Devotions

“Adonai Himself scattered them; He will no longer look after them; they had no respect for cohanim and showed no kindness to the leaders.”
Lamentations 4:16 CJB

Two things that we can glean from this! One: God puts Bible teachers in our lives to help guide us! Two: we all have a responsibility to check what they are saying to be true! We need to always be checking and verifying the truth, does it match the Word of God, that is His whole Word, not just the parts we like!

“For the time is coming when people will not have patience for sound teaching, but will cater to their passions and gather around themselves teachers who say whatever their ears itch to hear.”
2 Timothy 4:3 CJB

Honestly, nothing has really changed. People will always refuse to hear truth, especially when it goes against the way they want to live! We just see it happening more frequently and in greater numbers! God’s way is always best, even if our lives feel uncomfortable! We can’t live our way, we must live His way!

“As high as the sky is above the earth are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:9 CJB

Man’s ways can and will never match Gods ways! Gods ways are always full of faith, hope, mercy and grace, based on His truth! Which, when we follow Yeshua, we will always be much better off!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Adonai is good to those waiting for Him, to those who are seeking Him out.”
Lamentations 3:25 CJB

Even though judgment of God can seem harsh, understand His mercy and grace is a thousand times greater! Are we waiting on Adonai?

“Adonai, in the heavens is Your grace; Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.”
Psalm 36:5 CJB

It is really in Adonai that we can see life and light, if we look at our jobs, health and finances we can see a lot of darkness, but in Adonai is forgiveness, light and life!

“For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.”
Psalm 36:9 CJB

In everything we can think or do, we can always find the perfect answer in Adonai!
Have a blessed day calling out to Him!

“Adonai has done what He planned, He has fulfilled His promise, which He decreed in ancient times. He has destroyed without pity, He has let the enemy gloat over you and filled your foes with pride.”
Lamentations 2:17 CJB

This is a pretty bleak verse. It shows that God will not allow us to continue with rejecting His ways! Our sins and disobedience will find us out and God will use whatever means He can to correct us! Why? To get us back on track with Him!

“But if you will not do this, then you have sinned against Adonai, and you must understand that your sin will find you out.”
Numbers 32:23 CJB

The simple fix is to simply repent and correct course! When we call out to God and repent, He forgives!

“He has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.”
Psalm 103:12 CJB

Today, understand two things! One: we can’t get away with sin, God will deal with us! Two: if we repent, God forgives and forgets!
Have a blessed day giving up on sin and giving into God!

“See, Adonai, how distressed I am! Everything in me is churning! My heart turns over inside me, because I have been so rebellious. Outside, the sword brings bereavement; inside, it is like death.”
Lamentations 1:20 CJB

Sin will always leave us sickened, distressed and in bondage! But, repentance will always make us feel relieved and stress free!

“But Adonai is righteous; He cuts me free from the yoke of the wicked.”
Psalm 129:4 CJB

Everything that Adonai does is right, He has given us a way to be free from sin and destruction that can hold us in bondage! We just have to choose the path of life through Yeshua (Jesus)!

“But I will call on God, and Adonai will save me.”
Psalm 55:16 CJB

Always remember God hears us and He saves us! So don’t get caught up in sin, but instead be caught up in Adonai’s salvation!
Have a blessed day!

“He did what was evil from Adonai’s perspective, following the example of everything Y’hoyakim (Jehoiakim) had done.”
Jeremiah 52:2 CJB

God’s perspective should be all that matters. What He thinks and what He says is all we should really care about, not our opinions or other people’s perspectives! We should live by what God says!

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways, says Adonai.”
Isaiah 55:8 CJB

Gods ways are completely perfect and it’s His ways we should desire to live by!

“Trust in Adonai, and do good; settle in the land, and feed on faithfulness.”
Psalm 37:3 CJB

In other words, settle in where God has you and be faithful to Him, knowing He has a perfect plan!

“Then you will delight yourself in Adonai, and He will give you your heart’s desire.”
Psalm 37:4 CJB

When we settle in to the perfect plan of God He grants our hearts desire, because it really is His perfect desire for us!

“Commit your way to Adonai; trust Him, and He will act.”
Psalm 37:5 CJB

Today, don’t get caught up in the bad plans of the world, but settle into God’s perfect perspective’s found in His perfect Word (The Bible).
Have a blessed day in Him!
