Devotions

“Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the people of Israel continued with all their travels. But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not travel onward until the day when it was taken up.”
Exodus 40:36-37 CJB

What we see here is God showing the children of Israel when they should go and when they should stay! Often times we stay longer than we should or leave quicker than we are supposed to! We also can talk more than we should or not say enough, we need to be more tuned into Adonai and His directions!

“For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.”
Psalm 36:9 CJB

The word of God is the best director we have to hear the voice of Adonai, it’s the cloud that gives us shade and it’s the fire that gives us light! Adonai is who we need to hear and His word is the main way He speaks to us!

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

Today, more than ever, we need the shade and light of God’s word! We need it to tell us when to go and when to stay! God has an answer and a direction to guide us each and everyday, we just have to dig in!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom

“The people of Israel did all the work just as Adonai had ordered Moshe.”
Exodus 39:42 CJB

We need to do the same, do what Adonai instructs us to do, which is simple! Go out and share the Good News of Salvation!

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

The reality is sharing the glorious news of Salvation really is easy and not burdensome. It’s something we all get to do!

“Then He said to them, As you go throughout the world, proclaim the Good News to all creation.”
Mark 16:15 CJB

Today, let’s do what Adonai has instructed us to do! Share, preach and proclaim the Good News of Salvation!
May your day be blessed in Him!

“The Menorah and its utensils were made of sixty-six pounds of pure gold.”
Exodus 37:24 CJB

Like the menorah, the Bible is sixty-six books of pure gold. This verse reminds me of the gold we have in the Bible!

“Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word appropriately spoken.”
Proverbs 25:11 CJB

The word of God is the best thing we can have in our lives and I so love verses that remind me of that!

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

Today, if you feeling a little down, out of place or need some direction, just dig into the gold that we find in these sixty-six books of the Bible!
May your day be richly blessed!

“Moshe summoned B’tzal’el, Oholi’av and every craftsmen to whom Adonai had given wisdom, everyone whose heart stirred him, to come and take part in the work.”
Exodus 36:2 CJB

Adonai has given us all wisdom and skills He desires all of us to take part in the work for the kingdom! He wants us to participate, He wants us to serve and He stirs our hearts!

“Serve Adonai with gladness. Enter His presence with joyful songs.”
Psalm 100:2 CJB

God doesn’t only want us to serve, He wants us to be joyful while doing it! Serving Adonai isn’t burdensom it really should be a joy!

“Yes, you will go out with joy, you will be led forth in peace. As you come, the mountains and the hills will burst out into song, and all the trees in the countryside will clap their hands.”
Isaiah 55:12 CJB

Today, remember when we have joy in what we are doing, people notice and we become a better witness of Adonai!
Have a blessed day serving Adonai!

“Moshe assembled the whole community of the people of Israel and said to them, These are the things which Adonai has ordered you to do.”
Exodus 35:1 CJB

God really does give us a lot of direction on what we need to do! In fact His direction is not difficult!

“Human being, you have already been told what is good, what Adonai demands of you-no more than to act justly, love grace and walk in purity with your God.”
Micah 6:8 CJB

These are pretty simple instructions to follow love justice, grace and walk uprightly!

“This is my command: that you keep loving each other just as I have loved you. No one has greater love than a person who lays down his life for his friends.”
John 15:12-13 CJB

Today, if we follow the commands of Adonai, we will find He is a loving God who wants us to spread that love!
Have a blessed day in Him!
