“Now the one thing is asked of a trustee is that he be found trustworthy [faithful].”
1 Corinthians 4:2 CJB

The LORD isn’t asking us to be healthy, wealthy, successful or even popular, but instead He asks us to be trustworthy (faithful)!

“You who love Adonai, hate evil! He keeps His faithful servants safe. He rescues them from the power of the wicked.”
Psalm 97:10 CJB

How awesome it is to know when we simply just put all our trust and hope in the LORD, it is He who is faithful, keeping all His promises to us!

“His master said to him, Excellent! you are a good and trustworthy servant. You have been faithful with a small amount. Come and join in your master’s happiness!”
Matthew 25:23 CJB

Today, realize, the best thing we can do, is be faithful servants of the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Yeshua the Messiah.”
1 Corinthians 3:11 CJB

The only stable foundation we can rely upon is Yeshua! Any other foundation we try to build on will crumble!

“The name of Adonai is a strong tower; a righteous person runs to it and is raised high [above danger].”
Proverbs 18:10 CJB

We can always rely upon the LORD and His righteousness and count on the fact that His foundation will never crumble!

“Don’t you know that you people are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?”
1 Corinthians 3:16 CJB

Knowing we are the temple of the LORD and we should desire to live in Him, we should also desire to live and walk in His ways!
Have a blessed day living in the strong tower of the LORD!

“For who knows the inner workings of a person except the person’s own spirit inside him? So too no one knows the inner workings of God except God’s Spirit.”
1 Corinthians 2:11 CJB

How true. We can’t really know what is going on inside someone, good or bad, except that person and God! Also, only God knows exactly what He is doing and going to do. He knows what is going on in the world today!

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways, says Adonai.”
Isaiah 55:8 CJB

So, be careful of making opinions about someone when we don’t know what’s going on inside their head! Most importantly, we need to put more trust in the LORD who does know what is going on in everything!

“For we live by trust, not by what we see.”
2 Corinthians 5:7 CJB

Today, let’s live more by trusting the LORD and not getting caught up in the things going on in the world! But, instead let’s be caught up in the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“For God’s nonsense is wiser than humanity’s wisdom. And God’s weakness is stronger than humanity’s strength.”
1 Corinthians 1:25 CJB

In other words, the most insignificant thing that God does is mightier and wiser than the best thing man can put forward!

“For You are great, and You do wonders; You alone are God.”
Psalm 86:10 CJB

God easily out does anything man can do. He also uses the simplest things to make the wisest things of man look foolish!

“But God chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise; God chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the strong; and God chose what the world looks down on as common or regards as nothing in order to bring to nothing what the world considers important.”
1 Corinthians 1:27-28 CJB

Today, realize even the best thing the world puts forward is nothing compared to what God does! We serve an amazing and awesome God who has all things under control!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put snares alongside the teaching in which you have been trained-keep away from them.”
Romans 16:17 CJB

It’s real easy to see people that are not believers causing division around us! What we need to be on the lookout for is people on the inside causing division, teaching false doctrine and sharing half truths!

“They all tell lies to each other, flattering with their lips, but speaking from divided hearts.”
Psalm 12:2 CJB

These are things we need to be on the watch for, divisive language, flattering lips and false teaching! How do we combat this? By studying our Bibles and seeking God’s wisdom and direction, not fleshly desires!

“For the time is coming when people will not have patience for sound teaching, but will cater to their passions and gather around themselves teachers who say whatever their ears itch to hear. Yes, they will stop listening to the truth, but will turn aside to follow myths.”
2 Timothy 4:3-4 CJB

Today, more than ever we, as believers, really need to be studying and knowing our Bibles! There are a lot of false, misleading and divisive people inside the body of believers, unfortunately some of them are the leaders and teachers!
May your day be richly blessed seeking the LORD!
