“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I separated you for myself. I have appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”

Jeremiah 1:5 CJB

Just like Jeremiah, the LORD knew us before we were born and separated us for Himself! He also appointed us to share His Good News!

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

Matthew 10:32 CJB

Like Jeremiah, we need to look for every opportunity to share the Good News of His salvation! The world around us really needs to hear about Jesus!

“But you are a chosen people, the King’s cohanim, a holy nation, a people for God to possess! Why? In order for you to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”

1 Peter 2:9 CJB

Today, realize, we are called and appointed by the LORD to share the Good News of salvation! Let’s pray that people hear, repent and accept the beautiful gift of salvation.

Have a blessed day!

“For if you turn away from Him, He will leave them in the desert again, and thus you will cause the destruction of all these people!”

Numbers 32:15 CJB

Realize, when we do our own thing we will end up wandering through the deserts of life! When we don’t do what the LORD says eventually we end up in disaster. Remember, the tribes of Rueben and Gad ended up raising pigs in the land of the gentiles! Listen and do what the LORD says!

“If you love Me, you will keep My commands.”

John 14:15 CJB

No matter how crazy it may seem, when we keep and do what the LORD says we will always be better off!

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

2 Corinthians 5:7 CJB

Today, don’t make decisions by what you see, but by what the LORD says! If we do our own thing we will always end up walking around aimlessly in the desert! Have a blessed day following the LORD!

“Moshe asked them, You let the women live? Why, these are the ones who-because of Bi’lam’s advice-caused the people of Isra’el to rebel, breaking faith with Adonai in the P’ or incident, so that the plague broke out among Adonai’s community!”

Numbers 31:15-16 CJB

The reality it took God one night to get the Israeli’s out of Egypt, but its taking forty years to get Egypt out of Israel! Remember, these were the woman Bil’am (Balaam) convinced to have sexual relations with Israel! Balaam is gone but these woman were being held on to! The question when we kill sin in our lives do we keep little?

“Just as a dog returns to his vomit, a fool repeats his folly.”

Proverbs 26:11

We too can fall into this trap not removing all our sin, do we keep some to play with or look at. Maybe we hold on to some for a later time! Don’t be like a dog returning to his vomit!

“In the same way, consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive for God, by your union with Messiah Yeshua.”

Romans 6:11 CJB

Today, don’t hold onto stuff let it go and let your old sinful self just die. Let’s instead embrace our life giving savior Jesus!

Have a blessed day.

“When a man makes a vow to Adonai or formally obligates himself by swearing an oath, he is not to break his word but is to do everything he said he would do.”

Numbers 30:3 CJB

We need to do what we say, making our yes a yes and no a no! Don’t promise things that you can’t do or you know you’ll never do!

“Just let your ‘Yes’ be a simple ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ a simple ‘No’; anything more than this has its origin in evil.”

Mathew 5:37 CJB

We need to keep what we say simple, by not making over the top outrageous promises we know we can’t keep! Especially the promises to the LORD; you do this and I’ll do that or You get me out of this mess and I’ll do this!

“You who don’t direct your lives, understand caution; as for you, you fools, get some common sense!”

Proverbs 8:5 CJB

Often times we can go through our day without a plan, so be cautious on what we say and do! Call on the LORD before hand and in everything use some common sense, by talking to the LORD before you act. Have a blessed day walking with the LORD.
