“I heard a human voice calling from between the banks of the Ulai, Gavri’el(Gabriel), make this man understand the vision!”

Daniel 8:16 CJB

The LORD gives us vision when we dig into His word and He wants us to understand what it means and how to use it! His vision always contains His good news of salvation!

“Without a prophetic vision, the people throw off restraint; but he who keeps Torah is happy.”

Proverbs 29:18 CJB

The LORD wants us to have vision, His vision, not ours, and He wants us to understand! We need to realize our LORD doesn’t want us to be in the dark, but in His marvelous light! So don’t panic or get frustrated, just keep digging in His word!

“Come to me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30 CJB

Today, realize the LORD doesn’t want us to be in the dark, but in the light, His light! He wants us to have understanding and His peace! He also wants us to have vision, His vision! Have a blessed day seeking the LORD and His vision for our lives!

“This is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts frightened me so much that I turned pale; but I kept the matter to myself.”

Daniel 7:28 CJB

When Daniel sees the coming of world events, it troubles him deeply, keeping it to himself! When we read through the word, we too can see the coming prophetic history and it can be troubling, as we see it happening in front of our eyes!

So what are we to do? Share the good news of salvation!

“His salvation is near for those who fear Him, so that glory will be in our land.”

Psalm 85:9 CJB

Just looking around us, whether it’s the news, work, school or just going out, we can see many disturbing things, but don’t worry the LORD is near!

“I have said these things to you so that, united with Me, you may have Shalom. In the world, you have tsuris(tribulation). But be brave! I have conquered the world!”

John 16:33 CJB

Today, let’s not allow the troubling world events frighten or distract us from sharing His glorious good news of salvation! May your day be richly blessed!

“The servant replied, Suppose the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land. Must I bring your son back to the land from which you came? Avraham said to him, See to it that you don’t bring my son back there.”

Genesis 24:5-6 CJB

Just as Abraham was brought out of the world by the LORD so were we and the LORD doesn’t want us to go back!

“Now Adonai said to Avram, Get yourself out of your country, away from your kinsmen and away from your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.”

Genesis 12:1 CJB

When the LORD gets us out of the world, He doesn’t want us to go back, He wants us to go forward, even if we can’t see what is next!

“For we live by trust, not by what we see.”

2 Corinthians 5:7 CJB

Even if our worldly past seems familiar, don’t go back to it! Go forward in faith, trusting the LORD has a plan, even if it’s not clear what’s next, just trust!

Have a blessed day trusting the LORD!

Shabbat Shalom.

“They replied to the king, That Daniel, one of the exiles from Y’hudah respect neither you, your majesty, nor the decrees you signed; instead, he continues praying three times a day.”

Daniel 6:14 CJB

We need to be like Daniel, not afraid to worship the LORD and not worrying about what people think!

“Whoever acknowledges Me in the presence of others I will also acknowledge in the presence of My Father in heaven.”

Matthew 10:32 CJB

The LORD will never let us down when we are boldly sharing about Him! He will always stand up for us. So we never need to worry about what the world can do to us. Which is nothing!

“He saves, rescues, does signs and wonders both in heaven and on earth. He delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”

Daniel 6:28 CJB

No matter what, when we stand for the LORD, He stands for us! He will deliver us from any sticky situation we may be in. Remember, the world has no power over us!

Have a blessed day being bold for the LORD!

Shabbat Shalom!

“But, Belshatzar, you his son, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this.”

Daniel 5:22 CJB

Belshatzar saw everything that happened to his dad Nebuchadnezzar, when he was turned into a wild beast. He should have known better! The same goes for us we really should know right from wrong!

“If a person will not listen to Torah (instruction), even his prayer is an abomination.”

Proverbs 28:9 CJB

The word of the LORD gives us clear instruction on what to do and not to do and His Holy Spirit guides us. So we have no excuse not to do what is right!

“For Adonai keeps His eyes on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; but the face of Adonai is against those who do evil things.”

1 Peter 3:12 CJB

Today, let’s be humble and not proud, let’s take in the word of the LORD and do what He says! Have a blessed day!
