“And the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”

Genesis 2:7

This is a sobering thought. We all are nothing but dust! The amazing thing here is that God breathed life into us!

“I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.”

Psalm 139:14

So, no matter what we may have going on around us, we need to look to the LORD, not at the situations that surround us! Remember, it’s His breath that is in us. Even if the things going on around us may seem out of control, remember, He is in perfect control.

“Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable.”

Psalm 145:3

Today can and will have ups and downs, but remember, you have the very breath of the LORD filling your lungs! Have a blessed day breathing in the LORD!

“Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light.”

Genesis 1:3 CJB

Interesting! The first recorded words of God in the Bible are, ‘Let there be light’! Why? Because we need light to see, to know where we are going and, most of all, to remove darkness!

“God saw the light was good, And God divided the light from the darkness.”

Genesis 1:4 CJB

The LORD wants us to be separate from the darkness of the world; He desires us to walk in His light!

“But if we are walking in the light, as He is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of His Son Yeshua (Jesus) purifies us from sin.”

1 John 1:7 CJB

Today, don’t get caught in the darkness of politics, social media and gossip, but instead get caught up in His light, the light of the LORD!

“Yeshua spoke to them again: I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light which gives life.”

John 8:17 CJB

If you want to have life, then walk in His light! Have a blessed day following the LORD, searching His word and fellowshipping with His people!

Shavua Tov! (Have a good week)

“So there was division among the people because of Him.”

John 7:43

Sounds like the world today! There is division in politics, families and even in the body of believers! So often, we get so caught up in what we believe and think, we are not able to listen to others!

“You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.”

Leviticus 19:18

We really should take this to heart! Instead of being divided about everything, let us look for common ground. That’s usually where the LORD is, looking for ways to bring people into His salvation!

“Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessings is upon Your people.”

Psalm 3:8

Today, help us all “O LORD” to be less divided and help us to bring people closer to You! Have a blessed day.

“Beat your plowshares into swords And your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak say, I am strong.”

Joel 3:10

We have heard that in the kingdom to come, the word says the opposite; beat your swords and spears into plows! But we are not living in the kingdom yet! We do live in a world full of darkness, anger and violence, just turn the news on for five minutes.

“Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Matthew 24:44 and Luke 12:40

We don’t know when the LORD is coming, but we do know the times we are living in!

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Isaiah 5:20

What are we to do? We need to study His word, share His word and reflect His light!

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

1 Peter 2:9

Today, let us do just that: reflect the light of the LORD, allow His peace to flow through you! Be ready, be prepared and know your strength is in the LORD. Have a blessed day!

Shabbat Shalom.

“Yet even now, says Adonai, Turn to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping and lamenting.”

Joel 2:12 CJB

We, at times, may feel like our life is upside down. That’s when we need to turn to the LORD, not the world! The world has a pill or a plan for everything you can imagine! The LORD has a way!

“As for me, I will call upon God, And the LORD shall save me.”

Psalm 55:16 NKJB

Today, let us call on the LORD for direction, healing and guidance, not on the world! Also don’t get anxious when things don’t go according to your plans. Realize the LORD always has a better plan!

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Isaiah 55:9 NKJB

So, no matter what you have going on around you, realize the LORD has a plan and a way! Just turn to Him, wait on Him and walk in His ways! Have a blessed day!
