“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
John 10:11 CJB

This is what Yeshua did for us, He laid His life down for us! He took the bullet so to speak, so we can have eternal life!

“The hired hand, since he isn’t a shepherd and the sheep aren’t his own, sees the wolf coming, abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf drags them off and scatters them.”
John 10:12 CJB

We all have to be watchful of the leaders we have around us. We need to understand that our leaders, our CEOs and even some Pastors really don’t have our best interests in mind! They are nothing but hired hands fattening people up for wolves!

“Adonai is my shepherd; I lack nothing.”
Psalm 23:1 CJB

Today, let’s be aware of the people around us and remember that the LORD will never leave us or forsake us, He is the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep, so let’s get to know Him by being in His word!
Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!

“LORD, I trust! he said, and he kneeled down in front of Him.”
John 9:38 CJB

This man went from being blind, to being saved and then being thrown out! The same happens to us we are blind, the LORD saves us and the world casts us out! What we need to do is trust the LORD in everything!

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we praise the name of Adonai our God.”
Psalm 20:7 CJB

Be careful of trusting in our knowledge, our skills and our resources, which all can be taken away! But instead trust in the LORD and be blind to the world!

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

Today, with all that is going on around us with health, wealth and politics, it may be a good idea to be blind to all that junk and keep our eyes focused on the LORD!
Have a blessed day trusting the LORD!

“When they kept questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, The one of you who is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”
John 8:7 CJB

This should make us all think before we cast a stone of accusation or a word of gossip! We all need to be careful of what we say and do, basically look in the mirror before we speak!

“A gossip goes around revealing secrets, but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.”
Proverbs 11:13 CJB

Realize gossip, accusations and back biting are different than shining light on sin! We don’t need to judge, that’s Gods gig, but we can shine light!

“You have placed our faults before You, our secret sins in the full light of Your presence.”
Psalm 90:8 CJB

Today, let’s be careful of casting stones, but instead let’s be shiners of light! Realize, we all have sins and were saved by the grace of God!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“The world can’t hate you, but it hates Me, because I keep telling it how wicked its ways are.
John 7:7 CJB

The world doesn’t hate us it hates Yeshua, we just get in the way! The more we keep pointing out wickedness the more Yeshua will be hated! Since the world can’t physically see the LORD they take their hostilities towards Him on us!

“Yeshua spoke to them again; I am the light of the world; whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light which gives life.”
John 8:12 CJB

Remember, the world is really hostile towards God and the more light that is shined on it the more hostile it gets!

“How happy are the people who know the joyful shout! They walk in the light of Your presence, Adonai.”
Psalm 89:15 CJB

Today, realize the world around us is getting increasingly darker, what we get to do is walk in the light of the LORD and reflect that light on darkness!
Have a blessed day reflecting the light of the LORD!

“So they said to Him, What should we do in order to perform the works of God? Yeshua answered, Here’s what the work of God is: to trust in the one He sent!”
John 6:28-29 CJB

Whether they were asking if they can do miracles or not, Yeshua gives them an answer that they probably were not expecting! The answer is simple: just trust God!

“Don’t put your trust in princes or in mortals, who cannot help.”
Psalm 125:3 CJB

How awesome is this, we don’t have to stress about health, wealth or even direction. Instead, all we have to do is just trust Yeshua for all our needs!

“Trust in Adonai with all your heart; do not rely on your own understanding.”
Proverbs 3:5 CJB

Today, don’t get caught up in how things will work out, just know that the LORD will work it out. All we have to do is just trust!
Have a blessed day putting all your hope and trust in the LORD!
