“But as it is, God arranged each of the parts in the body exactly as He wanted them.”
1 Corinthians 12:18 CJB

Everything that happens is completely the way the LORD wants it to be, nothing surprises Him!

“As high as the sky is above the earth are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:9 CJB

Many things happening in the world today can bother us, but it’s going exactly the way the LORD plans it!

“Teach me, Adonai, the way of your laws; keeping them will be its own reward for me.”
Psalm 119:33 CJB

Today, no matter what is going on in the world, know this, it’s exactly the way the LORD wants it to be!
May your day be blessed knowing the LORD’S will is being done!

“If we would examine ourselves, we would not come under judgment.”
1 Corinthians 11:31 CJB

What a great statement! We all need to take a good look at ourselves before we even think of looking at someone else!

“But when we are judged by the LORD, we are being disciplined, so that we will not be condemned along with the world.”
1 Corinthians 11:32 CJB

We should all be thankful that the LORD judges us and prompts us to correct our actions! The good news is we will not be judged like the unbelieving world!

“How happy the man whom You correct, Yah, whom you teach from Your Torah(instruction), giving him respite from the days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked!”
Psalm 94:12-13 CJB

Today, let’s really take a good look at ourselves and allow the LORD to convict us to correction! Also let’s be thankful that we are not going to be judged like the rest of the unbelieving world!
Have a blessed day in the LORD!

“So now please, let Adonai’s power be as great as when you, said, Adonai is slow to anger, rich in grace, forgiving offenses and crimes; yet not exonerating guilty, but causing the negative effects of the parents’ offenses to be experienced by their children and even by the third and fourth generations.”
Numbers 14:17-18 CJB

Here we see Joshua and Caleb came back with a good report of the land and the other ten whined and complained! The LORD was ready to destroy them and Moses interceded, reminding the LORD of His promises, even though the LORD didn’t need to be reminded! I believe the LORD allows things to happen so we can step up and do what is right and intercede in prayer!

“Please! Forgive the offenses of this people according to the greatness of Your grace, just as You have borne with this people from Egypt until now.”
Numbers 14:19 CJB

The thing we should see here is God wants us to step out in faith and do what He calls us to do, even when it seems impossible! Realizing, even when we fail He is gracious, kind and forgiving when we repent!

“Adonai answered, I have forgiven, as you have asked.”
Numbers 14:20 CJB

Today, know we are forgiven and we don’t have to be afraid of stepping out in faith!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Well, whatever you do, whether it’s eating or drinking or anything else, do it all so as to bring glory to God.”
1 Corinthians 10:31 CJB

In everything we do we should really try to bring glory to the LORD, that means everything we do!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 CJB

It doesn’t say do good things so your name can be in the spotlight, it says let your good works shine so the LORD can be glorified!

“Proclaim with me the greatness of Adonai; let us exalt His name together.”
Psalm 34:3 CJB

Today, let’s look for every opportunity to glorify the LORD!
Have a blessed day magnifying the LORD today!
Shabbat Shalom!

“With the “weak” I became “weak,” in order to win the “weak.” With all kinds of peoples I have become all kinds of things, so that in all kinds of circumstances I might save at least some of them.”
1 Corinthians 9:22 CJB

The point Paul is making here is be careful of judging or arguing with people, but instead look for opportunities to share the Good News! Look for common ground!

“But I do it all because of the rewards promised by the Good News, so that I may share in them along with others who come to trust.”
1 Corinthians 9:23 CJB

We need to be more about people coming to Yeshua than pushing people away from Yeshua! Often times we may be guilty of pushing folks away!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 CJB

Today, let’s be more about shining for the LORD so that we can bring more people to trusting in Yeshua!
Have blessed day sharing about the LORD!
