“And the LORD said to her: Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger.”

Genesis 25:23

We all have a war going on inside us, a war between good and evil, between right and wrong, between the spiritual and the worldly! We need to choose which we will serve?

“And Elijah came to the people, and said, How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him. But the people answered him not a word.”

1 Kings 18:21

We really can’t falter between two opinions or try to live two separate lives! We need to either be sold out for the LORD or not!

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

Matthew 6:24

As we go through our day, we will all have choices to make, either go to the right or go to the left. We can’t try to be politically correct when it comes to the LORD. We can’t ride the fence!

“So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.”

Revelation 3:16

Today, let us follow hard after the LORD, knowing He will never let you down, but remember when we choose the world, it will always leave you empty. Have a blessed day following hard after the LORD!

“Then He said to His disciples, The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.”

Matthew 9:37

This was true then and it is true now: the harvest is ripe! What is lacking is people who are willing to seek out those who need salvation! I believe our problem is rejection, or we feel we are not qualified!

“Therefore pray the LORD of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

Matthew 9:38

Are you born again? Are you saved? If so, then you are qualified to participate in the harvest of the LORD! Don’t worry about rejection, that happens, just keep pushing forward in the LORD!

“Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.”

1 Chronicles 16:23

Realize, we all have a part to play in the Kingdom of the LORD. We get to proclaim His good news of salvation! So today, get out there and share, let’s be harvesters. Have a amazingly blessed day.

“Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

Matthew 8:19

When we hear the call of the LORD, we should all desire to follow and serve Him!

“Then another of His disciples said to Him, LORD, let me first go and bury my father.”

Matthew 8:21

Do we make excuses why we can’t follow and serve the LORD? Life happens and does, at times, get in the way of serving, if we let it! When life happens, know this, the LORD is in it, we just have to look.

“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.”

Psalm 27:13

Today, let us look for the LORD everywhere and in everything! Don’t be overwhelmed by life’s situations, but instead be consumed by the glory of the LORD! Have a blessed day.

Shabbat Shalom.

“So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.”

Matthew 8:15

When our lives are touched by the LORD, we should have a desire to share and serve!

“My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, And my soul, which You have redeemed.”

Psalm 71:23

We’ve been touched by the LORD and we’ve been redeemed, knowing that we should all be excited about sharing the glory of the LORD!

“Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, For great is the glory of the LORD.”

Psalm 138:5

The LORD has done great things for us. He saved you and me from death and destruction! He has given us eternal life. When we share with those around us His blessed hope, we will be filled with His joy! Today, remember that Jesus has touched us, so let’s share and serve Him today! May your day be richly blessed.

“And the king took an oath and said, As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from every distress.”

1 Kings 1:29 NKJB

I love this, as King David is on his death bed, naming Solomon to be his successor. He makes this statement about his life, no matter how much he messed up, the LORD saved and even redeemed his life. The LORD made his life matter.

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

Psalm 126:3 NKJB

Even if you’re going through distressing times right now or have a situation that is stressing you out, remember that, the LORD has redeemed you and He has a perfect plan for you! So hold on to Him, cling to Him and don’t let Him go!

“Adonai takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who wait for His grace.”

Psalm 147:11 CJB

The fear of the LORD really should say “those who can’t live without Him” and we really can’t! We need to cling to the LORD, hold on to Him, because He is holding on to you and is never gonna let you go! Today, no matter what, remember that the LORD is gonna get you through it. Have a blessed day.
