Reflect God’s Shalom

“Pharaoh said to Yoseph, Here, I place you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”
Genesis 41:41 CJB

So interesting that anytime there is a disaster in the world, the world looks to God and His people for help!

“Seek Adonai and His strength; always seek His presence.”
1 Chronicles 16:11 CJB

The world always falls in to fear when disaster hits, as believers, we need to be calm when things go down, because that’s what the world will see God’s shalom (peace) in us!

“What I am leaving with you is shalom-I am giving you My shalom. I don’t give the way the world gives. Don’t let yourselves be upset or frightened.”
John 14:27 CJB

So as we see tension throughout the world we need to reflect the shalom of Adonai!
Have a blessed day reflecting Adonai’s shalom!

Give God glory

“They said to him, We each had a dream, and there’s no one around who can interpret it. Yosef said to them, Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please.”
Genesis 40:8 CJB

Yoseph, like Daniel could interpret dreams, but they gave all credit and glory to God! Do we give all glory and credit to God?

“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among the peoples!”
1 Chronicles 16:24 CJB

What is the glory of God? It’s His majesty, His creation and His redemption for us! We are all sinners that are doomed to hell, but because of the glory of God, He redeemed us!

“Adonai is alive! Blessed is my Rock! Exalted be God, the Rock of my Salvation!”
2 Samuel 22:47 CJB

Today, let’s give all glory and honor to God, because it is He who does all things well! He gives us strength, knowledge and wisdom to do His will!
Have a blessed day giving glory to God!

Prosper serving Adonai

“The prison warden paid no attention to anything Yoseph did, because Adonai was with him; and whatever he did, Adonai prospered.”
Genesis 39:23 CJB

No matter what we do, if we are doing it as if we are working directly for Adonai, we will prosper!

“Their delight is in Adonai’s Torah; on His Torah they meditate day and night. They are like trees planted by streams-they bear their fruit in season, their leaves never wither, everything they do succeeds.”
Psalm 1:2-3 CJB

When we are planted in the Word of God, doing life His way, we will prosper! The cool thing He is always watching over us!

“For Adonai watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked is doomed.”
Psalm 1:6 CJB

Today, let’s plant ourselves in the ways of Adonai and watch Him prosper and grow in your life!
May your day be richly blessed!

Repent

“But then he withdrew his hand, and his brother came out; so she said, How did you manage to break out first? Therefore he was named Peretz [breaking out].”
Genesis 38:29 CJB

What is interesting here is this is the first of the twins born out of prostitution and incest to Tamar and Judah, they are in the direct genealogy of King David and Yeshua!
Ruth 4:18-22 and Matthew 1:3,
This shows the grace and mercy of God!

” God, in Your grace, have mercy on me; in your great compassion, blot out my crimes.”
Psalm 51:3 CJB

We see how bad David blew it here: adultery and murder, but he knew if he repented, God will forgive which is the key to salvation!

“Look to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God; there is no other.”
Isaiah 45:22 CJB

If you truly want salvation, then all you have to do is look to God to be saved and repent (return in Hebrew)!
So no matter what you have done, if you simply call on God and repent, He is faithful and just to save!
May your day be richly blessed!
Shabbat Shalom!
