Devotions

“Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.”

1 Samuel 12:24

Sometimes we can get so consumed on what we need and want, that we can forget what the LORD has already done!

“The LORD has done great things for us, And we are glad.”

Psalm 126:3

Often times when we remember the past victories the LORD has given us, it will encourage us to the future victories He will give us. We need to just realize that the LORD will always allow ups and downs in our lives so we can see Him work!

“And he said: Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.”

Job 1:21

So whatever situation you are in good or bad realize that the LORD has gotten you this far! So let us continue to serve and worship Him today, have a blessed day in Him!

“Every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours.”

Numbers 18:14

What are we devoting to the LORD, is it everything or just bits and pieces, our leftovers!

“Therefore, submit to God. Moreover, take a stand against the Adversary, and He will flee from you.”

James 4:7 CJB

When we are devoting ourselves and our possessions to the LORD, we become part owners of the Kingdom! We find our lives more submitted to His will and His ways.

“Many Gentiles will go and say, Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob! He will teach us about His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For out of Zion will go forth Torah, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.”

Micah 4:2 CJB

Today let us devote and dedicate all to the LORD, have a blessed day!

“Thus did Moses; Just as the LORD had commanded him, so he did.

Numbers 17:11

Like Moses and anyone else, if we just do as the LORD commands us to do we will always be better off!

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

John 14:15

When we walk in the ways that the LORD tells us to in scripture life will always go better. It’s when we do our own thing we fall apart.

“Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, Who walks in His ways.”

Psalm 128:1

Today let’s do what the LORD says, don’t do your own thing! Make decisions according to scripture, not self will, peer pressure or popular trends! Let’s use the word of the LORD as our guide! Have a blessed day!

“And he stood between the dead and the living; so the plague was stopped.”

Numbers 16:48

From time to time we need to stand in the gap for people and lift them up in prayer to the LORD.

“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

James 5:16

We can be part of the solution when we decide to stand in the gap and pray! We can see people stumble and slip, do we gossip and condemn or do we lift people up and pray?

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-17

Today let us stand in the gap and pray! Have a blessed day!

“And he cried out, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Luke 18:38

Blind Bart, could have said LORD why have You done this to me, instead he says have mercy on me!

“Oh, Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”

1 Chronicles 16:34

Realize no matter how tough things may look, or how things may not be working out! Remember the LORD has it all worked out, we just need to do what’s before us and know the LORD has it covered!

“For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Jeremiah 29:11

So no matter how hard things may look or how long or hard we’ve been struggling! Remember the LORD is full of mercy and has a perfect plan for you and me! Have a blessed day! Shabbat Shalom
