“Human life on earth is like serving in the army; yes, we drudge through our days like a hired worker, like a slave longing for shade, like a worker thinking only of his wages.”
Job 7:1-2 CJB

Sounds like we are having some of the same issues today! We are just trudging through life, just trying to get by, working and getting nowhere!

“Guide me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are the God who saves me, my hope is in You all day long.”
Psalm 25:5 CJB

We all can get caught up in the mundane things of life: jobs, bills and health. It can and does distract us from the things of the LORD, especially when we work and it seems there is more month than money!

“Following the way of Your judgments, we put our hope in You. The desire of all our soul is to remember You and Your name.”
Isaiah 26:8 CJB

Today, let’s not get sucked in to the things going on in the world, but instead let’s focus on the LORD and what He is doing! Let’s not get distracted!
Have a blessed day!

“Today Adonai your God orders you to obey these laws and rulings. Therefore, you are to observe and obey them with all your heart and all your being.”
Deuteronomy 26:16 CJB

We can’t say we are believers and do our own thing, we have to follow the LORD wholeheartedly!

“You are agreeing today that Adonai is your God and that you will follow His ways; observe His laws, mitzvot (commandments) and rulings; and do what He says.”
Deuteronomy 26:17 CJB

No matter what situation we enter in, our jobs, the grocery store or our homes, we must obey the LORD and do things His way! Get into His word and obey His commands.

“In turn Adonai is agreeing today that you are His own unique treasure, as He promised you; that you are to observe all His mitzvot (commandments).”
Deuteronomy 26:18 CJB

With all the problems going in the world around us, we will always be better off navigating life by following the LORD and His ways!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“If only I could have my wish granted, and God would give me what I’m hoping for-that would decide to crush me, that He would let His hand loose and cut me off!”
Job 6:8-9 CJB

We all, from time to time, want to just give up or that the LORD would just take us away! What we have to remember is no matter our situation, God is using it to strengthen us and glorify Him! He is gonna get us through!

“Have I enough strength to go on waiting? What end can I expect, that I should be patient?”
Job 6:11 CJB

Even if things around us seem to be completely out of control with no hope or end in sight, remember, be patient and wait on the LORD. Rely upon His strength!

“Put your hope in Adonai, be strong, and let your heart take courage! Yes, put your hope in Adonai.”
Psalm 27:14 CJB

Today, put your hope in the LORD and rest in His strength! Don’t look to the world, which is filled with fear and anxiety, but look to the LORD, who is full of hope!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom

“If I were you, I would seek God; I would make my plea to Him.”
Job 5:8 CJB

This is actually good advice, seek God and pleaD your cause or case to Him. We all need to be careful of griping and complaining to others. We will always be better off in the hands of the LORD!

“For God does great deeds beyond investigation, wonders beyond all reckoning.”
Job 5:9 CJB

When we go to the LORD with our concerns and issues we will get results, but, when we go to the world all we really get is frustration. Realize though, when we go to the LORD we may not get the answer we want, we may even be corrected or disciplined!

“How happy the person whom God corrects! So don’t despise Shaddai’s (the Almighty) discipline.”
Job 5:17 CJB

Today, bring all things to the LORD and realize no matter what, He is doing what is best for us, even if it is we who get disciplined! Personally I’d rather be disciplined by the LORD than the world!
Have an amazing day in Him!

“What I see is that those who plow sin and sow trouble reap just that.”
Job 4:8 CJB

In other words when we see evil people doing evil things, we need to understand the LORD will deal with it! We instead get to pray and shine the light of the LORD!

“Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows.”
Galatians 6:7 CJB

What a relief we don’t have to judge people, God will take care of it! So we don’t need to get caught in the foolish sinfulness of the world! All we have to do is get caught up in LORD!

“At a breath from God, they perish; at a blast from His anger, they are consumed.”
Job 4:9 CJB

Today, don’t get caught up in the worldliness, but instead get caught up in the LORD!
Have a blessed day!
