“When the other talmidim told him, We have seen the LORD, he replied, Unless I see the nail marks in His hands, put my finger into the place where the nails were and put my hands into His side, I refuse to believe it.”
John 20:25 CJB

We all can be like Thomas and doubt the LORD from time to time and need to see evidence of His existence from time to time!

“Instantly the father of the child exclaimed, I do trust-help my lack of trust.”
Mark 9:24 CJB

Like this father and even Thomas, we can believe. We just need to see something to encourage us or help our lack of trust!

“So trust comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through a word proclaimed about Messiah.”
Romans 10:17 CJB

Today, if you’re feeling a bit out of it, feeling beat up or just lacking in the faith department, good news you’re not alone. We all fail at that from time to time! The best thing we can do is spend some time with the LORD. He will meet you and encourage you!
Have a blessed day holding onto the LORD!

Nothing has changed, people are still trying to kick Yeshua out of every public place and diminish Him as King!

“Fools say in their hearts, There is no God. They deal corruptly, their deeds are vile, not one does what is right.”

Today, even though the world is rejecting the LORD at every turn, we need to step in the gap and praise Him everywhere!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Yeshua said to Kefa, Put your sword back in its scabbard! This is the cup the Father has given Me; am I not to drink it?”
John 18:11 CJB

Often times we can be like Kefa (Peter) and pull our swords out in reaction, instead of taking a deep breath to see what the LORD is going to do!

“Desist, and learn that I am God, supreme over the nations, supreme over the earth.”
Psalm 46:10 CJB

We all can think or believe that we have to do something, say something or react to something instead of just realizing that the LORD allows things to happen for His purposes!

“Furthermore, we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called in accordance with His purpose.”
Romans 8:28 CJB

Today, realize even though we may not understand or agree with things going on around us, know that the LORD has it all figured out. Most of the time we should take a deep breath, remain silent and pray!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“I don’t ask you to take them out of the world, but to protect them from the Evil One.”

Have a blessed day serving the LORD!

“Adonai said to Moshe.”
Leviticus 6:12 CJB

When the LORD speaks, it’s because the LORD has good words for us that will benefit our lives greatly!

“He sends His word out over the earth, His command runs swiftly.”
Psalm 147: 15 CJB

Realize, the LORD is always speaking to us, He’s always giving us directions and instructions, but are we listening?

“After the earthquake, fire broke out; but Adonai was not in the fire. And after the fire came quiet, subdued voice.”
1 Kings 19:12 CJB

There is a lot of noise out there! Noisy politicians, news media and social media. Realize the LORD isn’t loud and noisy! We just need to be quiet and listen for His still small voice. Why? Because He is speaking!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
