Devotions

“After Shabbat, as the next day was dawning, Miryam of Magdala and the other Miryam went to see the grave.”
Matthew 28:1 CJB

After we rest, we need to step out and the earlier the better, to share the Good News of Salvation. In other words, don’t wait! As much as we come and see, we should also go and tell!

“Sing to Adonai a new song! Sing to Adonai, all the earth! Sing to Adonai, bless His name! Proclaim His victory day after day!”
Psalm 96:1-2 CJB

Yes, we need to hear and take in the Good News of the LORD, but we need to also share and live it!

“Don’t deceive yourselves by only hearing what the Word says, but do it!”
James 1:22 CJB

Today, after we rest and hear, let’s go out and do and share! Be careful of just telling people about the LORD, but let’s also be doers in the LORD!
Have a blessed day hearing, sharing and doing!

“Then they went back home to prepare spices and ointments. On Shabbat the women rested, in obedience to the commandments.”
Luke 23:56 CJB

Even though there may have been much to do, these woman decided to keep the commandments and rest! We should also spend more time resting in the LORD and less time wrestling in the world!

“On the seventh day you are to have a holy convocation; do not do any kind of ordinary work.”
Numbers 28:25 CJB

The LORD really wants us to take a break, not being busy wrestling with things that distract us! The things we think need to be done can really wait a day! It really is more important to take a day and rest in the LORD, seeking His peace!

“My safety and honor rest on God. My strong rock and refuge are in God.”
Psalm 62:7 CJB

Today, let’s not be busy bodies, being anxious about the things going on around us, but instead let’s just rest in the LORD!
May your day be richly blessed resting in the LORD!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Adonai went ahead of them in a column of cloud during the daytime to lead them on their way, and at night in a column of fire to give them light; thus they could travel both by day and by night.”
Exodus 13:21 CJB

Just like Moses, who led the children of Israel through a great and terrible wilderness using the column of smoke by day and the column of fire by night God covers us in the same way!

“Guide me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are the God who saves me, my hope is in You all day long.”
Psalm 25:5 CJB

We are living in troubled times. There are all kinds of disasters going on around us and we desperately need the LORD to guide us!

“Guide my footsteps by Your word; don’t let any kind of sin rule me.”
Psalm 119:133 CJB

Understand, the LORD has given us His word to cover us and guide us each and every day! So we don’t need to worry about the troubling times we are living in. We have the LORD!
Have a blessed day.
Shabbat Shalom!

“When, at some future time, your son asks you, What is this?’ then say to him, With a strong hand Adonai brought us out of Egypt, out of the abode of slavery.”
Exodus 13:14 CJB

We should always be ready to share the great things that the LORD has done! He saved us from Hell and a life full of death! One day our present situation will be over and we will be able to share the victory we have in the LORD!

“The thief comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, life in its fullest measure.”
John 10:10 CJB

The world and its trappings will only rip you off, taking away any real joy! The LORD wants to give you life filled with His joy!

“Shout for joy to Adonai, all the earth!”
Psalm 100:1 CJB

I believe today is that day to share the great things the LORD is doing! The LORD has bought us out of the bondage of sin and we need to share the Good News of His Salvation!
Today let’s share the joy of the LORD!

“On that day you are to tell your son, It is because of what Adonai did for me when I left Egypt.”
Exodus 13:8 CJB

We need to tell the story of what the LORD has done. WHY? One, so we don’t forget and Two, to encourage others!

“Adonai did do great things with us; and we are overjoyed.”
Psalm 126:3 CJB

The LORD has given us a new day filled with His mercies! He has also given us salvation, He saved us from Egypt (the world). That alone should lead us to rejoice!

“Blessed be Adonai! Every day He bears our burden, God is our salvation. Our God is God who saves; from Adonai comes escape from death.”
Psalm 68:19-20 CJB

Today, we have a lot of things going on around us, but the best thing we have is the LORD and He is the best thing we can talk about! No matter what, the LORD will get us through, so rest in Him! Have a blessed day knowing that the LORD is our Passover lamb!
