“This is clear evidence that God’s judgment is just; and as a result, you will be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God for which you are suffering.”
2 Thessalonians 1:5 CJB

As we have confessed we are sinners in need of a savior (Yeshua), that act alone counts us as worthy! What we need to do as an act of love is lovingly warning people of the coming Day of the LORD and their need of salvation!

“For it is justice for God to pay back trouble to those who are troubling you, and give rest along with us to you who are being troubled, when the Lord Yeshua is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in a fiery flame. Then He will punish those who don’t know God, that is, those who don’t listen to the Good News of our LORD Yeshua and obey it.”
2 Thessalonians 1:6-8 CJB

The LORD is gonna deal with the unbelievers in due time, but in the meantime, we need to be a witness, warning people of that soon-coming terrible Day of the LORD!

“On that Day, when He comes to be glorified by His holy people and admired by all who have trusted, you will be among them, because you trusted our witness to you.”
2 Thessalonians 1:10 CJB

What a glorious thing it is to know that we are saved and will not have to endure that terrible soon-coming Day of the LORD! Today, let’s really spend time seeking Him and warning the lost!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“But you have no need to have anything written to you, brothers, about the times and dates when this will happen; because you yourselves well know that the Day of the LORD will come like a thief in the night.”
1 Thessalonians 5:1-2 CJB

If we are in the word of God and are watching the world around us, then we should realize that the Day of the LORD is fast approaching! Don’t be distracted by people who are saying there will be peace or things are getting better, our only hope is in the LORD! Also be careful of preachers and teachers who don’t warn, say everyone is ok or just accept and love everyone! Again be careful!

“When people are saying, Everything is so peaceful and secure, then destruction will suddenly come upon them, the way labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there is no way they will escape.”
1 Thessalonians 5:3 CJB

We live in a time where even preachers have stopped warning people and are more concerned with feelings and being popular and liked instead of warning people of sin which leads to death!

“Likewise you, human being – I have appointed you as watchman for the house of Israel. Therefore, when you hear My mouth, warn them for Me.”
Ezekiel 33:7 CJB

Today, lets be people who are like the prophets of old, warning people about the Day of the LORD, then inviting them to receive the good news of His salvation!
Have a blessed day being a watchman for the LORD!

“Also, make it your ambition to live quietly, to mind your own business and earn your living by your own efforts – just as we told you.”
1 Thessalonians 4:11 CJB

With the advent of social media, we have increasingly become a people who mind everything but our own business! We have become more concerned with what others are doing, instead of just making our business about the LORD!

“Then your daily life will gain the respect of outsiders, and you will not be dependent on anyone.”
1 Thessalonians 4:12 CJB

We will find our lives with the LORD are much richer when our focus is on the LORD and what we are doing with Him!

“Serve Adonai with gladness. Enter His presence with joyful songs.”
Psalm 100:2 CJB

Today, let’s focus on the LORD and our walk with Him and not other peoples’ business!
Have a blessed day looking to the LORD!

“What great nation is there that has laws as just as this entire Torah which I am setting before you today?”
Deuteronomy 4:8 CJB

There is no nation or group of people who has a God like ours that gives us righteous ways in which to live! The problem is we usually blow it and end up calling on or pleading with the LORD for forgiveness, which He willingly gives!

“For Adonai your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.”
Deuteronomy 4:24 CJB

Realize the LORD is a consuming fire. He would like nothing more than to consume (burn up) our sins when we confess them!

“But I will call on God, and Adonai will save me.”
Psalm 55:16 CJB

Today, don’t be afraid of calling on the LORD and pleading your case before Him! He may be a jealous God, but He is also a loving God who forgives and forgets when we confess!
Have a blessed day talking with the LORD and following in His ways!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Because of this, brothers, in spite of all our trouble and distress, we were comforted over you – because of your trust; so that now we are alive; since you continued to stand fast, united with the LORD.”
1 Thessalonians 3:7-8 CJB

Even when we are stressed and depressed, when we see others doing well, it should encourage and give us joy! We need to just trust the LORD!

“Praised be God, Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, compassionate Father, God of all encouragement and comfort; who encourages us in all our trials, so that we can encourage others in whatever trials they may be undergoing with encouragement we ourselves have received from God.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 CJB

The LORD comforts us and encourages us through our trials and often times He uses others’ victories to do so! So when we see someone being successful in the LORD, we should rejoice also!

“In my distress my comfort is this: that Your promise gives me life.”
Psalm 119:15 CJB

Today, know that the LORD is working things out in your life as well as in others! He promises us never to leave or forsake us! So let’s rejoice in other folks’ victories as we do in our own!
Have a blessed day knowing the LORD is coming to get us soon!
Shabbat Shalom!
