions!

“Then, if My people, who bear My name, will humble themselves, pray, seek My face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 CJB

Not just our nation, but many nations in the world today, are full of self centeredness, ungodliness and evil. Just like Aiken and his family they just want, take and then deny God! I believe that many of the issues we see in the world around us are due to the blatant sin against God!

“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.”
Psalm 32:5 CJB

Today, if we want to see healing happen, realize confession and repentance starts with us! We all can see the world around us needs Yeshua! So let’s confess, repent and pray for salvation!
Have a blessed day knowing what God has is better than anything we may think we want!

“Manoach said to his wife, We will surely die, because we have seen God!”
Judges 13:22 CJB

We can feel like this at times because we’ve seen or done something wrong, we think God will take us out or stop loving us!

“But his wife said to him, If Adonai had wanted to kill us, he wouldn’t have accepted a burnt offering from us, and He wouldn’t have shown us all this or told us such things at this time.”
Judges 13:23 CJB

Here is the reality, God is way more gracious than we can ever imagine. Yes, He could take us out at any time! But He desires us to grow and learn more about Him everyday! All He wants is us surrendering to Him!

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

Today, remember even if we feel like God has left us, hates us or even wants to destroy us, remember none of that is true! God is madly in love with you, rejoice in His salvation!
May you be encouraged in Adonai today!
Shabbat Shalom!
