Rejoice

“Rejoice in union with the LORD always! I will say it again: rejoice!”
Philippians 4:4 CJB

When we are united with Adonai and seeing Him in everything, it will always lead us to rejoicing! If we just look at issues and problems we end up just complaining!

“I will praise Adonai as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God all my life.”
Psalm 146:2 CJB

When we place all our hope in Adonai, it will always lead us to rejoicing and praising!

“Let everything that has breath praise Adonai! Hallelujah!”
Psalm 150:6 CJB

We can and are so distracted by what goes on in the world around us! We see things that are horrible and out of place! What can we do? Rejoice and praise , by looking to Adonai!
May your day be richly blessed!
Shabbat Shalom!

Shine

“But we are citizens of Heaven, and it is from there that we expect a Deliverer, the LORD Yeshua the Messiah.”
Philippians 3:20 CJB

Our citizenship is really in the Kingdom of Heaven with Adonai as our King! While we are here we are His Ambassadors as we pass through this world!

“But you are a chosen people, the King’s cohanim (priests), a holy nation, a people for God to possess! Why? In order for you to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”
1 Peter 2:9 CJB

We always need to be reminded of this: God has chosen us out of the world to be His Ambassadors to the world.

“Dear friends, I urge you as aliens and temporary residents not to give in to the desires of your old nature, which keep warring against you.”
1 Peter 2:11 CJB

We need to remember we are God’s chosen people to share His Good News! So don’t let the world change you, but instead let us change the world by reflecting the light of Adonai!
May your day be richly blessed shining for Adonai!
Shabbat Shalom!

Don’t complain

“Do everything without kvetching (Yiddish for being petty) or arguing.”
Philippians 2:14 CJB

God really desires us not to be complaining or being petty! We really need to see every situation as a perfect opportunity to glorify God!

“For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.”
Romans 11:36 CJB

From Him or out of Him come all things, God is the source of everything! Through Him, means God is all sufficient and the source of every good thing! Unto Him, means that all beings are accountable to Him! In other words God is good in everything!

“Taste, and see that Adonai is good. How blessed are those who take refuge in Him!”
Psalm 34:8 CJB

So no matter what is going on in life, we need to look for God and His awesomeness!
Have a blessed day seeing good and don’t complain instead rejoice in our present situations!
Have a blessed day!

Pray!

“But if by living on in the body I can do fruitful work, then I don’t know which to choose.”
Philippians 1:22 CJB

Shaul (Paul) had a dilemma. To die is gain (he’d be living with God), but to live on this earth sharing the Good News of Salvation is also amazing (he’d be living for God)! Is this our dilemma?

“I am caught in a dilemma: my desire is to go off and be with Messiah-that is better by far- but because of you, the greater need is to stay on in the body.”
Philippians 1:23-24 CJB

We need to realize as we are walking this earth our goal should and always be to share about Salvation, which our world really needs and if there is no one near to share with! PRAY!

“Yeshua said, I AM the Way-and the Truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6 CJB

Today, let’s spread the Good News of Salvation and pray!
May your day be richly be blessed!
