“Thus Moshe announced to the people of Israel the designated times of Adonai.”
Leviticus 23:44 CJB

Adonai really does want us to set apart time for Him! Anytime we spend with Adonai is a blessing and will always make our day better!

“My heart said of You, Seek my face. Your face, Adonai, I will seek.”
Psalm 27:8 CJB

The more confused the world around us gets the more we need to seek Adonai for wisdom and peace!

“Seek Adonai and His strength; always seek His presence.”
Psalm 105:4 CJB

Today, designate some time to seek Adonai!
Have a blessed day!

“You are not to profane My holy name; on the contrary, I am to be regarded as holy among the people of Israel; I am Adonai, who makes you holy, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am Adonai.”
Leviticus 22:32-33 CJB

Adonai really desires us to reverence Him and lift up His holy name! Remember, He saved us from our worldly disasters!

“Yes, I will bless you as long as I live; in Your name I will lift up my hands.”
Psalm 63:4 CJB

Often times we do complain and question Adonai and we shouldn’t. Instead we should praise and glorify Him!

“I will thank You, Adonai my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify Your name forever.”
Psalm 86:12 CJB

Today, let’s just glorify Adonai and praise His holiness, instead of grumbling about the state of the world is in!
Have a blessed day praying and praising!

“Adonai said to Moshe, Speak to the cohanim, the sons of Aharon; tell them: No Cohen is to make himself unclean for any of his people who dies.”
Leviticus 21:1 CJB

I know this passage goes on to say a whole lot more, but let’s look at messing with dead things for now! God wants us to be clean and holy and not mess around with dead sins, dead news or worldly stuff that is dead! Why? Because it will just bring us down!

“On the contrary, following the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in your entire life; since the Tanakh says, You are to be holy because I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:15-16 CJB

Adonai wants us to be holy as He is holy, He wants us to live righteously not getting bogged down with the things of the world! He wants us to be aware of the world around us but not get sucked in to it!

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

Today, remember dead things don’t do anything but be dark and dead! God wants us to shine and share His light which is life!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Therefore consecrate yourselves-you people must be holy, because I am Adonai your God.”
Leviticus 20:7 CJB

Adonai really wants us to be set apart for Him, not reacting to current events like the world does, but just being set apart for Him! Realize, everything has a time and a season, all time passes and all seasons end and God already has it all worked out!

“For everything there is a season, a right time for every intention under heaven-
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to discard, a time to tear and a time to sew, a time to keep silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for WAR and a time for PEACE.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 CJB

As we can see here there really is a time and a season for everything good or bad! The only time we will have total peace is when we are in the presence of Adonai! Until then we need to simply just walk with God!

“Observe my regulations, and obey them; I am Adonai, who sets you apart to be holy.”
Leviticus 20:8 CJB

Today, there is a lot of things happening affecting everyone world wide, but our focus needs to be on Adonai! He has set us apart to be holy (not ordinary) not following the world and its panicking!
Have a blessed day sharing the hope of Adonai!

“Each should give according to what he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:7 CJB

In other words, when we give it’s to glorify and elevate our God! It also keeps us from being selfish!

“Thus every man and woman of the people of Israel whose heart impelled him to contribute to any of the work Adonai had ordered through Moshe brought it to Adonai as a voluntary offering.”
Exodus 35:29 CJB

Adonai wants us to be cheerful and generous givers, giving freely of what we have! Why? Because He has given us everything and it was totally free!

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

Today, as we have been given so much, remember we see the world around us getting worse, we as believers need to step up and give, also share the Good News of Salvation!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
