“So Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, I am old, and so is my lord; am I to have pleasure again?”

Genesis 18:12 CJB

Very interesting thought here, God the, creator of the universe, tells Abraham and Sarah they’re gonna have a kid and Sarah laughs! How often do we laugh at the promises of the LORD? Maybe say things like that’s not gonna happen or maybe for someone else, not me!

“Instantly the father of the child exclaimed, I do trust-help my lack of trust!”

Mark 9:24 CJB

We can believe in the LORD and still not trust He is going to get us through. We can and do get into situations and say things like “yeah that’s not going to happen, not in this life time or maybe for someone else.” Do we laugh at the LORD?

“As high as the sky is above the earth are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Isaiah 55:9 CJB

No matter how crazy the instructions of the LORD may seem, we just need to listen, trust and obey. He will see us through! Have a blessed day!

Shabbat Shalom!

“If it seems bad to you to serve Adonai, then choose today whom you are going to serve! Will it be the gods your ancestors served beyond the River? Or the gods of Emori, in whose land you are living? As for me and my household, we will serve Adonai.”

Joshua 24:15 CJB

A great question for us also who are we going to serve, the gods of this world or the LORD who created the world?

“Serve Adonai with gladness. Enter His presence with joyful songs.”

Psalm 100:2 CJB

The best way to serve the LORD is be in His word listening and doing what He says!

“The people answered Y’hoshua, We will serve Adonai our God; we will pay attention to what He says.”

Joshua 24:24 CJB

Today, let’s not just say we are going to serve the LORD, let’s just do it! Have a blessed day serving the LORD!

“You have seen everything that Adonai your God has done to all these nations because of you, for it is Adonai your God who fought on your behalf.”

Joshua 23:3 CJB

Anytime you feel like you’re losing the battle you’re in, just remember all the battles He has already won on your behalf.

“But cling to Adonai your God, as you have done to this day.”

Joshua 23:8 CJB

When we remember past victories, it should always encourage us in our present and future battles!

“Therefore take great care to love Adonai your God.”

Joshua 23:11 CJB

Today, let’s have a great day just loving the LORD, knowing He has it all covered!

“Only take great care to obey the mitzvah and the Torah which Moshe the servant of Adonai gave you-to love Adonai your God, follow all His ways, observe His mitzvoth, cling to Him, and serve Him with all your heart and being.”

Joshua 22:5 CJB

No matter where we are at in a good environment or a bad one, we will always do well following and keeping the ways of the LORD!

“I treasure your word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against You.”

Psalm 119:11 CJB

No matter what is going on, things are always going to be better when we are following after the LORD, keeping His ways!

“You are to follow Adonai your God, fear Him, obey His mitzvot, listen to what He says, serve Him cling to Him.”

Deuteronomy 13:5 CJB

Two things that can help you is to fear going through the day without the LORD and cling to Him in everything! Remember, He has you and isn’t letting you go! Have a blessed day in Him!

“Not one good thing that Adonai had spoken of to the household of Israel failed to happen; it all took place.”

Joshua 21:43 CJB

In other words, everything the LORD says happens, He is never wrong on anything! All He says comes to pass!

“For the word of the LORD is true, and all His work is trustworthy.”

Psalm 33:4 CJB

Politicians, bosses and even spouses will let you down, but the LORD never will!

“But Adonai-it is He who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you, so don’t be afraid or downhearted.”

Deuteronomy 31:8 CJB

So whether good or bad, what the LORD says always comes to pass! So for us, let’s do what He says, be in His word and do it! Have a blessed day being doers of His word!
