Shine

“If it is blind, injured, mutilated, has an abnormal growth or has festering or running sores, you are not to offer it to Adonai or make such an offering by fire on the altar to Adonai.”
Leviticus 22:22 CJB

In other words we are to give God our best not our left overs!

“I exhort you, therefore, brothers, in view of God’s mercies, to offer yourselves as a sacrifice, living and set apart for God. This will please him; it is the logical “Temple worship” for you.”
Romans 12:1 CJB

God is asking us to be a living sacrifice for Him, giving Him our best! What is our best? Simply giving of ourselves holding nothing back and shining for Adonai!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in Heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 CJB

Today, let’s give God our best and reflect His glorious light!
Have a blessed day praising Him!

Be holy

“Moshe said these things to Aharon, his sons and all the people of Israel.”
Leviticus 21:24 CJB

What is Moshe saying? That we are to be holy, set apart and not ordinary!

“On the contrary, following the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in your entire way of life; since the Tanakh says, You are to be holy because I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:15-16 CJB

God isn’t saying be holy, so you can be an overly pious person! He’s is asking us to be holy (not ordinary) like the rest of the unbelieving world! He wants us to be special, set apart for Him!

“Because you are a people set apart as holy for Adonai your God. Adonai your God has chosen you to be His own unique treasure out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.”
Deuteronomy 14:2 CJB

God desires us to be set apart from the world and desires us to live a God—fearing special life in Him!
Let’s have a blessed day living for Adonai!

Trust Adonai

“You are to observe all my regulations and rulings and act on them, so that the land to which I am bringing you will not vomit you out.”
Leviticus 20:22 CJB

What God is saying here is we represent Him and we need to act like it and look like it! How? By walking in His ways!

“How happy is everyone who fears Adonai, who lives by His ways.”
Psalm 128:1 CJB

When we walk in the ways of Adonai, we will always be happier and better off!

“Blessed is the man who trusts in Adonai; Adonai will be His security.”
Jeremiah 17:7 CJB

With all the things going on throughout the world we really need to follow hard after Adonai, trusting Him in everything!
Have a blessed day being a light!

Walk in God’s ways

“Observe all My regulations and rulings, and do them; I am Adonai.”
Leviticus 19:37 CJB

Walking with Adonai is not meant to be a burden! Doing life His way will always be easier!

“For loving God means obeying His commands. Moreover, His commands are not burdensome.”
1 John 5:3 CJB

When we love someone, we will listen to them and try to make them happy by doing what they say. So if we love Adonai, we really should be striving to do what He says!

“You are to follow Adonai your God, fear Him, obey His mitzvot (commands), listen to what He says, serve Him and cling to Him.”
Deuteronomy 13:5 CJB verse 4 in other translations.

The best thing we can do is cling to Adonai, doing life His way as explained by His word!
Have an amazing blessed day!
