Devotions

“Then the LORD spoke to Aaron, saying:”

Leviticus 10:8

This is just after Aaron’s sons offered strange fire to the LORD and the LORD sent fire and devoured them. Instead of getting bitter and angry, Aaron just listened!

“All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.”

Psalm 138:4

When we listen to the words of the LORD and do them, we will find ourselves praising Him. When we don’t, we end up bringing strange fire to Him and getting burned!

“For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.”

Malachi 3:6

The LORD never changes and neither does His word. We need to be careful of twisting it to fit our desires, even if they seem good! Just remember what happened to Nadab and Abihu. They were burned up trying to add to what the LORD had already done! Follow what the LORD says and don’t get burned! Have a blessed day listening for what the LORD is saying.

“Then Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded you to do, and the glory of the LORD will appear to you.”

Leviticus 9:6

When we do things the way the LORD tells us, we will always see His glory! We really need to walk in His ways, but so often we get in His way by doing our own thing!

“So He said to them, When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.”

Luke 11:12

“Saying, Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”

Luke 22:42

No matter how things look if we just follow the ways of the LORD, we will see His glory and be blessed!

“Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, And You are exalted as head over all.”

2 Chronicles 29:11

Today, let’s do what the LORD commands, get into His word take it in and then do it! Have a blessed day doing what the LORD says, and watching His glory be upon you!

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.”

Mark 13:32-33

The word tells us that the LORD is coming and the reality is we all have an appointed time to meet Him face to face! With that said, Jesus tells us to watch and pray, not watch and react or take a look and ignore, but watch and pray.

“Therefore evil shall come upon you; You shall not know from where it arises. And trouble shall fall upon you; You will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, Which you shall not know.”

Isaiah 47:11

Don’t be caught watching the world and being caught off guard, but instead, let us be watching for the LORD in every situation and praying!

“Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me.”

Micah 7:7

Remember, we really don’t know when the LORD will return. We know the signs, so when we see them pray! Also, we all have situations happening to us, through us and around us! Watch for them, and pray! Today, let’s all be watching and praying to the LORD!

“And Jesus answered and said to him, Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

Mark 13:2

We need to be careful of worshipping people, places and things! The LORD wants us to worship Him and point people to Him!

“Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.”

Psalm 69:9

When we put our efforts into buildings and not people, we will fail! We need to be careful of what we put our efforts in! Buildings are nice, but they will crumble. People may stumble, but we can lead them to eternity with the LORD!

“Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”

Isaiah 56:7

We all need to put more effort into sharing the love of the LORD and praying for the lost and we don’t need a building to pray in; we can pray anywhere. Today, have a blessed day sharing Jesus!

Shabbat Shalom.
