“And let us keep paying attention to one another, in order to spur each other on to love and good deeds, not neglecting our own congregational meetings, as some have made a practice of doing, but, rather, encouraging each other. And let us do this all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:24-25 CJB

No matter where we look today, we would be in denial if we can’t see the Day of the LORD fast approaching! Knowing this should make us want and desire to be in fellowship with each other, seeing each other face to face!

“I was glad when they said to me, The house of Adonai! Let’s go!”
Psalm 122:1 CJB

We really should make assembling ourselves together a high priority!

“Unless Adonai builds the house, its builders work in vain. Unless Adonai guards the city, the guard keeps watch in vain.”
Psalm 127:1 CJB

Today, let’s realize everything and anything we do needs to have the LORD at the center! That includes when we assemble together to worship and learn about Him! It’s not about a person or a place, but it has to be about the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Just as human beings have to die once, but after this comes judgment, so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to deliver those who are eagerly waiting for Him.”
Hebrews 9:27-28 CJB

So thankful that the LORD has already dealt with our sin and I am really excited for the LORD to come and deliver us from the world!

“In His presence are honor and majesty; in His place, strength and joy.”
1 Chronicles 16:27 CJB

The world can and does bring us down, but we should be excited that soon we will be with the LORD in His place!

“My soul yearns, yes, faints with longing for the courtyards of Adonai; my heart and body cry for joy to the living God.”
Psalm 84:2 CJB

Today, let’s make seeking the presence of the LORD a priority! When we place the LORD at the top of our priority list, everything else always falls into place!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Because I will be merciful toward their wickednesses and remember their sins no more.”
Hebrews 8:12 CJB

What a great promise, that we repent and He forgives and forgets!

“He has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.”
Psalm 103:12 CJB

There are so many things we can get bogged down with in life, such as finances, failures and bad decisions! But the Good News is we are forgiven and we don’t have to be bogged down!

“Adonai is merciful and compassionate God, slow to anger and rich in grace and truth.”
Psalm 103:8 CJB

Today, let’s rejoice that the LORD has saved us from our messes that we’ve made!
Have a blessed day in the LORD!

“For the Torah appoints as cohanim g’dolim (high priests) men who have weakness; but the text which speaks about swearing of the oath, a text written later than the Torah, appoints a Son who has been brought to the goal forever.”
Hebrews 7:28 CJB

Before Yeshua, men were appointed to be high priests, but at the end of the day they were just men! There is no one better than Yeshua, the great High Priest!

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

Today, be real careful of placing men and women onto high thrones. Remember they are just human like you and me and often times will dissapoint you!

“But you are a chosen people, the Kings cohanim, a holy nation, a people for God to possess! Why? In order to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”
1 Peter 2:9 CJB

Today, realize we are all the same in the eyes of Yeshua. He really doesn’t have favorites and no one is anointed more than the other. We just have different jobs!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

“For when people have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become sharers in the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), and tasted the goodness of God’s Word and the powers of the `olam haba (age to come)- and then have fallen away-it is impossible to renew them so that they turn from their sin, as long as for themselves they keep executing the Son of God on the stake all over again and keep holding Him up in public contempt.”
Hebrews 6:4-6 CJB

We need to be careful of just continuing to willingly repeat the same sin over and over and repeatedly re-sacrifice Yeshua over and over again! Some people believe they can just purposely and repeatedly sin because they are saved and just claim grace! That makes grace cheap. The LORD has given us grace, so let’s be responsible with that free gift from the LORD!

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

We see the unbelieving world mock God, we also see many so-called believers doing the same!

“Sh`ma, Yisrael! Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai echad [Hear, Israel! Adonai our God, Adonai is one]; and you are to love Adonai your God with all your heart, all your being and all your resources.”
Deuteronomy 6:4-5 CJB

Today, let’s be believers who follow after the LORD by being in His word and doing what He says. Don’t look for wiggle room to try and get away with sinning!
Have a blessed day loving the LORD!
