“Who is like You, Adonai, among the mighty? Who is like You, sublime in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders?”

Have a blessed day in Him!

“But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such intense love that, even when we were dead because of our acts of disobedience, he brought us to life along with the Messiah-it is by grace that you have been delivered.”

At times it can be so hard to wrap our heads around how much the LORD loves us, even when we know how disobedient we are!
Just remember, He really loves us!

“I said, Adonai, have pity on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

“Help me, Adonai, my God! Save me, in keeping with Your grace; So that they will know that this comes from Your hand, that You, Adonai, have done it.”
Psalm 109:26-27 CJB

Today, realize we really are foolish people who say and do silly things and people around us know and see that! Yet, with even knowing that, the LORD still saves us! Why? So He alone is glorified, because He has done it! Be careful of thinking it’s you who is good and upright, because it’s not! Everything is about the LORD and His glory!
Have a blessed day in the LORD.

All we have, say and do needs to be in union with the LORD! All the decisions we make need to be in accordance with His will!

“For the king puts his trust in Adonai, in the grace of ‘Elyon; he will not be moved.”

“Then you will delight yourself in Adonai, and He will give you your heart’s desire. Commit your way to Adonai; trust in Him, and He will act.”

The more we focus on the LORD, the more we see things His way, the more that His desires become our desires! Today, may we simply focus on the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Brothers, suppose someone is caught doing something wrong. You who have the Spirit should set him right, but in a spirit of humility, keeping an eye on yourselves so that you won’t be tempted too.”

“For if anyone thinks he is something when he is really nothing, he is fooling himself.”
