“And Moses said to Pharaoh, Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only. So He said, TOMORROW. And he said Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.” Exodus 8:9-10

This is amazing to me here the land of Egypt is over run by frogs their everywhere! In the house, kitchen, bedrooms and streets. Pharaoh can have them all removed immediately, but tells Moses ok you win but do it TOMORROW! It’s like sin the LORD can heal you and I from it right now, but we often choose to spend one more night with the frogs!

“And Elijah came to all 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 all have a choice to make either the LORD or the world! Don’t delay in what you know that needs to be said or done, don’t delay in getting rid of the frogs. We all need to make a choice for the LORD to follow Him and worship Him!

“I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.” 2 Samuel 22:4

Don’t spend one more night with the frogs, because they will begin to stink! What frogs you may ask? The frogs of sin, depression, stress and doubt! Call upon the LORD and watch Him appear and remove the obstacles that burden you! Have a blessed day in Him!

“So the LORD said to Moses: See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.”

Exodus 7:1

Like Moses and Aaron the LORD has done the same for us, the phrase made you as god is they are His spokesman, His Ambassadors to Egypt! They’re to represent the LORD, in all that He says to say and do, so are we! We are messengers of the LORD.

“A wicked messenger falls into trouble, But a faithful ambassador brings health (or life). Proverbs 13:17

Realize as we walk into the world today and every day, as the LORD’s anointed, we are His spokesmen His representatives. And in every situation, He will put the words in our our mouths!

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” 1 Peter 2:9

In every situation we can get into throughout the day, remember we are Ambassadors of the LORD, so be bold in our faith and know ‘He will appear’ every time when we are proclaiming His praises! Have a blessed day in Him!

“And God spoke to Moses and said to him: I am the LORD.” Exodus 6:2

Every time we get ourselves into a situation good or bad the LORD is ready to step in ‘He appears’. God makes promises and He keeps them!

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

The LORD is always one prayer call away, He is always watching over us in every situation. So no matter where you are at in life or what obstacles are in front of you, the LORD is there, ready to appear!

“In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me.” Psalm 86:7

No matter what is going on in your life, realize the LORD is right there ready to appear and make His presence known! So don’t be stressed or depressed, be encouraged and know the LORD has you covered! Have a blessed week.

“I Am THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” Matthew 22:32

What a glorious statement and truth, our LORD is not a dead god, but the living God! We need to be believers full of life, not full of death and misery! Let us be full of the glorious life of the LORD!

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2:9

We all may have various things going on around us, but the biggest thing that we have is the LORD who is full of life and hope! Listen to what the LORD tells us to do.

“Jesus said to him, YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.” Matthew 22:37

Simply put just love the LORD, walk with Him, listen to Him and rejoice in Him! And as we do that love the LORD listen to whats next!

“And the second is like it: YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” Matthew 22:39

Jesus said love not correct! Today let us be living stones not dead, loving the LORD with all we got and loving those around us! If you feel the desire to correct others go back to the first loving the LORD, what a reflection we are of His glorious light when we just simple live and love God! Have a blessed day!

“Has He struck Israel as He struck those who struck him? Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?” Isaiah 27:7

It would seem that God judges Israel more than other nations when we read this. The truth I believe is when we see the truth and light of the LORD it creates responsibility for us that know Him! So yes He is harder on the ones He loves and He loves you!

“It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man.” Psalm 118:8

Even though in life we can have some difficulties when we walk hard with the LORD, but we will always be better off! When we don’t walk in the ways of the LORD, remember we aren’t getting away with anything and are creating messes!

“The LORD has chastened me severely, But He has not given me over to death.” Psalm 118:18

So don’t put off the things that the LORD instructs you to do! He has installed His Spirit in us, and has given us His word to guide us, so we have no excuse not to walk uprightly!

“Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11

Today if your lost, confused or just don’t know what to do! Pray, get into the word and wait for the LORD to direct you, also shut off all the worlds distractions. Have a blessed day in the LORD. Shabbat Shalom
