“He said to them: Follow me, because Adonai has given your enemy Mo’av into your hands. They went after him, seized the fords of the Yarden opposite Mo’av and permitted no one to cross.”

Judges 3:28 CJB

The LORD has given us victory also and all we have to do is step out and take it! Often times what holds us back is our reluctance, our fear or our own misled minds!

“Claiming to be wise, they have become fools!”

Romans 1:22 CJB

We have victory when we do things the LORD’S way not ours, we can and do suffer defeat when we do things our own way.

“Thus was Mo’av subdued that day under the power of Israel. Then the land had rest for eighty years.”

Judges 3:30 CJB

Today, know we can and do have victory in the LORD. Be careful of trying to have everything the way you imagine it should be or want it to be! Have a blessed day following the LORD!

“But then Adonai raised up judges, who rescued them from the power of those who were plundering them.”

Judges 2:16 CJB

Just like the nation of Israel, every time they hit rock bottom God sent a judge to deliver them! Same goes for us!

“He delivers me from my enemies. You lift me high above my enemies, you rescue me from violent men.”

Psalm 18:49 CJB

How comforting to know when we blow it, the LORD is always right there to save and deliver us!

“Make Your face shine on Your servant; in Your grace, save me.”

Psalm 31:6 CJB

Have a blessed day knowing the LORD has help on the way, so just keep calling and waiting on Him.

“In time, when Israel had grown strong, they did put the Kena’ ani (Canaanites) to forced labor but failed to drive them out completely.”

Judges 1:28 CJB

The same goes for us. If we don’t drive out the things in our lives that stumble us, we will always stumble back into sin!

“Eliyahu stepped forward before all the people and said, How long are you going to jump back and forth between two positions? If Adonai is God, follow Him; but if it’s Ba’al, follow him! The people answered not a word.”

1 Kings 18:21 CJB

Often times, this is where we can be faltering between two opinions or not completely removing the things that lead us to stumbling. We hold onto unnecessary things.

“Keep deceitful ways far from me, and favor me with Your Torah (instruction).”

Psalm 119:29 CJB

We all have something that distracts us or gets in the way of serving the LORD! Today, let’s pray and make a effort to get rid of the things that distract us! Have a blessed day in Him!

“Return, Israel, to Adonai your God, for your guilt has made you stumble.”

Hosea 14:2 CJB

Most of our problems are created by us! It’s our pride, our arrogance and our disobedience to the LORD that usually gets us into trouble! With that said, we also need to remember the LORD is always right there!

“I will heal their disloyalty, I will love them freely; for my anger has turned from him.”

Hosea 14:5 CJB

The LORD is always waiting to forgive and heal us, it’s up to us to call on Him and repent!

“Let the wise understand these things, and let the discerning know them. For the ways of Adonai are straight, And the righteous walk in them, but in them sinners stumble.”

Hosea 14:10 CJB

Today, know that we may blow it from time to time, but remember when we do, we have a LORD who forgives and shows us the right way to walk. Have a blessed day!

“Still, I am Adonai your God, from the land of Egypt; and you don’t know any God but Me or, other than Me, and Savior.”

Hosea 13:4 CJB

In other words, no matter how hard you try to work out your own plans or think you have it all under control, realize the LORD is still in control of all things and has it all worked out!

“Yeshua said, I am the way-and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 14:6 CJB

Don’t get caught up in foolish worldly traps of politicians, entertainers or public speakers. They are all full of lies and deceit! There is only one Savior, Jesus, who is full of truth and life!

“Since it is written in the Tanakh, As I live, says Adonai, every knee will bend before Me, and every tongue will publicly acknowledge God.”

Romans 14:11 CJB also Isaiah 45:23

Today, don’t get distracted or caught up in worldly junk, seek the LORD instead!

Have a blessed day!
