“I call out to You [God], but you don’t answer me; I stand up to plead, but you just look at me.”
Job 30:20 CJB

We can feel like this too! Calling out to God and feeling like He doesn’t answer! This is the farthest thing from the truth! God hears you!

“With my voice I call out to Adonai, and He answers me from His holy hill.”
Psalm 3:4 CJB

We need to ask ourselves if God isn’t answering us is it because He’s not speaking or is it because we aren’t getting the answer we want?

“For My thoughts are not Your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways, says Adonai.”
Isaiah 55:8 CJB

Today, If you are not getting the answers you want from Adonai, maybe change your requests by getting into His word and modifying your request to be more in line with God!
Have a blessed day calling out to Adonai!

“When I joked with them, they couldn’t believe it; and they never darkened the light of my face.”
Job 29:24 CJB

No matter how bad things had gotten for Job, he still found a way of laughing and having some humor, not letting his situation overtake him!

“When the king’s face brightens, it means life; his favor is like the clouds that bring spring rain.”
Proverbs 16:15 CJB

The best thing we can do when things are tough, is to make light of the situation! Laughter is always a cure for gloom and depression!

“Our mouths were full of laughter, and our tongues shouted for joy. Among the nations it was said, Adonai has done great things for them! Adonai did do great things with us; and we are overjoyed.”
Psalm 126:2-3 CJB

Today, if you are feeling down, think back to the great things that Adonai has done and continues to do for us! This should bring you joy, encouragement and even some laughter!
Have a blessed day filled with the joy Adonai

“But where can wisdom be found? Where is the source of understanding?”
Job 28:12 CJB

Man has always been looking for what he calls wisdom and understanding! The problem is people always look in the wrong places in the world, instead of God!

“Happy the person who finds wisdom; the person who acquires understanding.”
Proverbs 3:13 CJB

The biggest thing we should fear is going through life without Adonai! Why? Because He knows all and sees all and it is unwise to try and do anything without Him!

“And to human beings he said, ‘Look, fear of Adonai is wisdom! Shunning evil is understanding!’ “
Job 28:28 CJB

Today, we really do have a lot of things we can look at and listen to! But the only real wisdom comes from Adonai and fearing doing life without Him!
Have a blessed day!

“This is God’s reward for the wicked man, the heritage oppressors receive from Shaddai: if hissing become many, they go to the sword; and his children never have enough to eat.”
Job 27:13-14 CJB

It does seem like the wicked world has every earthly possession and opportunity in life, but because they don’t have salvation, they actually never have enough!

“Why do the wicked go on living, grow old and keep increasing their power?”
Job 21:7 CJB

This isn’t a new question and it’s a theme throughout scripture why does the wicked seemingly do better in life than the believers? Answer: they will get their just rewards in this life, what comes next for them isn’t going to be good! We as believers have a future with Adonai!

“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

Adonai has a perfect plan for us and that is what we should focus on, not how the wicked seemingly are doing better! Remember, they will get what’s coming to them! In the meantime pray!

“When you call to Me and pray to Me, I will listen to you.”
Jeremiah 29:12 CJB

Today, let’s spend our time focusing on Adonai and less time on the wicked world!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

“On that day you are to tell your son, It is because of what Adonai did for me when I left Egypt.”
Exodus 13:8 CJB

Remember, God provided Israel everything when they left Egypt: food, possessions and a way out! We need to tell the story of what Adonai has done for us. WHY? One, so we don’t forget and Two, to encourage others!

“Adonai did do great things with us; and we are overjoyed.”
Psalm 126:3 CJB

Adonai has given us a new day everyday we wake up filled with His mercies! He has given us salvation, He saved us from Egypt (the world). That alone should lead us to rejoice and tell about His great story of salvation!

“Blessed be Adonai! Every day He bears our burden, God is our salvation. Our God is God who saves; from Adonai comes escape from death.”
Psalm 68:19-20 CJB

Today, we may have a lot of things going on around us, but the best thing we have is Adonai and He is the best thing we can talk about! No matter what, Adonai will get us through, so rest in Him!
Have a blessed day knowing that Adonai is our Passover Lamb!
Shabbat Shalom!
