Be special

“(In Israel, back in the old days, when someone went to consult God, he would say, “Come, let’s go to the seer”; because a person now called a prophet used to be called a seer.)”
1 Samuel 9:9 CJB

Why did God change seer to prophet? Because He wants us to separate us from the world! He wants us to be holy (special, separated, not ordinary)! We are God’s special holy people!

“But you are a chosen people, the King’s cohanim, a holy nation, a people for God to possess! Why? In order for you to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”
1 Peter 2:9 CJB

Why does God want us to be different? Because different people stand out and are noticed by the ordinary sinful people of the world! When we are special, holy and anointed for God, people notice and want what we have in Yeshua! Be careful of falling into the trap of being ordinary!

“Here is My servant, whom I support, My chosen one, in whom I take pleasure. I have put my Spirit on him; He will bring justice to the Goyim.”
Isaiah 42:1 CJB

Today, let’s stand out for Yeshua and be special, a holy people Adonai! Remember, even if you are being attacked, it’s usually because people see Yeshua in you and deep down they want the same!
Have a blessed day being holy for God!

Rejoice in Adonai today!

“Adonai said to Sh’mu’el, Listen to the people, to everything they say to you; for it is not you they are rejecting; they are rejecting Me; they don’t want me to be King over them.”
1 Samuel 8:7 CJB

Understand when we are rejected, when we share about Yeshua, it’s not you and I that are rejected, it’s God!

“They are doing to you exactly what they have been doing to Me, from the day I brought them out of Egypt until today, by abandoning Me and serving other gods.”
1 Samuel 8:8 CJB

Unfortunately, many people get upset when they are rejected! We need to actually get excited when people reject us for the name of Yeshua! When folks get upset at us, it usually means we are hitting them with the truth of salvation! So don’t give up, keep sharing!

“This is the day Adonai has made, a day for us to rejoice and be glad.”
Psalm 118:24 CJB

The good news is if we just look to God “On this Day” to see what He doing, instead of looking to days to come, which is why the people were rejecting God and wanted a king instead! They could see the kingdoms around them seemed to look better, being run by a corruptible king!

“Still, I will rejoice in Adonai. I will take joy in the God of my Salvation.”
Habakkuk 3:18 CJB

So let’s look to this day for Adonai and not get all caught up in things yet to come! Rejoice in Adonai today!
May your day be richly blessed!
