“For what hope does the godless have from his gain when God takes away his life?”
Job 27:8 CJB

The godless person has nothing when he or she breathes their last breath! All our hope is in Yeshua (Jesus) the God of our salvation! So no matter how much we gain on earth, we can’t take it with us when we breathe our last breath here!

“I am teaching you how God uses His power, not hiding what Shaddai (The Almighty) is doing. Look, you all can see for yourselves; so why are you talking such empty nonsense?”
Job 27:11-12 CJB

In other words we can see the sun, moon and stars and all the things in creation that God isn’t hiding! Everyone can see the Almighty’s creation, unfortunately we hear a bunch of useless noise, empty nonsense going on around us!

“For Adonai is great, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared more than all gods.”

Today, with all the useless nonsense going on in the world around us, realize it’s all a bunch of useless noise! So let’s shut off the world and turn on the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!

There is nothing covered up before the LORD and everything is naked before Him! God knows all and sees all!

“He stretches the north over chaos and suspends the earth on nothing.”
Job 26:7 CJB

Our LORD is so amazing in all He does, even with how He hangs the earth on nothing! So understand there is nothing we can confess that He can’t forgive! Also there is no situation that we are in that He can’t take care of!

“He will again have compassion on us, He will subdue our iniquities. You will throw all their sins into the depths of the sea.”

Knowing we can’t hide anything from the LORD, let’s also know there is nothing that He can’t forgive! Be encouraged today that the LORD hears our confessions and forgives us of all our sins!
Have a blessed day knowing the LORD forgives!

“May my teaching fall like rain. May my speech condense like dew, like light rain on blades of grass, or showers on growing plants. For I will proclaim the name of Adonai. Come, declare the greatness of our God.”

This is what we get to do; share, proclaim and speak about the LORD and share His word!

“Sing praises to Adonai, who lives in Tziyon; proclaim His deeds among the peoples.”
Psalm 9:11 CJB

No matter what is going on around us, we get to share the Good News of the LORD’S salvation! It’s what the dark world around us really needs!

“Yes, you will go out with joy, you will be led forth in peace. As you come, the mountains and hills will burst out into song, and all the trees in the countryside will clap their hands.”

May your day be filled with His joy!

Why, before Him even the moon lacks brightness, and the stars themselves are not pure.”

May our day be richly blessed in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!

“However, even if God lets them rest in safety, His eyes are on their ways.”
Job 24:23 CJB

We can often feel like we are being punished, while evil people get away with everything, living comfortably and our life is upside-down! Why do the wicked get rest? Know this, the LORD has His eyes on them!

“They are exalted for a little while; and then they are gone, brought low, gathered in all others, shriveled up like ears of grain.”

May our day be richly blessed in Him!
