Devotions

“Don’t be afraid of the king of Babel-of whom you are afraid. Don’t be afraid of him,’says Adonai, ‘for I am with you to save you and to rescue you from his power.”
Jeremiah 42:11 CJB

In other words, don’t be afraid of the government. Especially in this day when we worry about taxes and government control! Instead trust in Adonai!

“Trust in Adonai with all your heart; do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him; then He will level your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 CJB

We put our trust in so many things that, in the end, really can’t help us! But when we trust and acknowledge God, all things really do seem to work out!

“If I raise my eyes to the hills, from where will my help come? My help comes from Adonai, the maker of Heaven and Earth.”
Psalm 121:1-2 CJB

Yes, all our help comes from Adonai. Anything that is good comes from Him! So let’s trust God and look to Him for all our needs!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“And they left there to stay at Kimham’s Lodge, near Beit-Lechem, intending to go on to Egypt.”
Jeremiah 41:17 CJB

We all need to be careful when things get tough, not to run to the world! This is what these guys are doing. Things got sticky and they are off to Egypt! We need to run to Adonai at the first sign of trouble!

“I call on Adonai, who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies.”
2 Samuel 22:4 CJB

Just like David, who knew a thing or two about trials and the world falling apart around him! He knew whom He could call on and go to to save Him!

“But I will call on God, and Adonai will save me.”
Psalm 55:9 CJB

Life can be hard and full of trials. The best place we can go for help is to Adonai. It’s actually the only place!
May your day be richly blessed, calling on Adonai!

“The commander of the guard took Yirmeyahu and said to him, Adonai your God decreed this disaster for this place, and Adonai has brought it about; He has done what He said He would do, because you people sinned against Adonai and did not listen to what He said; that is why this has come upon you.”
Jeremiah 40:2-3 CJB

Even the pagan captain here understands that God said what He would do to Judah, because of their disobedience! Understand, God means what He says and says what He means! If you love God, then just obey what He says!

“If you love Me, you will keep My commands.”
John 14:15 CJB

When we love someone, we will listen to them and try to make them happy by doing what they say. So if we love Adonai, we really should be striving to do what He says!

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

The commands of Adonai are not a burden, but to help us walk on His right path and to do things His way, not ours! Remember, His ways keep us out of messes, our ways get us into messes!
Have a blessed day following Him!

“Yes, I will keep you safe; you will not fall by the sword, but you will escape with your life, because you have put trust in Me, says Adonai.”
Jeremiah 39:18 CJB

God will always get us through! All we need to do is trust!

“For we live by trust, not what we see.”
2 Corinthians 5:7 CJB

Unfortunately we get so caught up in what we can see first, then to just simply trust and believe! Not a lot of faith in seeing first! Let’s just trust without seeing. That is what Father Abraham did when God called him to go to a place I will show you!

“Now Adonai said Avram, get yourself out of your country, away from your kinsmen and away from your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.”
Genesis 12:1 CJB

Like Abraham, we need to step out in faith! Even when it doesn’t make sense, we just need to trust Adonai will get us through!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“”Yirmeyahu answered, They won’t hand you over. I beg you, listen to the voice of Adonai concerning what I’m telling you about; then it will go well with you, and you will live.”
Jeremiah 38:20 CJB

Here is a big truth: if we will simply listen to Adonai and do things His way, we will have a joyful life! That is a joy–filled life with Him! There are far too many people out there trying to slam a square peg in a round hole, instead of just simply following Adonai!

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

We will never find peace when we are walking outside of the will of God! We need to stop trying to do things in our own way!

“Desist, and learn that I am God, supreme over the nations, supreme over the earth.”
Psalm 46:10 CJB

So stop hanging onto the world and its troubles, but instead desist, drop it and just let it go! Today, allow Adonai to take full control of your life!
Have a blessed day in Him!
