“I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will end the arrogance of the proud and humble the insolence of tyrants.”
Isaiah 13:11 CJB

Adonai is going to deal with all the evils of the world, so we don’t need to worry or get distressed! What we get to do is watch, pray and share about His Salvation!

“Come, let’s sing to Adonai! Let’s shout for joy to the Rock of our Salvation!”
Psalm 95:1 CJB

Calling on, praising and sharing about Adonai is what we are called to do! Adonai is going to completely and righteously deal with all things!

“But don’t forget doing good and sharing with others, for with such sacrifice God is well pleased.”
Hebrews 13:16 CJB

Today, even as the world is falling apart and falling deeper into sin, we don’t need to worry. God is going to deal with all. What we need to do is shine for Him!
May your day be richly blessed!

“On that day you will say, Give thanks to Adonai! Call on His name! Make His deeds known among the peoples, declare how exalted is His name.”
Isaiah 12:4 CJB

This is talking about the day of Adonai coming for His people and in His kingdom, but we can sing and give thanks to Him now, sharing His amazing deeds with people today!

“Sing to Adonai, all the earth! Proclaim His victory day after day!”
1 Chronicles 16:23 CJB

We see living here on earth is full of pain and misery, but if you are living for Adonai, and He can and does bring us joy!

“So I give thanks to You, Adonai, among the nations; I sing praises to Your name.”
Psalm 18:50 CJB

Today, let’s not look at the messed up world, but instead to the joys of Adonai!
Have a blessed day!

“Justice will be the belt around His waist, faithfulness the sash around His hips.”
Isaiah 11:5 CJB

What girds the reign of Adonai is righteousness and faithfulness! No one will ever look to Adonai and say He wasn’t just or righteous!

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

One day all the world and it’s wickedness will be judged and no one will complain! Every man, woman and child will agree that God is altogether righteous! So no matter what injustices we see today, God will make all things right!

“In the name of Myself I have sworn, from My mouth has rightly gone out, a word that will not return-that to Me every knee will bow and every tongue will swear about Me that only in Adonai are justice and strength. All who rage against Him will come to Him ashamed, but all the descendants of Israel will find justice and glory in Adonai.”
Isaiah 45:23-25 CJB

Today, even as we believers confess Yeshua as our Saviour, so will all the unbelieving world! What we need to do is shine ever so bright for Him so we can attract more people to Him!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“On that day the remnant of Israel, those of the house of Ya’akov who escaped, will no longer rely on the man who struck them down, but will truly rely on Adonai, the Holy One of Israel.”
Isaiah 10:20 CJB

There is coming a day soon and very soon I believe where people will not rely on man for their needs but will rely on God Himself! What a glorious day that will be when every knee bows and every tongue confesses!

“I have been young; now I am old; yet not once have I seen the righteous abandoned or His descendants begging for bread.”
Psalm 37:25 CJB

We may have many trials and troubles in life, but Adonai always supplies all our needs! As believers in Adonai we get to trust Him for everything here and now!

“Adonai is the one who saves the righteous; He is their stronghold in time of trouble.”
Psalm 37:39 CJB

Today, realize even if we fall into trouble and distress, our LORD will always see us through!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Therefore Adonai will cut off Israel’s head and tail, [tall] palm frond and [lowly] reed in a single day. The old and the honored are the head, while prophets teaching lies are the tail. For those leading this people lead them astray, and those led by them are destroyed.”
Isaiah 9:13-15 CJB 14-16 in other translations

This was happening in Israel 2500 years ago, where God allowed the leaders of the nation to just lead without the true instruction of God! What happened to Israel? They went into seventy years of captivity! We need to be careful of the same as we have the same type of leaders today!

“Before I was humbled, I used to go astray; but now I observe Your word.”
Psalm 119:67 CJB

Ask yourself how long will we continue in disobedience either personally or corporately before God allows captivity or humbling? The best thing we can do is call on Adonai and ask Him if there is anything that needs to be changed!

“Create in me a clean heart, God; renew in me a resolute spirit.”
Psalm 51:12 CJB verse 10 in other translations.

What a great prayer for us to have is to have a clean heart and a resolute spirit! The meaning of resolute is pretty amazing (purposeful, determined and unwavering)! Is this our spirit and heart? If not we can have it by simply calling on Adonai to create in us a clean and renewed spirit!
Have a blessed day!
