“I wish as in the old days, back in the times when God watched over me; when His lamp shone over my head, and I walked through the dark by its light; as I was when I was young, and God’s counsel graced my tent.”
Job 29:2-4 CJB

After listening to the leaders of this world ramble on about how good they are and how right and godly they ac, realize they’re nothing without the LORD. God’s hand is upon whom He choses and men and their knowledge and promises is nothing but hot air!

“Then you will become children of your Father in heaven. For He makes His sun shine on good and bad people alike, and He sends rain to the righteous and the unrighteous alike.”
Matthew 5:45 CJB

The word of God tells us no one is good but God, we need to be careful of believing our country, our political party or social status has any influence on what God thinks! Read the rest of this chapter and see Job become full of himself because God has given Him grace. Do we do the same?

“Adonai is good to all; His compassion rests on all His creatures.”
Psalm 145:9 CJB

Today, we all need to take a good look at ourselves and the world around us, seek the LORD and His will! Seek, pray, repent and forgive are all things we can and should be doing.
Have a blessed day looking to the LORD.

“And to human beings He said, Look, fear of Adonai is wisdom! Shunning evil is understanding!”
Job 28:28 CJB

What we should fear is going through life without the LORD! Living with the LORD is shunning and staying away from evil!

“The first and foremost point of wisdom is the fear of Adonai; all those living by it gain good common sense. His praise stands forever.”
Psalm 111:10 CJB

When we live in the LORD and walk in His ways we will bask in His wisdom and His glory!

“Here is the final conclusion, now that you have heard everything: fear God, and keep His mitzvot; this is what being human is all about.”
Ecclesiastes 12:13 CJB

Today, there are a lot of opinions, directions and information out there! Understand it’s all a bunch of noise and nonsense compared to the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“For what hope does the godless have from his gain when God takes away his life?”
Job 27:8 CJB

The godless person has nothing when he or she breathes their last breath! All our hope is in Yeshua (Jesus) the God of our salvation! So no matter how much we gain on earth, we can’t take it with us when we breathe our last breath here!

“I am teaching you how God uses His power, not hiding what Shaddai (The Almighty) is doing. Look, you all can see for yourselves; so why are you talking such empty nonsense?”
Job 27:11-12 CJB

In other words we can see the sun, moon and stars and all the things in creation that God isn’t hiding! Everyone can see the Almighty’s creation, unfortunately we hear a bunch of useless noise, empty nonsense going on around us!

“For Adonai is great, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared more than all gods.”
Psalm 96:4 CJB

Today, with all the useless nonsense going on in the world around us, realize it’s all a bunch of useless noise! So let’s shut off the world and turn on the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Sh’ol (Hell) is naked before Him; Abaddon (Destruction) lies uncovered.”
Job 26:6

There is nothing covered up before the LORD and everything is naked before Him! God knows all and sees all!

“He stretches the north over chaos and suspends the earth on nothing.”
Job 26:7 CJB

Our LORD is so amazing in all He does, even with how He hangs the earth on nothing! So understand there is nothing we can confess that He can’t forgive! Also there is no situation that we are in that He can’t take care of!

“He will again have compassion on us, He will subdue our iniquities. You will throw all their sins into the depths of the sea.”
Micah 7:19 CJB

Knowing we can’t hide anything from the LORD, let’s also know there is nothing that He can’t forgive! Be encouraged today that the LORD hears our confessions and forgives us of all our sins!
Have a blessed day knowing the LORD forgives!

“May my teaching fall like rain. May my speech condense like dew, like light rain on blades of grass, or showers on growing plants. For I will proclaim the name of Adonai. Come, declare the greatness of our God.”
Deuteronomy 32:2-3 CJB

This is what we get to do; share, proclaim and speak about the LORD and share His word!

“Sing praises to Adonai, who lives in Tziyon; proclaim His deeds among the peoples.”
Psalm 9:11 CJB

No matter what is going on around us, we get to share the Good News of the LORD’S salvation! It’s what the dark world around us really needs!

“Yes, you will go out with joy, you will be led forth in peace. As you come, the mountains and hills will burst out into song, and all the trees in the countryside will clap their hands.”
Isaiah 55:12 CJB

Today, let’s go out and proclaim the Good News of the LORD, because the world really needs it and so do we!
May your day be filled with His joy!
