“And here is what you are to tell the people: Adonai says: Look! I am presenting you with the way of life and the way of death.”
Jeremiah 21:8 CJB

God gives us the same directions today, He gives us a way of life through Him and a way of death by doing our own thing!

“For Your grace is there before my eyes, and I live my life by your truth.”
Psalm 26:3 CJB

Do we live our lives according to the truths of God found in His word?

“Yeshua said, I AM the Way-and the Truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6 CJB

We all have a choice in life to live by God and His truths or the world and its lies!
Today, let’s choose God!
Have a blessed day looking to Adonai and His life—giving ways!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Sing to Adonai! Praise Adonai! For He rescues those in need from the clutches of evildoers.”
Jeremiah 20:13 CJB

Even though Jeremiah is going through some rough times and really even hates being born, he still praises Adonai! When we go through troubled times, we also need to find time to praise Adonai! Why? Because He is our only hope!

“For thus says the High, Exalted One who lives forever, whose name is Holy: I live in the high and holy place, but also with the broken and humble, in order to revive the spirit of the humble and revive the hearts of the broken ones.”
Isaiah 57:15 CJB

Even when we are going through trying times of life with health problems, financial problems and even persecution, God is always near!

“Then my tongue will tell of Your righteousness and praise You all day long.”
Psalm 35:28 CJB

No matter what may be going on in our lives, good or bad, when we praise Adonai, speaking of His righteousness and place all our hope in Him. Our day will always be exceedingly better!
May your day be be richly blessed in Adonai!

“Say: ‘Hear the Word of Adonai, kings of Y’hudah and inhabitants of Yerushalayim! This is what Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Israel, says: I am about to bring disaster on this place that will make ears of whoever hears about it ring.”
Jeremiah 19:3 CJB

This warning really goes to us also! We can’t live like heathens and be part of evil worldly practices and expect God to turn a blind eye! Disaster for the unrepentant world is coming!

“Adonai looks out from Heaven; He sees every human being.”
Psalm 33:13 CJB

God knows all and sees all, nothing gets by Him!

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

So if we are doing bad things or good things, we will reap either one! The beautiful thing, even when we blow it, we can call on God and He forgives! But when we deny God, we get what we deserve!

“When I acknowledge my sin to You, when I stopped concealing my guilt, and said, I will confess my offenses to Adonai; then You, You forgave the guilt of my sin.”
Psalm 32:5 CJB

Today, realize we can’t get away with anything, but because God is gracious that when we repent, He forgives!
Have a blessed day calling on Adonai!

“No, but my people have forgotten Me and offer incense to nothings. This cause them to stumble as they walk the ancient paths; they leave the highway to walk on side-trails.”
Jeremiah 18:15 CJB

Do we forget God? Do we try to walk on our own paths instead of the tried and true and paths of Adonai! Life is and can be difficult, but the tried and true paths of Adonai will always get us through!

“Here is what Adonai says: Stand at the crossroads and look; ask about the ancient paths, ‘Which one is the good way?’ Take it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not take it.'”
Jeremiah 6:16 CJB

Here is the deal: when we are on the crossroads of life, wondering what to do, don’t look for some new way, but look to the old ways of God that are proven and true!

“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

The ways of man will always fail and let you down, but the ways of God will never fail, so let’s walk in them!
Have a blessed day!

“They keep asking me, Where is the Word of Adonai? Let it come now.”
Jeremiah 17:15 CJB

This is the same question snarky unbelievers ask: where is God and His soon return? Sadly, some believers ask the same thing, believing that God will not come and set the world straight and take His children home with Him! Be very careful of this mind-set!

“But I know that my Redeemer lives, that in the end He will rise on the dust; so that after my skin has been thus destroyed, then even without my flesh, I will see God.”
Job 19:25-26 CJB

We, as believers, should know and be comforted that God will one day call us home to be with Him! Knowing this, don’t get upset when we are being made fun of about it! Just keep sharing, knowing the truth that God is coming!

“Don’t let yourself be disturbed. Trust in God and trust in Me. In My fathers house are many places to live. If there weren’t, I would have told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you. Since I am going and preparing a place for you, I will return to take you with Me; so that where I am, you may be also.”
John 14:1-3 CJB

Today, know that there are many disturbing things going on around us and there will always be deniers of God’s return to get us! Just keep watching and praying for Yeshua to come and share that truth with others!
Have a blessed day in Him!
