Devotions

“In Messiah He chose us in love before the creation of the universe to be holy without defect in His presence.”
Ephesians 1:4 CJB

This still amazes me that the creator of the Universe not only made us, but chooses us to be His Royal Priesthood!

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

Adonai, has perfectly and wonderfully made us to worship Him, to glorify Him and to proclaim His Good News of Salvation! So let’s do it!

“But you are a chosen people, the King’s cohanim, a holy nation, a people for God to possess! Why? In order for you to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”
1 Peter 2:9 CJB

We always need to be reminded of this: God has chosen us out of the world to be His representatives to the world! So let’s declare His glorious news of Salvation with all we come in contact with!
May your day be richly blessed!

“So let each of you scrutinize his own actions. Then if you do find something to boast about, at least the boasting will be based on what you have actually done and not merely on a judgment that you are better than someone else; for each person will carry his own load.”
Galatians 6:4-5 CJB

The only boasting we should do is boast about what God has done in your life! The only scrutinizing we should do is what is in our own lives! We are all responsible for our own walks!

“Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows.”
Galatians 6:7 CJB

Not only should we scrutinize what we do, we need to be careful what we sow! Be very mindful of what we say and do!

“Your word is a lamp for my foot and light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105 CJB

The more we are in the Word of God and do what it says the less we will have to scrutinize our behavior!
May your day be richly blessed!

“What I am saying is this: run your lives by the Spirit. Then you will not do what your old nature wants.”
Galatians 5:16 CJB

If we are doing what the Spirit of God says through His word, then we won’t be doing what our old sinful nature tells us!

“Since it is through the Spirit that we have life, let it also be through the Spirit that we order our lives day by day.”
Galatians 5:25 CJB

Nothing can give us life better than the Spirit of God! It’s not politics, jobs or any other thing! God through His Spirit is the only thing that can give us life!

“It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh is no help. The words I have spoken to you are the Spirit and Life.”
John 6:3 CJB

Understand the world only gives misery, but when we fill our lives with His Spirit we can have joy!
Have a blessed day!

“So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if you are a son you are also an heir.”
Galatians 4:7

What great and encouraging words to know we aren’t slaves, but heirs to the living God!

“But you are a chosen people, the King’s cohanim, a holy nation, a people for God to possess! Why? In order for you to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.” Peter 2:9 CJB

We always need to be reminded of this: God has chosen us out of the world to be His representatives to the world! His lights!

“In the same way, let your lights shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in Heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 CJB

Realize, we live in a dark world, but God has chosen us out of it and calls us to be His glorious light! Why? Because we are His heirs in His Kingdom!
So let’s proclaim His Good News of Salvation today!

“You stupid Galatians! Who has put under a spell? Before your very eyes Yeshua the Messiah was clearly portrayed as having been put to death as a criminal!”
Galatians 3:1 CJB

What a really harsh thing to say: “You stupid people.” Shaul is saying God saved you and set you free, so why are you confused and follow things that man interacted you to follow and not simply just follow God? Adonai has made Salvation easy: confess, believe and trust!

“For loving God means obeying his commands. Moreover, His commands are not burdensome.”
1 John 5:3 CJB

We really need to hear from Adonai and do what He says, just simply follow Him!

“Indeed, just as the body without spirit is dead, so too faith without action is dead.”
James 2:26 CJB

We all have decisions to make on a daily basis and we need to just trust Adonai, He will get us through and don’t be sidetracked with stupid stuff!
Have a blessed day trusting Adonai
