Devotions

“For everything written in the past was written to teach us, so that with the encouragement of the Tanakh (Old Testement) we might patiently hold on to our hope.”
Romans 15:4 CJB

The Old Testament shows us how God wants us to live and walk, by using His wisdom through His word to guide us!

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

We really need to be digging into the word of God daily going through His word systematically! Starting in Genesis and going through to Revelation, then doing it all over again and again! Every problem and every situation you get into will be covered!

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

Today, understand we can learn through life’s experiences or using God’s word, the choice is ours! The easier way using God’s word or the harder way doing it on your own!
Have a blessed day following the LORD!

“Adonai said To Moshe.”
Numbers 4:21 CJB

When the LORD speaks, we need to listen and elevate what He has to say! This is found through out scripture Adonai said, the LORD speaks or hear My voice!

“Hear, my people, while I give you warning! Israel, if you would only listen to Me!”
Psalm 81:8 CJB

The best thing we can do is listen to the LORD, do what He says and elevate His holy name!

“Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the right time He may lift you up.”
1 Peter 5:6 CJB

Today, let’s humble ourselves before the LORD and do what He says in His word! The best thing we can do is lift up the LORD and elevate Him. He will always lift us up!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“You then, why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For all of us will stand before God’s judgment seat; since it is written in the Tanakh, As I live, says Adonai, every knee will bend before me, and every tongue will publicly acknowledge God.”
Romans 14:10-11 CJB also found in Isaiah 45:23

What the LORD is saying here is spend less time looking at other people and their problems and spend more time looking at our own issues!

“So then, every one of us will have to give account of himself to God.”
Romans 14:12 CJB

Remember, we will not be judged on what others do, but we will be judged on what we did!

“When I acknowledge my sin to you, when I stopped concealing my guilt, and said, I will confess my offenses to Adonai; then You, You forgave the guilt of my sin.”
Psalm 32:5 CJB

Today, let’s really do some self reflection and repent of what we do wrong, knowing that the LORD will forgive!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Don’t owe anyone anything-except to love one another; for whoever loves his fellow human being has fulfilled Torah.”
Romans 13:8 CJB

Often times, in many situations we are in, the best thing we can do is just love. It also can be the hardest thing to do! Why? Because the world around us is ugly and full of evil!

“For the commandments, Don’t commit adultery, Don’t murder, Don’t steal, Don’t covet, and any others are summed up in this one rule: Love your neighbors as yourself.”
Romans 13:9 CJB Leviticus 19:18

We may be attacked with words, or even physically. Our first reaction should be love, not attack or fight back! When we can’t love, just walk away!

“Love does not do harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fullness of Torah.”
Romans 13:10 CJB

Today, we need to really try our best to love even when it’s hard! We all are aware of the angry climate in the world around us, but as believers in Yeshua we need to love!
Have a blessed day!

“Bless those who persecute you- bless them, don’t curse them!”
Romans 12:14 CJB

Often times when we are cursed at, yelled at or just treated with total disrespect, we just want to act out, return fire so to speak, but don’t! Instead of tripping out, know the LORD sees all and is dealing with it!

“If possible, and to the extent that it depends on you, live in peace with all people.”
Romans 12:18 CJB

I like what Paul is saying to us: be careful of tripping out in situations, but also be reasonable and live as peaceably as possible, avoid conflict and love others!

“Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.”
Romans 12:21 CJB

Today, be careful of getting offended, but instead look for every opportunity to share the love of the LORD!
Have a blessed day sharing the LORD’S goodness!
