Devotions

“There is a river whose streams gladden the city of God, the holy habitation of`Elyon (Most High).”
Psalm 46:4 CJB

Some people say this is symbolic! I agree with J. Vernon Mcgee on this one! I believe this river speaks of the refreshing Word of God also!

“Their delight is in Adonai’s Torah (Instruction or Word) they meditate day and night. They are like trees planted by streams -they bear their fruit in season, their leaves never wither, everything they do succeeds.”
Psalm 1:2-3 CJB

Do we delight in the refreshing Word of God or do we delight in the evil word of man? If you want to succeed and be refreshed, be in the Word of God!

“Next the angel showed me the river of water of life, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb.”
Revelation 22:1 CJB

Today, with all the crazy, evil things happening around us, we need refreshment that can only be found in the Word of God!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

“You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy in preference to your companions.”
Psalm 45:7 CJB

God loves righteousness and He really hates wickedness and He will deal with it! So when we see wickedness in the world, we just need to trust that God will deal with it as He always does!

“Now Korach the son of Yitz’har, the son of K’hat, the son of Levi, along with Natan and Avram, the sons of Eli’s, and On, the son of Pelet, descendants of Reuben, took men and rebelled against Moshe. Siding with them were 250 men of Israel, leaders of the community, key members of the council, men of reputation.”
Numbers 16:1-2 CJB

Here we see this group of people rebelling against Moses, who represents God! By the end of chapter 16, we see God deal with them! The same goes in our day and age!

“Then fire came out from Adonai and destroyed the 250 men who had offered the incense.”
Numbers 16:35 CJB

God is never mocked and evil never gets away with anything! So don’t get upset with the things we see happening around us today! We just need to walk in the righteousness of God!

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

Today, let’s spend more time looking to God than being upset with the world and its foolishness!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“We will boast in our God all day and give thanks to Your name forever.”
Psalm 44:8 CJB

The world around us can be gloomy; finances, rumors of war and seeing a double standard in society to name just a few things! The cure is and will always be Adonai and His salvation! So let’s praise Him!

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

When we are looking to God and praising Him, all our difficulties always seem to just fade away! He saves us from our enemies no matter what they are!

“I will praise Adonai as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God all my life.”
Psalm 146:2 CJB

Today, instead of complaining, let’s simply just praise Adonai in everything! Why? Because we will be doing it for all eternity, so let’s start now!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Send out Your light and Your truth; let them be my guide; let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the places where you live.”
Psalm 43:3 CJB

This should be our prayer also for God to guide us by His light and truth! The best way to find that light and truth is to be in His word!

“Your word is a lamp for my foot and light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105 CJB

What a blessing to know that no matter how dark it may be, we have a perfect light in Yeshua!

“Yeshua spoke to them again; I am the light of the world; whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light which gives life.”
John 8:12 CJB

This should comfort us as we go through our day, knowing we are guided by God Himself!

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

Today, let’s rejoice and be glad that we have the King of kings guiding us through life!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

“My soul, why are you so downcast? Why are you moaning inside me? Hope in God, since I will praise Him for being my Savior and God.”
Psalm 42:11 CJB

In other words, we all can feel downcast and groaning inside! But Yeshua being our Savior and God should simply just lead us to praising Him for all the good He does!

“Therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name.”
1 Chronicles 29:13 CJB

As believers in Yeshua, we need to live life with the hope of heaven and not be downcast with the messes of this world!

“For I know what plans I have in mind for you, says Adonai, plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 CJB

Today, don’t be grieved by the ungodly things going down in the world, but instead be encouraged about the beautiful future we have in Adonai!
Have a blessed day!
