Devotions

“When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place-what are mere mortals, that you concern yourself with them; humans, that you watch over them with care?”
Psalm 8:3-4 CJB

No one can actually, with all honesty, look to the heavens and say that just happened by chance! If they do then they are really are just being dishonest! The problem with people today is: they are to busy looking at the things man created, which are puny compared to God’s creation and allow man’s creations distract them from God!

“God made the earth by His power, established the world by His wisdom spread out the sky by His understanding.”
Jeremiah 10:12 CJB

Do we try to make God fit us or do we see how we fit into His creation, His plan and His salvation? Man tries to put God in their world view box, which is completely foolish.

“Adonai, I know that the way of humans is not in their control, humans are not able to direct their steps as they walk.”
Jeremiah 10:23 CJB

Today, we need to be honest about the fact we really don’t know as much as we think we do! What we should know and be sure of is, that God absolutely loves us! Why? Because that is what He created us for! So look to Him and His wondrous creation!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Look how the wicked is pregnant with evil; he conceives trouble, gives birth to lies.”
Psalm 7:14 CJB

We all can look around us and see people seemingly have perfect lives. Living lives that seem privileged, perfect and without problems! We may be jealous and wonder how! The reality is the world can look attractive, but it really is full of evil! It is sadder when we see people who claim to be believers living this way! Don’t be jealous, just live for Adonai. He will deal with the wicked!

“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! If you are doing crooked things it will catch up with you!

“Examine me, Adonai, test me, search my mind and heart.”
Psalm 26:2 CJB

Today, don’t focus on other people and what they do or don’t do, but instead check yourself and ask Adonai to examine you!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your anger, don’t discipline me in the heat of your fury.”
Psalm 6:1 CJB

God is not pleased with the wicked world we see around us, He sees even more than we do! We also need to realize He also sees and hears everything we do and say!

“Be gracious to me, Adonai, because I am withering away; heal me, Adonai, because my bones are shaking.”
Psalm 6:2 CJB

Often times we can focus on other sinners and try to justify or ignore our own sin. Do we point out other people’s wickedness to cover our own? We really need to take a good hard look at ourselves and repent! The cool thing is God hears and forgives!

“He has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.”
Psalm 103:12 CJB

Today, know that God sees our faults just as He can see the faults of the world! We just need to acknowledge them and He is faithful and just to forgive!
May your day be filled with His blessings!

“Adonai, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I lay my needs before You and wait expectantly.”
Psalm 5:3 CJB

One of the most amazing things we get to do is wake up and lay out our daily needs, not wants, but needs unto Adonai! The cooler thing is He will answers us!

“When you seek Me, you will find Me, provided you seek Me wholeheartedly.”
Jeremiah 29:13 CJB

In Psalm 4:4 we saw that we can be angry, but don’t dwell on it before you sleep. In fact, calm down and let it go! Now we see when we wake we need to seek Adonai with total expectancy for Him to answer!

“Since You are my rock and fortress, lead me and guide me for Your name’s sake.”
Psalm 31:3 CJB

Today, seek God early, wait expectantly for an answer and walk in the confidence that Adonai will answer you! Also don’t let the junk of the day before hinder the new day in Adonai!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

“You can be angry, but don’t sin! Think about this as you lie in bed, and calm down.”
Psalm 4:4 CJB

This is quoted by the apostle Paul in Ephesians 4:26! The idea here is, it is ok to be angry, but don’t let it consume you! Don’t play out scenarios in your head on how to deal with the thing or person you are angry with! Just calm down and let it go, before it turns to sin!

“But I tell you that anyone who nurses anger against his brother will be subject to judgment; that whoever calls his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing!’ will be brought before the Sanhedrin; that whoever says, ‘Fool!’ incurs the penalty of burning in the fire of Gei-Hinnom!”
Matthew 5:22 CJB

Even Yeshua warns us of how anger can turn into murder within our hearts, which is sin! We all need to watch out for anger and jealousy that festers in our hearts! We all need to let things go. The world is seriously stressed out. We don’t need to add to it!

“I will lie down and sleep in peace; for, Adonai, you alone make me live securely.”
Psalm 4:8 CJB

We all need to really seek Adonai in every situation, for it is He who will give us peace! Today, don’t fester on situations and scenarios that keep you up at night, but instead focus on Adonai!
Have a blessed day in Him!
