“Yeshua answered, Perverted people, without trust! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me!”
Matthew 17:17 CJB

Yeshua (Jesus) can be a little rough and direct with us, but it is really good for us! The reality is the world really is full of perverted people who want what they think is right! What we need is all people to repent, the world needs to look to the LORD and ask for forgiveness!

“If I shut up the sky, so that there is no rain; or if I order locust to devour the land; or if I send an epidemic of sickness among my people; then, if My people, who bear My name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:13-14 CJB

The key and solution is always on going, to be Yeshua (Jesus) and nothing else! No matter what is going we need to look to the LORD! He is all knowing and He really is in control of all things!

“On the day of my trouble I am calling You, for You will answer me.”
Psalm 86:7 CJB

Today, things may be really out of whack and out of control. The solution is Yeshua (Jesus). Repenting is the key!
Have a blessed day looking to Him!

“Then Yeshua told His talmidim If anyone wants to come after Me, let him say ‘No’ to himself, take up his execution-stake, and keep following Me.”
Matthew 16:24 CJB

Here we see Jesus really telling us to drop our own selfishness and follow Him!

“For whoever wants to save his own life will destroy it, but whoever destroys his life for my sake will find it.”
Matthew 16:25 CJB

It seems the more we live for self the more miserable we become! The more we live for Jesus the more joy we will have in life.

“What good will it do someone if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or, what can a person give in exchange for his life?”

We all need to be careful of falling into worldly traps and having earthly desires! Today, let’s follow hard after the LORD and follow in His ways!
Have a blessed day in Him.

“Their worship of me is useless, because they teach man-made rules as if they were doctrines.”
Matthew 15:9 CJB

Be careful of teachers who make rules and doctrines that don’t line up with scripture or make practices that are not biblically sound!

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways, says Adonai.”
Isaiah 55:8 CJB

God has a plan and a way that He has designed things to be! The problem is we design things to fit our own ways we want them to be! God doesn’t fit in our box!

“May my ways be steady in observing Your laws.”
Psalm 119:5 CJB

How do we keep ourselves from falling into man made doctrines? By being in the word of God daily and doing what He says!
Have a blessed day getting into the word of God.

“But at once Yeshua spoke to them. Courage, He said, it is I. Stop being afraid.”
Matthew 14:27 CJB

Even though the disciples here are freaking out because of the storm they were in, Yeshua tells them to take courage! Why? Because, He is right in the storm with them. The same goes for us!

“In my distress my comfort is this: that your promise gives me life.”
Psalm 119:50 CJB

Often times we can feel the pressures of life crushing us, but don’t focus on them, but focus on the LORD instead!

“Stay alert, always praying that you will have the strength to escape all the things that will happen and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.”
Luke 21:36 CJB

Today, instead of worrying about everyday issues ( the storms) keep your focus on the LORD instead, knowing He is gonna get you through.
Have a blessed day in Him.

“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A man found it, hid it again, then in great joy went and sold everything he owned, and bought that field.”
Matthew 13:44 CJB

When we come to the LORD and realize all He has done for us, saving our souls from hell, we should have the desire to give up everything to follow Him!

“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for fine pearls. On finding one very valuable pearl he went away, sold everything he owned and bought it.”
Matthew 13:45-46 CJB

We always need to be on the lookout for the LORD and also looking to share that awesome gift of Salvation with others! Yeshua (Jesus) gave up everything to save us! What are we willing to give up to follow Him?

“On the contrary, they are new every morning! How great Your faithfulness! Adonai is all I have, I say; therefore I will put my hope in Him. Adonai is good to those waiting for him, to those who are seeking Him out.”

Today, realize the only thing we should be seeking is the LORD and His Kingdom, because no matter what we give up, He fills with something better!
Have a blessed day living in the faithfulness of the LORD!
