Devotions

“And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, saying, Oh no! The great city! The abundance of her wealth made all the ship owners rich! In a single hour she is ruined!”
Revelation 18:19 CJB

Two things here! First: look at the sadness about losing earthly riches! Throwing dust on your heads is an ancient expression of grief! More grief about worldliness than godliness!

“In their hands are evil schemes; their right hands are full of bribes.”
Psalm 26:10 CJB

Second: when man comes against God as the merchants did! God can and will take it all away in seconds! The warning is be careful of what you worship and don’t put the world above God!

“Do not love the world or the things of the world. If someone loves the world, then love for the Father is not in him; because all the things of the world-the desires of the old nature, the desires the eyes, and pretensions of life-are not from the Father but from the world.”
1 John 2:15-16 CJB

God does a lot of warning about being caught up in the world!

“And the world is passing away, along with its desires, But whoever does God’s will remains forever.”
1 John 2:17 CJB

The world provides all the desires we think we desire! Desires of old nature, desires of the eyes and desires aspirations of life!
What we need is to desire the things of Adonai which will sustain us and save us! We need to pray and get out of God’s way then watch what he will do!
May your day be richly blessed in him!

“They will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are called, chosen and faithful will overcome along with Him.”
Revelation 17:14 CJB

The one and only goal of Satan is to destroy Yeshua and His people, but because Yeshua is God this will be completely unsuccessful! Sadly the Adversary will keep trying until God complete puts him down, which He will do!

“So don’t say, ‘We found wise course-let God defeat him, not a human being.'”
Job 32:13 CJB

Just like the future battle that will happen when God completely defeats the Adversary once and for all! Understand He will defeat the adversaries that we face here and now, often times we just need to get out of the way!

“On the day of my trouble I’m calling on You, for You will answer me.”
Psalm 86:7 CJB

We all have trying times and troubles! Often what we need to do is simply call on God, get out of His way and watch Him work.
May your day be richly blessed seeking Him and watching Him work!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Look! I am coming like a thief! How blessed are those who stay alert and keep their clothes clean, so that they won’t be walking naked and be publicly put to shame!”
Revelation 16:15 CJB

God wants us to be awake, alert and walking uprightly with Him!

“The righteous will surely give thanks to Your name; the upright will live in Your presence.”
Psalm 140:13 CJB

What do we get when we walk uprightly with God? We get to walk in His presence for all eternity and that should be our ultimate goal!

“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

What Adonai requires from us isn’t too complicated! To love justice, love grace, walk humbly and be alert watching for Him to take us home!
May your day be richly blessed seeking Adonai!
Shabbat Shalom!

“They were singing the song of Moshe, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: Great and wonderful are the things you have done, Adonai, God of Heaven’s armies! Just and true are your ways, king of the Nations!”
Revelation 15:3 CJB

The song of Moshe, found in Exodus 15:1-18 and Deuteronomy 32:1-43, praising God for saving the children of Israel! What did the song of Moshe deal with? Rescue and deliverance (rapture).

“But You, God, Adonai, treat me as your name demands; rescue me, because Your grace is good.”
Psalm 109:21 CJB

Yeshua’s name simply means: Yah(God) Shua (Salvation) God is Salvation! He also has perfectly made us for His good pleasure! This is why we need to sing about Salvation like Moshe sang when he and the children were delivered!

“I thank You because I am awesomely made, wonderfully; your works are wonders-I know this very well.”
Psalm 139:14 CJB

Let’s rejoice in the fact that we are wonderfully and awesomely made! Also let’s be grateful for His Salvation!
Have a blessed day rejoicing in Adonai!
