Devotions

“But do test everything-hold onto what is good, but keep away from every form of evil.”
1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 CJB

There is no one good but God! So that is who we should cling to!

“You are to follow Adonai your God, fear Him, obey His mitzvot (commands), listen to what He says, serve Him and cling to Him.”
Deuteronomy 13:5 verse 4 in other translations.

The best thing we can and get to do is cling to God! Why? Because He is good in everything! While we cling to God, we should be wise and flee from anything to do with evil!

“Therefore, submit to God. Moreover, take a stand against the Adversary, and he will flee from you.”
James 4:7 CJB

Today, let’s cling to God. When we cling to Him an interesting thing happens evil (the Adversary) flees from us!
Have a blessed day clinging to Adonai!

“So encorage each other with theses words.”
1 Thessalonians 4:18 CJB

These last few verses are speaking of how the fact is we are all going to die! We can be sad that others have gone before us! Grief is normal, but continued grief for believers shouldn’t be! Why? As believers we should know that one day soon and very soon we will be with Adonai in His Kingdom!
So let’s comfort one another with that glorious news!

“Comfort and keep comforting My people, says your God.”
Isaiah 40:1 CJB

God wants to comfort us, not condemn us! He wants us to have peace not grief! The only way we will find that is in Him!

“I, yes I, am the one who comforts you! Why are you afraid of man, who must die; of a human being, who will wither like grass?”
Isaiah 51:12 CJB

Yes, it’s Adonai who comforts us, not man! Sadly, we tend to seek comfort from the world and all its trappings instead of God! So, as believers, let’s encourage each other in God and His comforting words of Salvation!
Have a blessed day!

“Indeed, how can we thank God enough for you or express to our God all the joy we feel because of you?”
1 Thessalonians 3:9 CJB

What concerns us? Our will and self wants or the well being of others?
What gives us joy? Living for Adonai should give us joy!

“Nothing gives me greater joy than hearing that my children are living in truth.”
3 John 1:4 CJB

We all really need to be living for Adonai and walking in His ways, not getting in His way!

“Put your hope in Adonai, be strong, and let your heart take courage! Yes, put your hope in Adonai!”
Psalm 27:14 CJB

Let’s not be caught up in the evils of the world, but instead let’s be caught up in Adonai and His awesomeness!
May your day be richly blessed!
Shabbat Shalom!

“We were so devoted to you that we were glad to share with you not only God’s Good News but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.”
1 Thessalonians 2:8 CJB

Are we devoted to other believers? Are we excited about the good things that God is doing through them? We should be!

“Human being, you have already been told what is good, what Adonai demands of you-no more than to act justly, love grace and walk in purity with your God.”
Micah 6:8 CJB

God requires us to love and to be honest, loving people. It is always easier than hating!

“Yes, this is the command we have from Him: whoever loves God must love his brother too.”
1 John 4:21 CJB

There is enough hate and anger in the world, so let’s be about loving and sharing the love of God with others!
May your day be richly blessed and filled with opportunities to love!
Shabbat Shalom!
