Devotions

“Adonai asked the Adversary, Where are you coming from? The Adversary answered Adonai, From roaming through the earth, wandering here and there.”
Job 1:7 CJB

This shows that Satan is always moving about causing destruction! He roams around deceiving, so be alert!

“Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
1 Peter 5:8 CJB

The point here is that we are always to be on guard and watching and praying about all situations!

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

So let’s be on guard, be in the word and pray about all things.
Have a blessed day!

“King Achashverosh laid tribute on the land, the coast and the islands.”
Esther 10:1 CJB

Who and what do we give our tribute to? God or the world!

“But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to give so willingly in this way? For all things come from You, so that we have given You what is already Yours.”
1 Chronicles 29:14 CJB

The answer is we are really nothing, but when we give to God even the smallest of things out of our hearts, He will honor it and bless it! Understand we are just passing through, so store up treasure in Heaven, because you can’t take it with you!

“For in your presence we are temporary residents, just passing through, as all our ancestor were-our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope”
1 Chronicles 29:15 CJB

So let’s realize our hope and future is in Adonai! So let’s spread that good news with those around us as we walk-in this strong land!
Have a blessed day in Adonai

“All the officials of the provinces, the army commanders, the governors and those occupied with the king’s affairs helped the Jews; because they were afraid of Mordekhai.”
Esther 9:3 CJB

Whose side are you on, the side of God and His people or the enemy and his people?

“What, then, are we to say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
The world will come at you, but God will prevail!”
Romans 8:31 CJB

When we are on the side of God and His people we will have perfect success! We really need to focus on God and HIs Word to know where He stands!

“They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you,” says Adonai, “to rescue you.”
Jeremiah 1:19 CJB

The pagan world will come at you! Why? Because it hates you, the good news is God loves you!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. “
John 3:16 CJB

Have a blessed day knowing God loves you, so walk in His ways today!

“For how can I bear to see the disaster that will overcome my people? How can I endure seeing the extermination of my kinsman?”
Esther 8:6 CJB

Ask the same question today, how can we, as believers, sit back and watch the extermination of other believers?

“Bear one another’s burdens-in this way you will be fulfilling the Torah’s true meaning, which the Messiah upholds.”
Galatians 6:1 CJB

We are called to lift each other up in prayer and in action!

“Therefore, openly acknowledge your sins to one another, and pray for each other, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
James 5:16 CJB

One of the best ways to keep the enemy from messing with us is to be open and honest! Just tell the truth and pray for each other!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“King Achashverosh asked Esther the queen, Who is he? Where is the man who dared to do such a thing?”
Esther 7:5 CJB

We don’t have to look for anti-semites or haters of God and His people! They are everywhere and are very vocal about what they believe! We shouldn’t be surprised either God has warned us!

“At that time you will be arrested and handed over to be punished and put to death, and all peoples will hate you because of Me.”
Matthew 24:9 CJB

The closer we get to the end, the more we will be persecuted! We also have to ask who hates you, the people that hate you are very loud and vocal about their hatred. Just turn on the news, listen to politicians and hear what is being said on college campuses!

“Dear friends, don’t regard as strange the fiery ordeal occurring among you to test you, as if something extraordinary were happening to you.”
1 Peter 4:12 CJB

Yes, things are getting bad and will only get worse! Do we whine and complain? No! Remember God has got it all covered!

“I have said these things to you so that, united with Me, you may have shalom. In the world, you have tsuris (tribulation). But be brave! I have conquered the world!”
John 16:33 CJB

So don’t panic, but instead unite yourself with Adonai and rest in His shalom!
Have a peaceful day in Yeshua!
Shabbat Shalom!
