“But Aharon and his sons were the ones who offered on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense for all the service of the Especially Holy Place and to make atonement for Israel, in keeping with all that Moshe the servant of God had ordered to be done.”
1 Chronicles 6:34 CJB

We need to do the same thing by offering up praise to Adonai all day everyday! Praising Adonai is something we get to do!

“My mouth is full of praise for You, filled with Your glory all day long.”
Psalm 71:8 CJB

What is our mouth filled with all day long? Is it praise or is it complaining? Do we complain about what we don’t have or do we praise Adonai for what we do have?

“Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God! How sweet, how fitting to praise Him!”
Psalm 147:1 CJB

Today, let’s be all about praising the King and all the amazing things He has given us! The number one thing is SALVATION!
Have a blessed day!

“Listen to us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us, so choose any of our tombs to bury your dead-not one of us would refuse you his tomb for burying your dead.”
Genesis 23:6 CJB

How do our neighbors, co workers and family members look at us? Do they see God through us or the world? Do we reflect God?

“You are light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”
Matthew 5:14 CJB

We need to reflect the light of Yeshua everywhere we go! We need to be tasty salt and appealing light!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 CJB

We really need to take a good look at ourselves and see if we are being light and being a witness to the world around us!

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

Today, let’s be all about shining and proclaiming how great our God is!
May your day be richly blessed!
Shabbat Shalom!

“They received help against them, so that the Hagri’im and all who were allied with them suffered defeat at their hands; because they cried out to God while they were fighting, and He did as they requested, because they put their trust in Him.”
1 Chronicles 5:20 CJB

Everyday we go out the door we go into battle. As we go out we need to be calling on God!

“I call on Adonai, who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies.”
Psalm 18:4 CJB

Know this: we can’t go out the door until we call on Adonai! We need Him to cover and protect us in all the battles of life!

“He said, Listen, all Y’hudah (Judah), you who live in Jerusalem and King Y’hoshafat (Jehoshaphat): here is what Adonai is saying to you: Don’t be afraid or distressed by this great horde; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.”
2 Chronicles 20:15 CJB

Today, know as we walk out the door and go into battle, it’s not ours but Adonai’s! Remember we are on His team and we walk in His victory. We don’t need to try to fight the battles of life on our own!
Have a blessed day in Adonai!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Yabetz (Jabez) was honored more than his brothers; his mother called him Yabetz, she explained, because I bore him in pain [Hebrew:`otzev].”
1 Chronicles 4:9 CJB

As we go through 1 Chronicles we read these genealogies and see just a list of names for the most part till we get to Jabez! His name means sorrow, don’t really know why he is named that. Maybe his mom had severe labor pain or he has a physical deformity, we just don’t know! What we do know is he is a man wanting to serve God!

“Ya`betz called on the God of Israel: Please bless me by enlarging my territory. May your hand be with me! Keep me from harm, so that it will not cause me pain [Hebrew: atzbi]. God granted his request.”
1 Chronicles 4:10 CJB

I believe the reason God grants these things is because Jabez was praying inside the will of God and that he was going to use these blessings to glorify God!

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

Today, let’s use what Adonai has given us to expand His boundaries and exalt His name in the world around us!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“There in Rivah, in the land of Hamat, the king of Bavel had them put to death. Thus Y’hudah was carried away captive out of his land.”
2 Kings 25:21 CJB

This is the ultimate curse, being carried away captive, taken from your home and enslaved in a foreign land! God warned them and us about being disobedient!

“You I will disperse among the nations, and I will draw out among the sword in pursuit after you; your land will be a desolation and your cities a wasteland.”
Leviticus 26:33 CJB

Not to sound depressing, but the more disobedient the world gets the larger the consequences will be! The only hope is Yeshua (Jesus)!

“Put your hope in Adonai, be strong, and let your heart take courage! Yes, put your hope in Adonai!”
Psalm 27:14 CJB

Today, as ugly as the world around us gets, the more we need to be thankful for the salvation we have in Yeshua (Jesus)! He really is all we need and who we need to put all our hope in!
Have a blessed day in Adonai!
