God guides

“Therefore, I will block her way with thorns and put a hedge so she can’t find her paths.”
Hosea 2:8 CJB verse 6 in other translations

What God is saying here is He’s going to put a hedge of protection around His beloved to keep her on His path! He does the same for us by placing thorns in the way of our own paths of sin and pride, so it hurts when we stray off of His perfect path!

“Adonai protects all who love Him, but all the wicked He destroys.”
Psalm 145:20 CJB

God places storms in our lives to protect us, direct us and correct us. They may seem thorny and uncomfortable, but they are there for our own good!

“He shows me grace; and He is my fortress, my stronghold, in whom I find shelter, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.”
Psalm 144:2 CJB

God really is our protector and covers us in all the storms of life! So no matter what may be happening, know that God really is leading you and guiding you, so just look to Him!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

Repent

“But I will pity the house of Y’huda; I will save them not by bow, sword, battle, horses or calvary, but by Adonai their God.”
Hosea 1:7 CJB

Here we see God punishing Israel for its sin, hoping Judah will get it and repent, but it didn’t! We all can learn from other people’s mistakes, they don’t have to be our own! The Good News is God saves!

“A king is not saved by the size of his army, a strong man not delivered by his great strength.”
Psalm 33:16 CJB

When we see sin all around us, it’s always best to look in the mirror before we point it out! Why? The reason we may be seeing it is because it may be what we are dealing with also! Remember, it is God who saves! We just need to confess and repent!

“From that time on, Yeshua began proclaiming, Turn from your sins to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near!”
Matthew 4:17 CJB

We all see the evil in the world, so don’t get caught up in it, but instead look at yourself, repent and move on! God, desires us to be with Him in His Kingdom of Heaven!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

Know the times you are in!

“But those who can discern will shine like brightness of Heaven’s dome, and those who turn many to righteousness like stars forever and ever.”
Daniel 12:3 CJB

At the end of the day, we need to be discerning the times we are living in! We need to understand prophecies in Scripture, knowing that all things will come to pass! With that said, we need to be bold in sharing about God every chance we get!

“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

Like Jesus, Daniel and many others in Scripture, we need to be lovers God and sharing the Good News of Salvation in this godless, perverse world!
Politics don’t matter!
Sports don’t matter
Jobs don’t matter!
Nothing really matters unless Yeshua (Jesus) is in it!

“Proclaim with me the greatness of Adonai; let us exalt His name together.”
Psalm 34:3 CJB

Don’t let the corrupt and disgusting world get you down! Instead, be filled with the joy of Adonai!
Have a blessed day in Him!

Be on guard

“Even some of those with discernment will stumble, so that some of them will be refined, purified, purified cleansed for and end yet to come at the designated time.”
Daniel 11:35 CJB

What an eye–opening verse, even some people who should know better scripturally will be deceived by Anti-Christ! This tells us we all need to be on guard!

“For many deceivers have gone out into the world, people who do not acknowledge Yeshua the Messiah’s coming as a human being. Such a person is a deceiver and an anti-messiah.”
2 John 1:7 CJB

Satan is the great deceiver who goes throughout the world deceiving people, especially believers!

“But be careful not to let yourselves be seduced, so that you turn aside, serving other gods and worshipping them.”
Deuteronomy 11:16 CJB

Today, more than ever, we all need to be on guard filtering everything we see and hear by using the Word of God as our filter!
Have a blessed day!
