“Here is what Adonai says: The wise man should not boast of his wisdom, the powerful should not boast of his power, the wealthy should not boast of his wealth; instead, let the boaster boast about this: that he understands and knows Me-that I am Adonai, practicing grace, justice and righteousness in the land; for in these things I take pleasure, says Adonai.”
Jeremiah 9:22-23 CJB

God doesn’t care how rich, how powerful or smart we are! The best thing we can and should do is boast about Adonai and His greatness!

“When I boast, it will be about Adonai; the humble will hear of it and be glad.”
Psalm 34:2 CJB

Notice it’s not the rich, wealthy and powerful who are glad, it’s the humble! God desires us to be humble and wants us to glorify Him! Life is always going to be better when we are worshipping Adonai!

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

Today, let’s be careful of what we cheer and praise, let’s be all about magnifying our Father in Heaven!
Have a blessed day praising Yeshua!

“I listened attentively but they spoke nothing right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done! Each runs off in his own direction, like a horse plunging headlong into battle.”
Jeremiah 8:6 CJB

God is always listening for people to repent, sadly not many do! We watch people all around us, even world leaders. They take no responsibility for what they do wrong! They all run in their own direction, doing their own thing, heading for the cliff of destruction!

“Storks in the sky know their seasons; doves, swallows and cranes their migration times; but My people do not know the rulings of Adonai!”
Jeremiah 8:7 CJB

Understand, God has given the birds of the air, fish in the sea and animals on land a sense of what directions to follow! He also has put in man’s heart to know right from wrong. Unfortunately, man often refuses to do what is right! Why? Man is full of pride!

“Pride goes before destruction, and arrogance before failure.”
Proverbs 16:18 CJB

This is something we all can struggle, with pride and arrogance! Pride, thinking we are above everyone, and arrogance, thinking we know it all or more than others! What do we do? REPENT and call on God to turn us to His right paths!

“Adonai, turn us back to You; and we will come back; renew our days, as they were in the past-unless You have totally rejected us in fury that knows no limits.”
Lamentations 5:21-20 CJB

Understand, there is a limit to God’s patience, so the best thing we can do is repent when we blow it! It does two things: first we are forgiven and second we have dialog with God!
Have a blessed day knowing God forgives when we repent!
Shabbat Shalom!

“First you steal, murder, commit, adultery, swear falsely, offer to Ba`al and go after other gods that you haven’t known.”
Jeremiah 7:9 CJB

Like the people of Israel were talking about the beauty of the temple and praising Adonai, the sad thing is they were also worshipping the false god Ba`al at the same time! The sadder thing is many so-called believers do the same today! We also need to check ourselves on what we watch, listen to and go to!

“Then you come and stand before Me in this house that bears My name and say, ‘We are saved’-so that you can go on doing these abominations!”
Jeremiah 7:10 CJB

This is one of the things that we need to be concerned with in our own lives is what we do and don’t do! God allowed Israel to go into captivity for these practices, don’t think for a moment that He will allow us to get away with it! What do we do? We take a good look in the mirror and repent, God is always faithful to forgive!

“Rather, what I did order them was this: ‘Pay attention to what I say. Then I will be your God, and you will be My people. In everything, live according to the way that I order you, so that things will go well for you.'”
Jeremiah 7:23 CJB

This is the one thing we can always bank on to have an easier life, is by doing what God lays out for us to do in His word, don’t add or subtract, just do!
So may your day be richly blessed by being in the Word of God so you’ll know what to do!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Here is what Adonai says: Stand at the crossroads and look; ask about the ancient paths, ‘Which one is the good way?’ Take it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not take it.'”
Jeremiah 6:16 CJB

Here is the deal: when we are on the crossroads of life, wondering what to do, don’t look for some new way, but look to the old ways of God that are proven and true!

“Adonai, in the morning You will hear my voice; in the morning I lay my needs before You and wait expectantly.”
Psalm 5:3 CJB

Why the morning? Because it is when we start our day and there is no better way to start our day then seeking Adonai! It is so important that we start our day with Adonai, seeking Him for our directions and concerns we have!

“When you seek Me, you will find Me, provided you seek Me wholeheartedly.”
Jeremiah 29:13 CJB

Today, seek God early, wait expectantly for an answer and walk in the confidence of Adonai! Also don’t get distracted with new and foolish ways stick with the old tried and true ways of Adonai!
Have a blessed day in Him!
