“Move, Tziyon! You who are living with daughters of Babel, escape!”
Zechariah 2:11 CJB

If we are living partly with Adonai and still have one foot in Bavel (the World), then move! You can’t have one foot in the world and one with Adonai!

“Eliyahu stepped forward before all the people and said, How long are you going to jump back and forth between two positions? If Adonai is God, follow Him; but if it’s Ba`al, follow him! The people answered him not a word.”
1 Kings 18:21 CJB

Sadly this is where most people are faltering between two positions, one for God or one for the world! We need to take a stand and follow Adonai!

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we praise the name of Adonai our God.”
Psalm 20:7 CJB

What do we trust in? Is it in the world and its resources or in Adonai and His abundance? No matter what pressure or temptations are out there, let’s choose Adonai!
May your day be richly blessed!

“Don’t be like your ancestors. The earlier prophets proclaimed to them, ‘Adonai-Tzva’ot says turn back now from your evil ways and deeds’; but they didn’t listen or pay attention to Me, says Adonai.”
Zechariah 1:4 CJB

There is no difference today. Just like in the days of Zechariah, who was instructed to return and rebuild the Temple. But the people cared more about themselves ! Unfortunately many so-called believers do the same. They put more care in personal gain than the Kingdom of God!

“For the love of money is a root of all the evils; because of this craving, some people have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves to the heart with many pains.”
1 Timothy 6:10 CJB

Now understand money isn’t evil, it’s the desire to gain it and make more of it to enrich yourself! We all need money to live, but is it what runs and controls our lives?

“No one can be slave to two masters; for he will either hate the first and love the second, or scorn the second and be loyal to the first. You can’t be a slave to both God and money.”
Matthew 6:24 CJB

We all really need to make serving Adonai our top priority! When we do, family, jobs and yes, even finances, will fall into place!
Have a blessed day serving Adonai!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Nevertheless, Z’rubavel, take courage now, says Adonai; and take courage, Y’hoshua the son of Y’hotzadak, and the Cohen hagadol (High Priest); and take courage, all you people of the land, says Adonai; and get to work! For I am with you, says Adonai-Tzva’ot.”
Haggai 2:4 CJB

In other words, don’t whine about your situation, but instead get up and get to work!

“This is in keeping with the word that I promised in a covenant with you when you came up out of Egypt, and My Spirit remains with you, so don’t be afraid!”
Haggai 2:5 CJB

Life can be and is hard, but God says stand strong and get to work!

“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

Today, let’s focus on the greatness of Adonai, not our enemies and challenges in life, no matter what they may be! Remember God is always bigger and is right there with us!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“So is now the time for you to be living in your own paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?”
Haggai 1:4 CJB

What Adonai is saying here is, you are so worried about your house, your job and your life that you put Me (Adonai) on the back burner!

“He said, naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return there. Adonai gave; Adonai took; blessed be the name of Adonai.”
Job 1:21 CJB

We find this theme throughout scripture of greed and wanting prosperity for ourselves, while we neglect Adonai! What are we striving for? Serving Adonai or building our earthly empire? Remember we take nothing with us when we go to be with Him!

“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evils; because of this craving, some people have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves to the heart with many pains.”
1 Timothy 6:10 CJB

Whether rich or poor, money and self serving gets in the way of serving Adonai! Don’t get distracted with worldly things! Today, look to Adonai, who will supply all our needs and serve Him! We can’t serve two masters!
Have a blessed day!
