“Thus, faith by itself, unaccompanied by actions, is dead.”
James 2:17 CJB

We really can’t say we have faith but don’t act on it! Our faith needs to lead us to works of the LORD! The word faith actually can be translated as trust, that is trusting the LORD is working in our lives. All we have to do is walk in it!

“Indeed, just as the body without spirit is dead, so too faith without actions is dead.”
James 2:26 CJB

We all have decisions to make on a daily basis and we need to just trust our LORD to just get us through!

“As for God, His way is perfect, the word of Adonai has been tested by fire; He shields all who take refuge in Him.”

Have a blessed day following the LORD!

“Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach; and it will be given to him.”

How comforting this is when we don’t know what to do. All we need to do is ask the LORD and He gives us His wisdom!

“For Adonai gives wisdom; from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.”
Proverbs 2:6 CJB

The LORD is so good. He doesn’t just toss us into the world with no direction! He gives us His word to guide us and His Holy Spirit to give us discernment!

“Don’t deceive yourselves by only hearing what the Word says, but do it!”

Have a blessed day in Him!

“Keep your lives free from the love of money; and be satisfied with what you have; for God himself has said, I will never fail you or abandon you.”
Hebrews 13:5 CJB

Money can be a thorn for all of us. The rich want to stay rich and the poor want to be rich. The rich and the poor have a love for money! Also the hardest thing at times can be just being satisfied with what we already have! We need to remember the LORD will never fail us!

“Therefore, we say with confidence, Adonai is my helper; I will not be afraid-what can a human being do to me?”

“Adonai is my light and salvation; whom do I need to fear? Adonai is the stronghold of my life; of whom should I be afraid?”

Have a blessed day knowing the LORD has you covered in everything!

“Keep pursuing shalom with everyone and the holiness without which no one will see the LORD.”
Hebrews 12:14 CJB

Often times this can be really difficult, trying to find Shalom (peace) with the way the world around us is going! We will always be better off when we do. Don’t let things bother you so much!

“Turn from evil, and do good; seek peace, go after it!”

We really need to be people who seek peace and really go after it as much as we can!

“But if the people of a house or town will not welcome you or listen to you, leave it and shake its dust from your feet!”

Have a peaceful day in the LORD!

“And all the following blessings will be yours in abundance-if you will do what Adonai your God says:”
Deuteronomy 28:2 CJB

We can’t expect the LORD to bless us when we are counstantly disobeying Him! Realize we will be accountable for our actions, yes, the LORD forgives, but He doesn’t bless our sins! Good things happen when we listen to the LORD!

“A blessing on you when you go out, and a blessing on you when you come in.”
Deuteronomy 28:6 CJB

Life is full of challenges that can distract us when we go out into the day and when we come in from the day! We really just need to be following the LORD in everything!

Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!
