“Ham, the father of Kena`an (Canaan), saw his father shamefully exposed, went out and told his two brothers.”
Genesis 9:22 CJB

This verse is usually misquoted to mean don’t expose Gods annointed, but this isn’t what’s happening here! Noah sinned and got drunk, but Ham was excited and way to eager to tell on his father! The wording here is Ham took joy in seeing his father blow it, something we see people today doing all the time! Taking joy in other people’s mistakes!

“He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy.”
Proverbs 28:13 CJB

Often times when a person is happy to see another person fall, it is usually concealing their own failures or sins! We, as believers, need to confess and repent of our sins, then pray for those who are in sin! God will deal with them!

“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

Today, know we can’t get away with anything. God sees all and knows all, but realize no one else is getting away with anything either! So let’s be glad, knowing when we confess and repent, God forgives!
Have a blessed day knowing that fact!
Shabbat Shalom!

“God remembered Noach, every living thing and all the livestock with him in the ark; so God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and water began to go down.”
Genesis 8:1 CJB

Just like Noach (Noah), God doesn’t forget us, even if you think He does, we are always on His mind and help is on the way!

“Adonai knows what the wholehearted suffer, but their inheritance lasts forever.”
Psalm 37:18 CJB

We may even think from time to time that God blesses some more than others or God deals more kindly to others than me! Understand that is the farthest thing from the truth! Why? Because God has no favorites!

“For Adonai your God is God of gods and LORD of lords, the great, mighty and awesome God, who has no favorites and accepts no bribes.”
Deuteronomy 10:17 CJB

Today, you may feel forgotten, but remember God sees us all equally and doesn’t forget you or your needs! Just wait upon His perfect timing!
Have a blessed day waiting on the LORD!

“Noach (Noah) did all that Adonai ordered him to do.”
Genesis 7:5 CJB

When we just simply do what the LORD instructs us to do through His word; blessings, protection and comfort happen!

“Then I will not be put to shame, since I will have fixed my sight on all Your mitzvit (commands).”
Psalm 119:6 CJB

We will never be put to shame when we are doing life God’s way! We will always find His ways so much better and easier than ours! It’s when we do our own thing that leads us to disaster!

“As high as the sky is above the earth are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:9 CJB

Today, we are always going to be in better shape when we do life God’s way and not ours!
Have a blessed day doing life God’s way!

“The earth was corrupt before God, the earth was filled with violence.”
Genesis 6:11 CJB

We don’t see any difference today, maybe even worse! We have corrupt politicians, businessmen and news media and the violence is even getting worse! Don’t think for a moment that God is unaware or isn’t going to deal with it, because His judgment is coming!

“”Then I myself will bring a flood of water over the earth to destroy from under heaven every living thing that breathes; everything on earth will be destroyed.”
Genesis 6:17 CJB

God promised He wouldn’t flood the earth out again, but there are hundreds of different ways for Him to pass judgment and He will! So let’s watch, pray and spread the Good News of Salvation!

“The LORD is not slow in keeping His promise, as some people think of slowness; on the contrary, He is patient with you; for it is not His purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone should turn from His sins.”
2 Peter 3:9 CJB

Today, as we look at the world around us spiraling out of control, know God is going to deal with it! Also take a good look in the mirror and see if there is anything yourself that needs to be dealt with! Remember, that we serve a gracious God, who forgives as soon as we repent!
Have a blessed day knowing the LORD has it all covered!

“Hanokh (Enoch)walked with God, and then he wasn’t there, because God took him.”
Genesis 5:24 CJB

One day we will be taken home by God, but why did God just take Hanokh (Enoch)? The reason is he walked with God, meaning he was in unity with the LORD! We can’t say we walk with God and disagree with His word or question His ways, because that would lack unity! We have to be in agreement with the LORD to have unity and it needs to be His way, not ours!

“I treasure Your word in my heart, so I won’t sin against you. Blessed are You, Adonai! Teach me your laws.”
Psalm 119:11-12 CJB

The word of God teaches how to walk in the ways of the LORD, it doesn’t tell us to get in His way! Unfortunately, that’s what we do when we think we can do our own thing!

“If we claim to have fellowship with Him while we are walking in the darkness, we are lying and not living out the truth. 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 sin.”
1 John 1:6-7 CJB

Today, let us be looking to the LORD and seeking His ways in which to walk!
Have a blessed day walking in unity with the LORD!
