Devotions

“But just as he reached this point in his defense, Festus shouted at the top of his voice, Sha`ul (Paul), you’re out of your mind! So much learning is driving you crazy!”
Acts 26:24 CJB

This is the reaction the world gives to us about Yeshua and His salvation, they simply think we are crazy for studying and learning about Him!

“But Sha`ul said, No, I am not ‘crazy,’ Festus, your Excellency; on the contrary, I am speaking words of truth and sanity.”
Acts 26:25 CJB

Like Paul, when we talk about Yeshua, we are talking about truth and we are completely sane! It’s the world around us that is out of control and walking in insanity!

“For your grace is there before my eyes, and I live my life by your truth.”
Psalm 26:3 CJB

Today, don’t worry about the world and its anger towards the LORD, but instead let’s simply just live in and share His truth!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“It seems irrational to me to send a prisoner without also indicating what the charges against him are.”
Acts 25:27 CJB

The same happens today. Believers are persecuted for sharing about Yeshua, with no real charges against them. Not to worry, the LORD will deal with them, so just keep preaching!

“Adonai your God will put all these curses on your enemies, on those who hated and persecuted you.”
Deuteronomy 30:7 CJB

Even though we may feel persecuted for sharing the truth about the LORD and His salvation, we shouldn’t let that discourage us from sharing!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 CJB

Today, let us share the Good News of the LORD with everyone we come in contact with no matter what!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

“You are to keep My mitzvot (commands) and obey them; I am Adonai.”
Leviticus 22:31 CJB

One of the hardest things, in my opinion, is for believers in Yeshua to realize that the commands of God are for us, to guide us in His ways! When we walk in His ways life always is much easier!

“If you love Me, you will keep My commands (mitzvot); and I will ask the Father, and He will give you another comforting Counselor like Me, the Spirit of Truth, to be with you forever.”
John 14:15-16 CJB

Following the LORD shouldn’t be hard when we love Him. He also gave us His Holy Spirit to guide us and direct us!

“For loving God means obeying His commands (mitzvot). Moreover, His commands are not burdensome.”
1 John 5:3 CJB

Today, really seek the LORD, to see what He will say to you through His word!
Have a blessed day walking in His ways!
Shabbat Shalom!

“And I continue to have hope in God-which they too accept-that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”
Acts 24:15 CJB

One day all people will have to stand before the LORD, believers and unbelievers! Be glad that you’re a believer and if not, repent and accept Yeshua as your Savior!

“In the name of Myself I have sworn, from My mouth has rightly gone out, a word that will not return-that to Me every knee will bow and every tongue will swear.”
Isaiah 45:23 CJB

We need to realize that when we stand before the LORD we will hear one of two things, well done or depart from Me! Which will you hear? To hear well done, just confess and repent!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in Heaven. “
Mathew 5:16 CJB

Today, realize, the best thing we can do is repent and believe, then serve the LORD with our whole heart!
Have a blessed day shining His light!
Shabbat Shalom!

“The following night, the LORD stood by him and said, Take courage! For just as you have borne a faithful witness to me in Yerushalayim, so now you must bear witness in Rome.”
Acts 23:11 CJB

The key to trials and tribulation is being faithful to the LORD and clinging to Him!

“For Adonai loves justice and will not abandon His faithful; they are preserved forever. But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.”
Psalm 37:28 CJB

Troubles will come and go, but the LORD will always be right there with us!

“In God I trust; I have no fear; what can mere humans do to me?”
Psalm 56:11 CJB

Today, with all that is going on in the world we need to put all our trust and hope in the LORD! Knowing He is always faithful!
Have a blessed day in Him!
