“Israel took everything he owned with him on his journey. He arrived at Be’er-Sheva and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Yitz’chak (Isaac).”
Genesis 46:1 CJB

Here we see Israel (Jacob) prayed and worshipped God before He went on this journey to Egypt! Do we take the time to pray before we do anything?

“Give thanks to Adonai; for He is good, for His grace continue forever.”
1 Chronicles 16:34 CJB

No matter what our situation is, let’s call on Adonai to go before us! Cover anything we say or do in prayer!

“Haven’t I ordered you, ‘Be strong, be bold’? So don’t be afraid or downhearted, because Adonai your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 CJB

Like Joshua, we need to be strong, bold and courageous as we go out into the world! Remember, God is always with us wherever we go! Let’s call on Him before we speak or do anything!
May your day be blessed calling on Adonai!

“Yoseph said to his brothers, please! Come closer. And they came closer. He said, I am Yoseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.”
Genesis 45:4 CJB

What a picture of the day that Messiah will reveal Himself to His people. Like Yoseph is revealing himself to his brothers here!

“When that day comes, a spring will be opened up for the house of David and the people living in Yerushayalim to cleanse them from sin and impurity.”
Zechariah 13:1 CJB

What a day to be looking forward to, when we can be with Messiah not to be judged but to be embraced, loved and cleansed! So let’s walk in the hope of being with Adonai!

“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 purifies us from all sin.”
1 John 1:7 CJB

Realize as Yoseph was saving his brothers from certain death, Yeshua is saved us from death and Hell!
Have a blessed day knowing God redeems us. All we have to do is call on Him!

“They replied, Why does my lord speak this way? Heaven forbid that we should do such a thing!”
Genesis 44:7 CJB

Yoseph’s brothers thought everything was good, until, the servant of Yoseph caught up with them!
We all have days like this where even if we think we are doing all things right, something still goes wrong!

“As high as the sky is above the earth are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:9 CJB

Our ways, no matter how good intentioned, don’t match how good God’s ways are! We may think that the plans of God make no sense, but no matter what, they are the best!

“For I know what plans I have in mind for you,’ says Adonai,’plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 CJB

God, knows exactly what we are going through and every step we will take! We just need to remember His ways are perfect, so don’t be surprised by detours, but instead be excited!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“May El Shaddai give you favor in the man’s sight, so that he will release to you your other brother as well as Binyamin. As for me, if I must lose my children, lose them I will.”
Genesis 43:14 CJB

The point here is do we trust God more than man? The sad thing is when things get bad we tend to seek the world first!

“Seek Adonai and His strength; always seek His presence.”
Psalm 105:4 CJB

In every situation we need to be seeking God! He is all we need and the only one we should seek!

“When you seek Me, you will find Me, provided you seek for Me wholeheartedly.”
Jeremiah 29:13 CJB

What does it mean to Seek Adonai wholeheartedly? It means to seek Him in everything!
May your day be richly blessed seeking Adonai!
