“Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach; and it will be given to him.”
James 1:5 CJB

How comforting this is when we don’t know what to do. All we need to do is ask the LORD and He gives us His wisdom!

“For Adonai gives wisdom; from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.”
Proverbs 2:6 CJB

The LORD is so good. He doesn’t just toss us into the world with no direction! He gives us His word to guide us and His Holy Spirit to give us discernment!

“Don’t deceive yourselves by only hearing what the Word says, but do it!”
James 1:22 CJB

Today, realize the LORD has given us all we need to navigate life. All we have to do is study His Word, pray, then do it!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Keep your lives free from the love of money; and be satisfied with what you have; for God himself has said, I will never fail you or abandon you.”
Hebrews 13:5 CJB

Money can be a thorn for all of us. The rich want to stay rich and the poor want to be rich. The rich and the poor have a love for money! Also the hardest thing at times can be just being satisfied with what we already have! We need to remember the LORD will never fail us!

“Therefore, we say with confidence, Adonai is my helper; I will not be afraid-what can a human being do to me?”
Hebrews 13:6 CJB

We all have financial, health and directional challenges in life, but we all need to be reminded that we belong to the LORD and He will take care of us!

“Adonai is my light and salvation; whom do I need to fear? Adonai is the stronghold of my life; of whom should I be afraid?”
Psalm 27:1 CJB

Today, realize life is full of all kinds of obstacles. The good news is we have nothing to fear. The LORD will get us through in every situation!
Have a blessed day knowing the LORD has you covered in everything!

“Keep pursuing shalom with everyone and the holiness without which no one will see the LORD.”
Hebrews 12:14 CJB

Often times this can be really difficult, trying to find Shalom (peace) with the way the world around us is going! We will always be better off when we do. Don’t let things bother you so much!

“Turn from evil, and do good; seek peace, go after it!”
Psalm 34:14 CJB

We really need to be people who seek peace and really go after it as much as we can!

“But if the people of a house or town will not welcome you or listen to you, leave it and shake its dust from your feet!”
Matthew 10:14 CJB

Today, let’s do our best to be peaceful and share the Good News of Salvation and if we are rejected, simply just walk away!
Have a peaceful day in the LORD!

“And all the following blessings will be yours in abundance-if you will do what Adonai your God says:”
Deuteronomy 28:2 CJB

We can’t expect the LORD to bless us when we are counstantly disobeying Him! Realize we will be accountable for our actions, yes, the LORD forgives, but He doesn’t bless our sins! Good things happen when we listen to the LORD!

“A blessing on you when you go out, and a blessing on you when you come in.”
Deuteronomy 28:6 CJB

Life is full of challenges that can distract us when we go out into the day and when we come in from the day! We really just need to be following the LORD in everything!

“If you love me, you will keep my commands; and I will ask the Father, and He will give you another comforting Counselor like Me, the Spirit of Truth, to be with you forever.”
John 14:15-16 CJB

How cool is this: the LORD gives us His Holy Spirit to help us keep His commandments! Today, let’s really be about doing all things God’s way!
Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Trusting is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1 CJB

Faith is living a life without trying to manipulate things, without worrying, but instead just trusting, even when we can’t see what’s going on!

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

The Hebrew word for desist is “Rafah” meaning drop it or let it go! We all have things going on in life were we try to manipulate or push things through! What the LORD wants us to do is let it go and let Him take over!

“For we live by trust, not what we see.”
2 Corinthians 5:7 CJB

Today, don’t get caught up in seeing then believing, but trusting then seeing! We always have to just trust the LORD is doing exactly what needs to be done!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
