Don’t be fooled

“Now the serpent was more crafty than any wild animal which Adonai, God, had made. He said to the woman, Did God really say, You are not to eat from any tree in the garden?”
Genesis 3:1 CJB

We all need to be careful of the enemy! Why? Because he really is craftier than all of us and is always looking for ways to cast doubt, deceive and cause havoc in the lives of believers!

“Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a lion looking for someone to devour.”
1 Peter 5:8 CJB

Our Adversay (Satan) is always on the move, lying and deceiving looking for someone to devour! The good news is Adonai is always watching over us, but we still need to be vigilant and ready to call on Adonai for help!

“I call on Adonai, who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies.”
Psalm 18:4 CJB 18:3 NKJV

Today, know that the enemy is out there on the move, but better yet Adonai is watching over us and protecting us! So let’s just praise Him today, because the more we are in communication with God, the Adversary has no opportunities to deceive!
May your day be richly blessed!
Shabbat Shalom!

Rest

“On the seventh day God was finished with His work which He had made, so He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.”
Genesis 2:2 CJB

Did God need to rest? No! Everything Adonai does is to give us an example to follow and how to live His way. He created us knowing we need a day of rest!

“Then He said to them, Sabbath was made for mankind, not mankind for Shabbat; So the Son of Man is LORD even of Shabbat.”
Mark 2:27 CJB

The LORD wants us to have a Sabbath day not to burden us, but instead to free us from our normal activities and to have a special day of rest in Him.

“My soul, return to Your rest! For Adonai has been generous toward you.”
Psalm 116:7 CJB

Today, with all the insanity going on around us, we now, more than ever, need to take a break and there is no better way than taking a day to spend with the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!

Take refuge in Adonai

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Genesis 1:1 CJB

God was here from the beginning and He will be here to the end and beyond! He also created everything, including, us and everthing God does is perfect!

“In the beginning, you laid the foundations of the earth; heaven is the work of Your hands.”
Psalm 102:25 CJB

This should be comforting to us! God created all things, which includes us and He created us for His purposes! So even if things seem rough and the world is out of control, remember, God created all things and He will perfectly work it all out!

“Taste, and see that the Adonai is good. How blessed are those who take refuge in Him!”
Psalm 34:8 CJB

Today, knowing the LORD has created all things, let’s take refuge in Him, knowing He has it all worked out for us!
Have a blessed day in the LORD!

Thirsty for hope

“The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ Let anyone who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let anyone who is thirsty come — let anyone who wishes, take the water of life free of charge.”
Revelation 22:17 CJB

The reminder here is that Yeshua is coming soon and His salvation for us is a free gift to anyone who calls on Him!

“By God’s grace, without earning it, all are granted the status of being considered righteous before Him, through the act redeeming us from our enslavement to sin that was accomplished by the Messiah Yeshua.”
Romans 3:24 CJB

Yes, salvation is free and as believers we really need to be sharing that to the lost and thirsty world!

“All you who are thirsty, come to the water! You without money, come, buy, and eat! Yes, come! Buy wine and milk without money — it’s free!”
Isaiah 55:1 CJB

Today, let’s be sharing the free gift of salvation. The world around us really needs to hear about the Good News of Salvation. People are thirsty for hope and that hope is in Yeshua!
Have a blessed day in Him!

Trust the LORD

“Then the One sitting on the throne said, Look! I am making everything new! Also He said, Write, These words are true and trustworthy!”
Revelation 21:5 CJB

All the pain and sorrow we may be in now is temporary and the LORD is going to get us through! One day soon we will be with Him for all eternity as He promises!

“For look! I create new heavens and a new earth; past things will not be remembered, they will no more come to mind.”
Isaiah 65:17 CJB

One of the cool things here is we are not gonna relive all the bad things that happened to us, we won’t even remember them! It’s a useful tip for today! We need to stop reliving all our past problems, it does us no good to relive them! Instead let’s look to our future with the LORD!

“But in my mind I keep returning to something, something that gives me hope-that the grace of Adonai is not exhausted, that His compassion has not ended. [On the contrary,] they are new every morning! How great Your faithfulness!”
Lamentations 3:21-23 CJB

Today, the world really is a mess and the life we are living is temporary, but eternity in the presence of the LORD is rapidly approaching! So let us be living for Him!
Have a blessed day knowing soon and very soon we will be with the King!
