Life is full of battles. We will win some and we will lose some, but remember, the LORD has won the war! We also need to remember not everyone among us will be peaceful with us!

“I will lie down and sleep in peace; for, Adonai, you alone make me live securely.”

Psalm 4:8 CJB

We need to remember that in the world we will have difficulties, tribulations, but in the LORD we can and do have peace!

“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!”

Today, realize, some days will have peace and some days won’t! But in the LORD we will always have peace. Why? Because He is victorious! Have a blessed day resting in His shalom!

“”Y’hoshua said to them, Don’t be afraid or confused, but be strong and bold, because this is what Adonai will do to all your enemies that you fight against.”

Same goes for us we don’t need to be afraid or confused about life. What we need to know is the LORD has all things under control including dealing with our enemies!

“Haven’t I ordered you, Be strong, be bold? So don’t be afraid or downhearted, because Adonai your God is with you wherever you go.”

In everything we do we need to seek the LORD, and get His instruction and directions on what to do or not to do!

“You keep examining the Tanakh because you think that in it you have eternal life. Those very Scriptures bear witness to Me.”

Two things that happen when we are in the word of God. First: it keeps us looking for Him and Second: it keeps us from sinning against Him! Today, get into His word and share it with everyone!

“Adonai said to Y’hoshua, Stand up! Why are you lying there face down?”
