“Avram moved his tent and came to live by the oaks of Mamre, which in Hevron. There he built an altar to Adonai.”
Genesis 13:18 CJB

When Avram saw all the LORD has given him, he built an altar to worship Him!

“Yes, I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift up my hands.”
Psalm 63:4 CJB

No matter what is going on in life, whether we are doing good or we are in desperate need, we need to bless the LORD!

“Bless Adonai, all His works, in every place where He rules! Bless Adonai, my soul!”
Psalm 103:22 CJB

Today, no matter what may be going on, in every situation we should bless the LORD! Remember the LORD is everywhere and is working out everything!
Have a amazing day sharing the goodness of the LORD!

“But there was a famine in the land, so Avram went down into Egypt to stay there, because the famine in the land was severe.”
Genesis 12:10 CJB

Two things here: first God never told Avram (Abraham) to leave the promised land and go down to Egypt (the world)! And second, just because we have conflict or life is uncomfortable doesn’t give us reason to leave! Too often believers look for easy ways out or just follow everyone else. Be careful of worldly thinking! Don’t follow the world, follow the LORD!

“I have said these things to you so that, united with me, you may have shalom. In the world, you have tsuris (tribulation). But be brave! I have conquered the world!”
John 16:33 CJB

Often times we get so caught up in our problem or trials instead of waiting on the LORD. We end up getting in the way trying to help God out! Big mistake, remember Avram ended up saying Sarah was his sister!

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

Today, realize God knows what’s going on around you and what we need to do is desist, drop it and let God take over! He has a plan and a way to deal with everything!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Adonai said, Look, the people are united, they all have a single language, and see what they’re starting to do! At this rate, nothing they set out to accomplish will be impossible for them!”
Genesis 11:6 CJB

Even though many of the world’s governments want a one world order, understand it’s just not happening yet! Why? Because, Adonai won’t allow it, it’s not part of His plan yet! But know it’s coming!

“Come, let’s go down and confuse their language, so they won’t understand each other’s speech.”
Genesis 11:7 CJB

We see this all around us today. Religion is divided, politics is divided, nations are divided and the world is confused! God is the only thing that makes sense!

“Let all the earth fear Adonai! Let all living in the world stand in awe of Him.”
Psalm 33:8 CJB

Today, our only hope is the LORD. There is nothing but the LORD that can give us hope! Not governments, jobs or religions. The only hope we have is in Yeshua!
Have a blessed day putting all your hope in Him!

“He was a mighty hunter before Adonai-this is why people say, Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Adonai.”
Genesis 10:9 CJB

The idea here isn’t a hunter for food, but a hunter of souls! This is what our Adversary does on a daily basis, he’s looking for souls to steal and lives to ruin!

“Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
1 Peter 5:8 CJB

As much as the enemy is out there trying to destroy life, our LORD is out there giving life to all who call upon Him!

“I call on Adonai, who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies.”
Psalm 18:4 CJB

Today, let’s spend more time calling on the LORD and less time worrying about what our Adversary is trying to do! If our focus is on the LORD, then the enemy has no room!
Have a blessed day in the LORD!

“I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, I will give all these lands to your descendants, and by your descendants all the nations of the earth will bless themselves. All this is because Avraham heeded what I said and did what I told him to do-he followed My mitzvot (commands), My regulations and My teachings.”
Genesis 26:4-5 CJB

Here we see even though Avraham (Abraham) wasn’t perfect, he still followed and listened to the LORD and his descendants were blessed and multiplied!

“You are to follow Adonai your God, fear Him, obey His mitzvot, listen to what He says, serve Him and cling to Him.”
Deuteronomy 13:5 CJB also 13:4NKJV

We need to be walking as close as we can with the LORD! Anytime we drift away is when we fall! The good news is He always has His hand upon us!

“May Adonai our God be with us, as He was with our ancestors. May He never leave us or abandon us.”
1 Kings 8:57 CJB

Today, no matter what, let’s cling to the LORD and walk through life following Him and doing things His way! Also remember that He never leaves us and always has His hand upon us!
May your day be richly blessed!
Shabbat Shalom!
