“Stiffnecked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You continually oppose the Reach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit)! You do the same things your fathers did!”
Acts 7:51 CJB

Stiffnecked is used several times in Exodus and Deuteronomy, with the meaning of why do you defy God at every turn? God has given us directions to follow His ways, not making up our own. That’s being stiff-necked!

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

Often times we can make following God hard, but honestly it’s not!

“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

Let’s not make walking with God and His ways difficult, when we try to do things our own way it always turns to disaster! But when we walk in His ways life will always be easier!
Have a blessed day doing things God’s way!

“Now Stephen, full of grace and power, performed great miracles and signs among the people.”
Acts 6:8 CJB

How can we be filled with such grace and power? By spending time with Yeshua and studying then applying His Word to our lives!

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

The more time we are in the Word of God the more we will reflect His grace and power!

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

Understand, when we spend time with God and do what He instructs us to do, then amazing things happen that only God can get the glory for!
Have a blessed day spending time with God and reflecting His glorious light!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Kefa (Peter) and the other emissaries answered, We must obey God, not men.”
Acts 5:29 CJB

Who do you obey? Peter blew it with Yeshua in the garden, but now realizes that nothing can touch Him when he obeys God and not man! We need to do the same!

“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 CJB verse 4 in other translations.

The best thing we can do in life is cling to Adonai, knowing He has a firm grip on us! Totally not worrying about what man has to say or do!

“For I know what plans I have in mind for you,’says Adonai,’plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 CJB

God, has a complete and perfect plan for us that is filled with hope!
So let’s cling to Him and not worry about what man can or can’t do to us!
Have a blessed day obeying God!
Shabbat Shalom!

“There is salvation in no one else! For there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by whom we must be saved!”
Acts 4:12 CJB

We can’t find salvation, peace or even real hope in anything but God! He alone can and does save mankind, we just need to repent and believe!

“Don’t put your trust in princes or in mortals, who cannot help.”
Psalm 146:3 CJB

Understand all the help you can get from man will never last! You will always get into trouble when you put your trust in men who really are powerless!

“When they breathe their last, they return to dust; on that very day all their plans are gone.”
Psalm 146:4 CJB

All men will one day breathe their last breath on earth and when they do, so will all their plans, ambitions and agendas! They all will come to and end, but in Adonai we have hope, Salvation and life eternal!
Have a blessed day trusting in Adonai!
