Devotions

“Yeshua, looking at him, felt love for him and said to him, You’re missing one thing. Go, sell whatever you own, give to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow Me!”

Mark 10:21 CJB

Don’t make excuses on why you can’t follow the LORD, whether it’s money lack of or too much, time or how much you know or don’t know! Following the LORD is being available and ready to share His love! Remember, it’s not always about what we see, it’s who we serve!

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJB

Following the LORD is always an adventure when you step out and do it! The problem with many is they don’t step out and share! It’s easy to share your faith at church or at a Bible study, but sadly that’s it for many!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”

Matthew 5:16 CJB

Today, let’s follow Jesus wherever He leads us! Get out there and do and say good things, sharing the love of the LORD!

Have a blessed day following the LORD.

Shabbat Shalom.

“And Jesus answered and said to them, Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.”

Mark 10:5 NKJB

Yes, Jesus was talking about divorce here, but many of our problems come from the hardness of our hearts! We take a stance and decide we will not change whether we are right or wrong! Understand we don’t always have to be right!

“But by your stubbornness, by your unrepentant heart, you are storing up anger for yourself on the Day of Anger, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.”

Romans 2:5 CJB

Most arguments and disagreements come from stubbornness and having a hard heart! We say things like “it’s got” to be my way or the highway or understand “I’m” always right, but what does that get you: loneliness!

“He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy.”

Proverbs 28:13 CJB

Don’t hold onto things that bind you, making you bitter! Check and see what is in your heart, is it soft or is it hard?

“A time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to discard.”

Ecclesiastes 3:6 CJB

Today, search your heart. Are you holding onto something that has you bound up? That makes you hard and is keeping you from a relationship or holding you back! Give it up, let it go and call on the LORD! Have a blessed day searching your heart and letting go of the things that bind you! Remember, we don’t always have to be right!
