“Adonai came and stood, then spoke as the other times: Sh’mu’el (Samuel)! Sh’mu’el! Then Sh’mu’el said, Speak; Your servant is listening.”

1 Samuel 3:10 CJB

How often does the LORD call us and we have too much noise going on around us and we don’t hear or listen?

“The voice of Adonai is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, Adonai over rushing waters, the voice of Adonai in power, the voice of Adonai in splendor.”

Psalm 29:3-4 CJB

The LORD is always speaking and giving us direction, problem is we aren’t listening or we allow the distractions of the world get in the way!

“He said, Go outside, and stand on the mountain before Adonai; and right then and there, Adonai went past. A mighty blast of wind tore the mountains apart and broke the rocks in pieces before Adonai, but Adonai was not in the wind. After the wind came an earthquake, but Adonai was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake, fire broke out; but Adonai was not in the fire. And after the fire came a quiet, subdued voice.”

1 Kings 19:11-12 CJB

In other words, the LORD isn’t in the noise, but in the quiet! So if you’re are not hearing from the LORD, simply just turn off the noise. Have a blessed day listening for the LORD!

Shabbat Shalom.

“No one is as holy as Adonai, because there is none to compare with you, no rock like our God.”

1 Samuel 2:2 CJB

What a true statement. There is nothing bigger, better or more beautiful than the LORD!

“Worship Adonai in holy splendor; tremble before Him, all the earth!”

Psalm 96:9 CJB

Because, our LORD is so amazing, we should worship Him, letting nothing else get in the way! Don’t let life’s situations dictate your day, but look to the LORD for everything.

“I will thank you, Adonai my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify your name forever.”

Psalm 86:12 CJB

Today, no matter how things are going, remember our LORD is amazing! Have a blessed day in the LORD!

“In deep depression (anguish) she prayed to Adonai and cried.”

1 Samuel 1:10 CJB

How’s our prayer life? Do we do a sixty-second prayer and expect great things or do we really go into deep prayer?

“On learning that the document had been signed, Daniel went home. The windows of his upstairs room were open in the direction of Yerushalayim; and there he kneeled down three times a day and prayed, giving thanks before his God, just as he had been doing before.”

Daniel 6:11 CJB

Here we see Daniel is going to be thrown into the lion’s den for his belief in the LORD. He doesn’t run and hide, he opens his windows and prays as he always does!

“May shalom be within your ramparts, prosperity in your palaces.”

Psalm 122:7 CJB

When Daniel is thrown in the lion’s den he isn’t panicking, but instead has peace! Why? He prays, calling on the LORD and Talking to Him about his situations and so should we! Don’t do sixty-second requests, spend some quality time throughout the day with the LORD.

May your day be richly blessed as you spend time in prayer!

“Then the women said to Naomi, Blessed be Adonai, who today has provided you a redeemer! May his name be renowned in Israel.”

Ruth 4:14 CJB

Just like Ruth we have a redeemer and HIs name is Yeshua (JESUS) and He lives!

“But I know that my Redeemer lives, that in the end He will rise on the dust; So that after my skin has been thus destroyed, then even without my flesh, I will see God.”

Job 19:25-26 CJB

When we focus on the LORD, knowing He is going to redeem us one day from the messes of this world, we should rejoice and be blessed (happy).

“Dear friends, we are God’s children now; and it has not yet been made clear what we will become. We do know that when He appears, we will be like Him; because we will see Him as He really is.”

1 John 3:2 CJB

Today, let’s know we are redeemed and make His name known to those around us!

Have a blessed day!

“He said, May Adonai bless you, my daughter. Your latest kindness is even greater than your first, in that you didn’t go after young men, neither the rich ones nor the poor.”

Ruth 3:10 CJB

What a great story we see here. Ruth is humble, kind and wise it’s noticed! The same goes for us. We need to be humble, kind and wise, not boastful and arrogant!

“Humble yourselves before the LORD, and He will lift you up.”

James 4:10 CJB

Our situations will always go better when we are humble, taking the high road in matters and not always trying to be right or first!

“So the last ones will be first and the first last.”

Matthew 20:16 CJB

Today, don’t be in such a rush to be first or even right! Just be humble and let the LORD lift you up!

Have a blessed day!
