“For all the peoples will walk, each in the name of its god; but we will walk in the name of Adonai our God forever and ever.”
Micah 4:5 CJB

We see this all around us, people walking in the name of their own god! Transgenderism, politics, entertainment and personal wealth to name a few! What we need to do is not focus on any of that, but focus on our God the creator of the Universe!

“If it seems bad to you to serve Adonai, then choose today whom you are going to serve! Will it be the gods your ancestors served beyond the River? or the gods of Emori, in whose land you are living? As for me and my household, we will serve Adonai!”
Joshua 24:15 CJB

A great question for us also, who are we going to serve, the gods of this world or Adonai, who created the world?

“Serve Adonai with gladness. Enter His presence with joyful songs.”
Psalm 100:2 CJB

One of the best ways to serve Adonai is by being in His Word and then simply just doing what it says!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Hear this, please, leaders of the house of Ya`akov, rulers of the house of Israel, you who abhor what is just and pervert anything that is right, who build up Tziyon with blood and Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) with wickedness.”
Micah 3:9-10 CJB

Just like in Micah’s day, rulers judge for reward, priests taught for hire and prophets prophecy for money! Then these false leaders and preachers believe they will be given favor because they identify with Adonai and somehow are untouchable!

“Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows.”
Galatians 6:7 CJB

The problem with many so called believers is they believe they are getting away with something as if God doesn’t see them! We see this foolishness with political, business and ministry leaders all about us today! The sad thing is people promote this wickedness today, because it fits their own personal agenda!

“For the time is coming when people will not have patience for sound teaching, but will cater to their passions and gather around themselves teachers who say whatever their ears itch to hear. Yes, they will stop listening to the truth, but will turn aside to follow myths.”
2 Timothy 4:3-4 CJB

Today, understand that we live in vile times that are really no different than the days of Micah! What do we do? Trust in Adonai!
Have a blessed day seeking Adonai the King!

“If a man who walks in wind and falsehood tells this lie: I will preach to you of [how good it is to drink] wine and strong liquor-this people will accept him as their preacher!”
Micah 2:11 CJB

Just like in Micah’s day, the people will always put up preachers who will condone their sinful practices! Not just drunkenness and adultery, but also stealing and ripping off others! We are saved by God’s grace, but in no way does He want us to live without keeping His commandments and walking in His ways!

“If you love Me, you will keep My commands.”
John 14:15 CJB

God’s grace covers our sins, but in no way are we free to keep walking in them! We must walk in the ways of Adonai, found in His word!

“For loving God means obeying His commands. Moreover, His commands are not burdensome.”
1 John 5:3 CJB

Today, let’s simply walk in His ways and not waste our time trying to look for loop holes so we can walk in ours!
Have a blessed day following Adonai!

“Listen, peoples, all of you! Pay attention, earth, and everything in it! Adonai Elohim will witness against you, Adonai, from His Holy Temple.”
Micah 1:2 CJB

One day soon Adonai is going to judge everything and everyone, no one will get away with anything! In God’s economy no one is above His law!

“Adonai tests the righteous; but He hates the wicked and the lover of violence.”
Psalm 11:5 CJB

Don’t look at testing as God being mean to us. He tests us so we can grow in Him! But the wicked He will judge!

“He will rain hot coals down on the wicked, fire, sulfur and scorching wind will be what they get to drink.”
Psalm 11:6 CJB

God warns us throughout His Word of coming judgment, so we are warned! He also tells us of His great blessings that He has for us, so let’s pay attention to Him today!
Have a blessed day in Adonai!

“But this was very displeasing to Jonah, and he became angry.”
Jonah 4:1 CJB

What would Jonah be angry about after seeing 120,00 people get saved! Remember these people killed many of his brothers and sisters and he felt they should only burn in Hell!

“He prayed to Adonai, Now, Adonai, didn’t I say this would happen, when I was still in my own country? That’s why I tried to get away to Tarshish ahead of time! I knew you were a God who is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in grace, and that you relent from inflicting punishment.”
Jonah 4:2 CJB

Unfortunately, this could be our heart about people we hate, whether they are neighbors, co-workers or Hamas terrorists, we need to remember God still loves them and wants all to repent and come to Him!

“The LORD is not slow in keeping His promise, as some people think of slowness; on the contrary, He is patient with you; for it is not His purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone should turn from his sins.”
2 Peter 3:9 CJB

This is good news that God keeps His promises, every last one of them! No matter how evil or bad someone is from our prospective, God still loves them and desires them to repent and be saved! The question is are we sharing that Good News of Salvation or are we judging their evil? Let’s share and let God judge!
Have a blessed day sharing His Good News of Salvation!
