“I know that I will soon lay aside this tent of mine, as our LORD Yeshua the Messiah has made it clear to me.”
2 Peter 1:14 CJB

One day we will all breathe our last breath and Peter is making clear that he knows that! What he doing is telling us to be fervent for sharing the Good News of Salvation! Why? Our time to go home is also getting closer!

We always need to be ready to share the Good News! Why? Because the world is in desperate need of Salvation!

“Proclaim the Word! Be on hand with it whether the time seems right or not. Convict, censure and exhort with unfailing patience and with teaching.”
2 Timothy 4:2 CJB

“Proclaim with me the greatness of Adonai; let us exalt His name together.”
Psalm 34:3 CJB

Let’s be believers who proclaim and invite people to know Yeshua at every chance we get! Why? Because time is short!
May your day be richly blessed!

Be on guard

“Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
1 Peter 5:8 CJB

The point of this verse is that we are to be on guard at all times because the Adversary (Satan) is extremely crafty!

“Now the serpent (Satan) was more crafty than any wild animal which Adonai, God, had made. He said to the woman, Did God really say, ‘You are not to eat from any tree in the garden’?”
Genesis 3:1 CJB

We all know what happened to Adam and Eve, deceived by the adversary! We all need to be careful of the enemy! Why? Because he is really craftier than all of us and is always looking for ways to cast doubt, deceive and cause havoc in the world!

“It happened one day that the sons of God came to serve Adonai, and among them came the Adversary [Hebrew: Satan]. Adonai asked the Adversary, Where are you coming from? The Adversary answered Adonai, From roaming through the earth, wandering here and there.”
Job 1:6-7 CJB

Two things to take in here: Every time believers get together, Satan shows up to see who he can stumble! Also Satan is always roaming around seeing whom he can deceive! We just need to be alert and studying the word of God so we are always able to defend ourselves from his attacks!
May your day be richly blessed!
Shabbat Shalom!

Spread love

“More than anything, keep loving each other actively; because love covers many sins.”
1 Peter 4:8 CJB

More than anything we need to be fervent in loving people! Why? Because God really is about love and love leads to salvation! Hate on the other hand leads to destruction!

“Hate stirs up disputes, but love covers all kinds of transgressions.”
Proverbs 10:12 CJB

Understand the Adversary (Satan) is a hater and loves stirring up hate in people! We must cling to love the love of God! When Yeshua was asked what was the greatest mitzvot (commands) to keep He replied:

“He told him, ‘You are to love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.’ This is the greatest and most important mitzvah. And the second is similar to it, ‘You are to love your neighbor as yourself.'”
Matthew 36:37-39 CJB also in Deuteronomy 6:4-9

No matter how much hate and division there is around us, we, as believers, need to spread the love of Yeshua!
May your day be richly blessed!
Shabbat Shalom!

Life has trials

“For if God has in fact willed that you should suffer, it is better that you suffer for doing what is good than for doing what is evil.”
1 Peter 3:17 CJB

When we suffer for the sake of Yeshua, we can rejoice, but when we suffer for playing the fool doing stupid things we pay for it! Suffering for God isn’t like suffering for sin! Why? Because with God we have His protection and His guidance to get us through!

“And indeed, all who want to live a godly life united with Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted, while evil people and imposters will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived themselves.”
2 Timothy 3:12-13 CJB

Now we need to understand there is a difference in suffering for Yeshua and serving Him and making worldly decisions for selfish reasons! If we serve Yeshua, we will have days of suffering and persecution! But when we are in His will we will always get through!

“For His anger is momentary, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Tears may linger for the night, but with dawn come cries of joy.”
Psalm 30:5 CJB

We may have all kinds of problems that we go through in life, but they never last! When we look to Adonai, He always gets us through to the next morning!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!
