“I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors, for giving me wisdom and power, and revealing to me what we wanted from you, for giving us the answer for the king.”
Daniel 2:23 CJB

Do we thank God for all our wisdom, skills and discernments? Do we give Him the glory for everything, even the stuff we may not like? Everything comes from Adonai so let’s praise His name in everything!

“Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father who made the heavenly lights; with Him there is neither variation nor darkness caused by turning.”
James 1:17 CJB

Everything no matter what comes from the Father! Even bad things or obstacles can be placed in our way to redirect us on to Adonai’s perfect path! So let’s give Him thanks in all things!

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

Today, let’s be about giving God the glory for everything!
May your day be richly blessed!

“They were to be boys without physical defect, handsome in appearance, versed in all kinds of wisdom, quick to learn, discerning, and having the capacity to serve in the king’s palace; and he was to teach them the language and literature of the Kasdim (Chaldeans).”
Daniel 1:4 CJB

Sounds like our college campus today! We send of our young who are eager to learn and the professors twist them deniers of the truth! Things are not much different than the pagan days of old! The world around us is very much controlled by Satan and it takes the young and twists them! God, desires us to follow after Him!

“So now, Israel, all that Adonai your God asks from you is to fear Adonai your God, follow his ways, love Him and serve Adonai your God, follow all His ways, love Him and serve Adonai your God with all your heart and all your being.”
Deuteronomy 10:12 CJB

We need to be like Daniel and the boys, refusing Satan’s (the king’s) delicacies, which are meant for evil! Satan is always trying to be worshipped and followed like God, so he puts and dangles evil desires in front of men! What do we do? Refuse it, fear living without God, follow His ways and serve Him! God desires us to follow His perfect plan!

“Fot I know what plans I have in mind for you,’ says Adonai,’ plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 CJB

God, knows what we are going through, but realize He has a perfect plan for us! No matter what may be going on around us, know God has a perfect plan!
Have a blessed day being like Daniel, refusing the delicacies of the world!

“They were to be boys without physical defect, handsome in appearance, versed in all kinds of wisdom, quick to learn, discerning, and having the capacity to serve in the king’s palace; and he was to teach them the language and literature of the Kasdim (Chaldeans).”
Daniel 1:4 CJB

The world is no different today. They want people to be young and beautiful and that is what society strives for! Also, like the pagan world of old, our society today wants to form our young people into what Satan wants them to be instead of what God desires us to be!

“So now, Israel, all that Adonai your God asks from you is to fear Adonai your God, follow all His ways, love Him and serve Adonai your God with all your heart and all your being.”
Deuteronomy 10:12 CJB

The desire God has for us is for good things, the desire the enemy has for us is for evil! Satan is always trying to be worshipped like God, so he puts evil desires into man’s hearts! What do we do? Fear living without God, follow His ways and serve Him! God has a perfect plan for us! We need to be like Daniel and the boys who refused the king’s delicacies!

“For I know what plans I have in mind for you,’ says Adonai,’plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 CJB

God knows what we are going through, but He has a perfect plan for us! No matter what may be going on around us, know that God has a perfect plan, so don’t fall into the traps of the world!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“This is the land you are to distribute by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions,’ says Adonai Elohim.”
Ezekiel 48:29 CJB

God has an inheritance and a portion of His blessings for all of us! We just have to step out and receive it! It really is there for the taking!

“I am giving you every place you will step on with the sole of your foot, as I said to Moshe.”
Joshua 1:3 CJB

God doesn’t want us to be timid. He wants us to be bold and full of courage, taking land for His Kingdom, so to speak!

“Haven’t I ordered you, ‘Be strong, be bold’? So don’t be afraid or downhearted, because Adonai your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 CJB

Like Joshua, we need to be strong, bold and courageous as we go out into the world! Remember, God is always with us wherever we go! So today, step out and take land for the Kingdom!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
