“Thus the last ones will be first and the first last.”
Matthew 20:16 CJB

Two ways to look at this is the last one saved will get the same benefits as the first! The LORD loves all of us the same! The second way to look at this is we may seem like we finish last in life, but we will finish first in Heaven!

“Not many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”
Matthew 19:30 CJB

Often times in life we feel like we need to be first in line for alll kinds of things! What we need to be doing is putting the LORD first! Everything else will work out just fine!

“Give Adonai His, you who are godly; give Adonai His due of glory and strength; give Adonai the glory due His name; worship Adonai in holy splendor.”
Psalm 29:1-2 CJB

Today, don’t look at your position in life, but instead look to the LORD and your position with Him in Heaven, where you will be first! Also don’t worry about the evil people in the world. God will deal with them!

“When I tried to understand all this, I found it too hard for me-until I went into the sanctuaries of God and grasped what their destiny would be.”
Psalm 73:16-17 CJB

Again, don’t worry about your position in life, but focus on your position in Heaven!
Have a blessed day!

“Why are you asking Me about good? There is one who is good! But if you want to obtain eternal life, observe the mitzvot (commands).”
Matthew 19:17 CJB

We can get caught up in this debate of who is good! Am I better than others or is my side the right. What we need to be asking is are we on the side of God and are we connected to the one who is good!

“The man asked Him, which ones? and Yeshua said, Don’t murder,don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t give false testimony honor father and mother and love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 19:18-19 CJB

We can believe like this young man, claiming to keep everything, but in reality we don’t!

“Yeshua said to him, If you are serious about reaching the goal, go and sell your possessions, give to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow Me!”
Matthew 19:21 CJB

Today, don’t fall into the trap of our wealth, health and social standing! Don’t allow the world and its messes dictate your life! Instead let the LORD lead your life and let’s share His love with the world!
Have a blessed day!

“God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov. God saw the people of Israel, and God acknowledged them.”
Exodus 2:24-25 CJB

No matter what we may think, God hears us and knows what is going on around us!

“O God, my vindicator! Answer me when I call! When I was distressed, You set me free; now have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.”
Psalm 4:1 CJB

As bad as things are getting in the world, remember God knows and sees all and He has answers on the way! Remember, the LORD has got us through in the past. So He’ll get us through in the present and in our future too!

“When you call to Me and pray to Me, I will listen to you.”
Jeremiah 29:12 CJB

Today, no matter what, God is on the scene taking care of business! We can take hope in that!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“For wherever two or three are assembled in my name, I am there with them.”
Matthew 18:20 CJB

In the days we are living in, we really need to be assembling ourselves together! We really need each other!

“Assemble the people-the men, the women, the little ones and the foreigners you have in your towns-so that they can hear, learn, fear Adonai your God and take care to obey all the words of Torah.”
Deuteronomy 31:12 CJB

The best thing we can do in the times that we are living is to assemble ourselves together, fellowship and learn about the LORD!

“And let us keep paying attention to one another, in order to spur each other to love and good deeds, not neglecting our own congregational meetings, as some have made a practice of doing, but, rather, encouraging each other. And let us do this all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:24-25 CJB

Today, we all really need each other and need to be gathering together in the LORD! Have a blessed day in the LORD!
Shabbat Shalom!

“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!
