“First of all, then, I counsel that petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all human beings, including kings and all in positions of prominence; so that we may lead quiet and peaceful lives, being godly and upright in everything.”
1 Timothy 2:1-2 CJB

We need to be praying for everything and everyone, no matter how we may feel about it! Often times, when we pray for people, especially those we disagree with or dislike, the LORD will and does give us His peace!

“This is what God, our Deliverer, regards as good; this is what meets His approval.”
1 Timothy 2:3 CJB

The LORD wants us to pray for folks, not complain about folks!

“He wants all humanity to be delivered and come to full knowledge of the truth.”
1 Timothy 2:4 CJB

Today, realize the LORD doesn’t only want us to pray, but also share the truth about His Salvation and Grace!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Because you are listening to these rulings, keeping and obeying them, Adonai your God will keep with you the covenant and mercy that He swore to your ancestors.”
Deuteronomy 7:12 CJB

When we are listening and doing what the LORD says, the result will always be easier, filled with blessings. When we don’t disaster is sure to follow!

“He will love you, bless you and increase your numbers; He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground-your grain, wine, olive oil and the young of your cattle and sheep-in the land He swore to your ancestors that He would give you.”
Deuteronomy 7:13 CJB

The LORD loves us no matter what. Unfortunately, the blessings of life often don’t happen because of our sin and disobedience! The result of walking in the ways of the LORD always brings joy!

“You make me know the path of life; in your presence is unbounded joy, in your right hand eternal delight.”
Psalm 16:11 CJB

Today, let’s look to the LORD for everything and do life His way. As a result life will always be more joyful!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Have them stop devoting their attention to myths and never-ending genealogies; these divert people to speculating instead of doing God’s work, which requires trust.”
1 Timothy 1:4 CJB

We all need to be careful of wasting our time doing and listening to foolish things, that suck us into never-ending stupidity!

“For the time is coming when people will not have patience for sound teaching, but will cater to their passions and gather around themselves teachers who say whatever their ears itch to hear. Yes, they will stop listening to the truth, but will turn aside to follow myths.”
2 Timothy 4:3-4 CJB

One of the problems we have today is people get so caught up in nonsense that they hear on the news, social media and from false teachers! The key is: to be grounded in His word and be caught up in the LORD!

“How blessed are those who reject the advice of the wicked, don’t stand on the way of sinners or sit where scoffers sit! Their delight is in Adonai’s Torah (instruction); on His Torah they meditate day and night.”
Psalm 1:1-2 CJB

Today, don’t get caught up in the nonsense of the world and its endless paths of foolishness! Instead get caught up in the LORD!
Have a blessed day immersing yourself in the LORD!
Shabbat Shalom!

“May the LORD direct your hearts into God’s love and the perseverance which the Messiah gives.”
2 Thessalonians 3:5 CJB

More than ever, as believers, we need to be walking in the LOVE and light of the LORD!

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

The answer is: we don’t need to fear or be afraid of anything because we belong to the LORD, so let’s walk in His light!

“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 all sin.”
1 John 1:7 CJB

Today, the world around us is pretty nasty, filled with all kinds of vile people! The best and only way to be preserved and protected is to walk in His light!
Have a blessed day walking with the LORD!

“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. For the Day will not come until after the Apostasy has come and the man who separates himself from Torah has been revealed, the one destined for doom.”
2 Thessalonians 2:3 CJB

Misinformation is a big deal today, but even during the first century, believers in Yeshua had the same problem of misinformation! Many people shared and spoke half truths to misinform or mislead people. The same is happening today!

“But be careful not to let yourselves be seduced, so that you turn aside, serving other gods and worship them.”
Deuteronomy 11:16 CJB

God is always warning us about deception, being seduced by the world and misinformed even by other so – called believers! Understand the Day of the LORD hasn’t come yet, but I believe it could happen soon, so we need to be warning people and fortifying our hearts against the enemy!

“Protect me like the pupil of Your eye, hide me in the shadow of Your wings.”
Psalm 36:7 CJB

Today, be careful of misinformation by using the filter of Scripture, don’t fall into the trap of seducing spirits of the world! Have a blessed day taking refuge in the shadow of God’s wings!
