Devotions

“On the seventh day God was finished with His work which He had made, so He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.”
Genesis 2:2 CJB

Did God need to rest? No! Everything Adonai does is to give us an example to follow and how to live His way. He created us knowing we need a day of rest!

“Then He said to them, Sabbath was made for mankind, not mankind for Shabbat; So the Son of Man is LORD even of Shabbat.”
Mark 2:27 CJB

The LORD wants us to have a Sabbath day not to burden us, but instead to free us from our normal activities and to have a special day of rest in Him.

“My soul, return to Your rest! For Adonai has been generous toward you.”
Psalm 116:7 CJB

Today, with all the insanity going on around us, we now, more than ever, need to take a break and there is no better way than taking a day to spend with the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Genesis 1:1 CJB

God was here from the beginning and He will be here to the end and beyond! He also created everything, including, us and everthing God does is perfect!

“In the beginning, you laid the foundations of the earth; heaven is the work of Your hands.”
Psalm 102:25 CJB

This should be comforting to us! God created all things, which includes us and He created us for His purposes! So even if things seem rough and the world is out of control, remember, God created all things and He will perfectly work it all out!

“Taste, and see that the Adonai is good. How blessed are those who take refuge in Him!”
Psalm 34:8 CJB

Today, knowing the LORD has created all things, let’s take refuge in Him, knowing He has it all worked out for us!
Have a blessed day in the LORD!

“The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ Let anyone who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let anyone who is thirsty come — let anyone who wishes, take the water of life free of charge.”
Revelation 22:17 CJB

The reminder here is that Yeshua is coming soon and His salvation for us is a free gift to anyone who calls on Him!

“By God’s grace, without earning it, all are granted the status of being considered righteous before Him, through the act redeeming us from our enslavement to sin that was accomplished by the Messiah Yeshua.”
Romans 3:24 CJB

Yes, salvation is free and as believers we really need to be sharing that to the lost and thirsty world!

“All you who are thirsty, come to the water! You without money, come, buy, and eat! Yes, come! Buy wine and milk without money — it’s free!”
Isaiah 55:1 CJB

Today, let’s be sharing the free gift of salvation. The world around us really needs to hear about the Good News of Salvation. People are thirsty for hope and that hope is in Yeshua!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Then the One sitting on the throne said, Look! I am making everything new! Also He said, Write, These words are true and trustworthy!”
Revelation 21:5 CJB

All the pain and sorrow we may be in now is temporary and the LORD is going to get us through! One day soon we will be with Him for all eternity as He promises!

“For look! I create new heavens and a new earth; past things will not be remembered, they will no more come to mind.”
Isaiah 65:17 CJB

One of the cool things here is we are not gonna relive all the bad things that happened to us, we won’t even remember them! It’s a useful tip for today! We need to stop reliving all our past problems, it does us no good to relive them! Instead let’s look to our future with the LORD!

“But in my mind I keep returning to something, something that gives me hope-that the grace of Adonai is not exhausted, that His compassion has not ended. [On the contrary,] they are new every morning! How great Your faithfulness!”
Lamentations 3:21-23 CJB

Today, the world really is a mess and the life we are living is temporary, but eternity in the presence of the LORD is rapidly approaching! So let us be living for Him!
Have a blessed day knowing soon and very soon we will be with the King!

“Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was hurled into the lake of fire.”
Revelation 20:15 CJB

This should be a sobering verse for everyone! Why? Because it makes it clear you are saved or you are not? We all need to be careful of thinking God gives a pass on sin as some false teachers teach today! This couldn’t be farther from the truth, yes God is gracious, but He also will judge! We all need to repent and turn from sin!

“Not everyone who says to Me, LORD, LORD! will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do what my Father in heaven wants.”
Matthew 7:21 CJB

Like Yeshua says here, there are many people out there saying they’re doing things for the LORD, but really are only enriching themselves!

“On that Day, many will say to Me, LORD, LORD! Didn’t we prophecy (or teach) in Your name? Didn’t we expel demons in Your name? Didn’t we perform many miracles in Your name?”
Matthew 7:22 CJB

We all can do many things in the name of the LORD, but if we are still living in sin and being self-centered, then we are doing nothing for the LORD, just living in the world for ourselves!

“Then I will tell them to their faces, I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!”
Matthew 7:23 CJB

Yeshua makes it pretty clear here, if you’re not living for Him you’ll have no part of Him in His kingdom! How do we keep ourselves in check? By being in His word and doing it!

“I treasure Your word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against You.”
Psalm 119:11 CJB

Today, let’s do the best thing we can do, that is be in the Word of God and not only do it, but live it!
Have a bless day in the LORD!
