“Adonai, my heart isn’t proud; I don’t set my sight too high, I don’t take part in great affairs or in wonders far beyond me.”
Psalm 131:1 CJB

This is a good check list for us to ask! Are we proud? Are we arrogant? Do we butt into others’ affairs? Or do we try to take on things that are way ahead of where we are at? We need to just concern ourselves with the issues we have right before us and be humble!

“The scornful He scorns, but gives grace to the humble.”
Proverbs 3:34 CJB

Part of being humble is just doing what God has set aside for you and not worry about what God sets aside for others!

“Don’t worry about tomorrow-tomorrow will worry about itself! Today has enough tsuris (tribulation, troubles) already!”
Matthew 6:34 CJB

Today, let’s really spend more time being concerned at what Adonai is doing in us and simply just pray for others!
Have a blessed day seeking Adonai!

“Adonai, I call to You from the depths; hear my cry, Adonai! Let Your ears pay attention to the sound of my pleading.”
Psalm 130:1-2 CJB

Here we see the Psalmist in great distress calling to Adona! We all have been in or are going through something of great distress now! We all have situations that cause distress, may be health, debt or even depression! The first step to any solution is to call out to Adonai!

“Hear my cry, God; listen to my prayer.”
Psalm 61:1 CJB

No matter what situation we are going through, we need to be calling upon Adonai for answers! Understand, answers and help is on the way we just need to be patient and wait! Don’t get ahead of God!

“On the day of my trouble I am calling on You, for You will answer me.”
Psalm 86:7 CJB

Remember, we all have difficult situations from time to time, know that when we call on Adonai and He hears and He answers!
Have a blessed day knowing help is on the way!

“Let all who hate Tziyon (Zion) be thrown back in confusion.”
Psalm 129:5 CJB

Nothing new here! People hated and tried to destroy the Jews and Zion and people today are still trying to destroy the Jews and the body of believers! This is why there is great confusion in the world today!

“At that time you will be arrested and handed over to be punished and put to death, and all peoples will hate you because of Me.”
Matthew 24:9 CJB

Understand, the worlds hatred towards you isn’t necessarily against you and I, it’s directed towards God we just get in the way, because we belong to Him!

“And indeed, all who want to live a godly life united with Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted.”
2 Timothy 3:12 CJB

This may not seem very encouraging, but the more we are persecuted the closer to Adonai we became and don’t worry God is going to make all things right!

“I have said these things to you so that, united with Me, you may have shalom. In the world you have tsuris (tribulation). But be brave! I have conquered the world!”
John 16:33 CJB

Today, don’t worry about the world and its hatred, just focus on Adonai, knowing He has redeemed us and soon we will be in His presence!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“This is the kind of blessing that will fall on him who fears Adonai.”
Psalm 128:4 CJB

What kind of blessing falls on those who fear Adonai? Remember that fear isn’t of Him it’s a fear of walking without Him! The scriptures don’t tell us that blessings are great riches, great success or fame! It’s having the things you need, having joy in life and having the hope of Heaven! The blessing is belonging to God and being guided and protected by Him!

“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 desires us to have a blessed and fruitful life in Him. The best way we can do that is by simply walking in His ways, not getting in His way!

“So obey the mitzvot (commands) of Adonai your God, living as He directs and fearing Him.”
Deuteronomy 8:6 CJB

Today, if you truly want to be blessed! Seek Adonai and His ways and then walk in them!
May your day be richly blessed in Adonai!
Shabbat Shalom!

“In vain do you get up early and put off going to bed, working hard to earn a living; for He provides for His beloved, even when they sleep.”
Psalm 127:2 CJB

The point here is; you can try going to work early and staying up late to be successful, but you’ll wear yourself out or lose those you love! We need to just trust Adonai and follow Him, He will guide you and direct you, He’s even working things out as we sleep!

“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

So instead of running around trying to be successful, get up early and lay all your needs before Adonai, knowing He will deliver!

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

If you haven’t been seeking God before you get going in your day, then make today, the day you start! Seek God early in everything and watch how He makes you successful!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!
