Devotions

“Yes, the plunderer has fallen upon her, fallen on Bavel (Babylon). Her warriors are captured, their bows are broken. For Adonai is a God of retribution; He will surely repay.”
Jeremiah 51:56 CJB

Understand, God isn’t a wimpy “I’ll let you do anything you want” God! He is a God who will not allow unrighteousness to continue! He will judge!

“God is a righteous judge, a God whose anger is present everyday.”
Psalm 7:11 CJB

We can look around and see people seemingly getting away with everything and anything, but they are not! God will deal with them!

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

God knows all and sees all, so no one is getting away with anything.

“He will judge the world in righteousness; He will judge the peoples fairly.”
Psalm 9:8 CJB

Today, we need not worry about unrighteous people getting away with things! Realize God is going to deal with it in His perfect timing!
Have a blessed day knowing all things will be alright!

“My people have been lost sheep. My shepherds made them go astray, turning them loose in the mountains. As they wandered from mountain to hill, they lost track of where their home is.”
Jeremiah 50:6 CJB

Just like the children of Israel, we belong to God and we too are like lost sheep! God is always near to anyone who calls on Him and He is always ready to forgive! So know if you are lost and wandering around, just call out to Adonai for help!

“Adonai is near those with broken hearts; He saves those whose spirit is crushed.”
Psalm 34:18 CJB

Calling on Adonai isn’t just to fix our messes, we should be calling on Him all the time to stay out of messes!

“When you call to Me and pray to Me, I will listen to you.”
Jeremiah 29:12 CJB

Realize the more we call on Adonai and get into His Word, the more we will desire to do things His way, not ours!
Have a blessed day following Adonai!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Adonai-Tzva’ot (LORD of Hosts) says: ‘I will break ‘Eilam’s bow, the mainstay of their might.”
Jeremiah 49:35 CJB

The Elamites were skilled archers, so what God is saying here is no matter how much skill we have, it is still no match for Him! We will always be better off walking with Him and in His ways!

“Only take great care to obey the mitzvah (commandments) and the Torah (instruction) which Moshe the servant of Adonai gave you-to love Adonai your God, follow all His ways, observe His mitzvot, cling to Him, and serve Him with all your heart and being.”
Joshua 22:5 CJB

No matter where we are, in a good environment or a bad one, we will always do well following and keeping the ways of Adonai!

“I treasure Your Word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against You.”
Psalm 119:11 CJB

Understand, when we walk with Adonai and in His ways, we will always be better off! Life is full of many ups and downs, but with Adonai we will always be better off!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Because you trust in your deeds and your wealth, you too will be captured. Together with his priests and princes, K’mosh will go into exile.”
Jeremiah 48:7 CJB

What a warning, which also is relevant for us today! What do we trust in? Anything other than God is useless! At the end of the day, your gold, health or political leaders are not going to save you! Only God can!

“If it seems bad to you to serve Adonai, then choose today whom you are going to serve! Will it be the gods your ancestors served beyond the River? or the gods of the Emori in whose land you are living? As for me and my household, we will serve Adonai!”
Joshua 24:15 CJB

K’mosh or Chemosh was the leading god in Moab, another statue made by human hands with no power at all, just like every other false god! We have the same gods today: health, wealth and politics, which will all lead you astray! We all need to heed the warnings here in the Word of God! Trust only in Him!

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we praise the name of Adonai our God.”
Psalm 20:7 CJB

Today, don’t put your trust in anything but Adonai!
Have a blessed day following Him!
