Rest in the LORD

“Tell the people of Israel, You are to observe My Shabbats; for this is a sign between me and you through all your generations; so that you will know that I am Adonai, who sets you apart for Me.”
Exodus 31:13 CJB

We need to understand that Shabbat isn’t made to go to Church or Synagogue, that’s something we get to do. It’s made for us to rest in the LORD take a break from the ordinary days of the week, it’s for our own personal walk with the LORD!

“My safety and honor rest on God. My strong Rock and refuge are in God.”
Psalm 62:7 CJB

The LORD really wants us to rest in Him, take a day to just recharge and spend time with Him!

“Come to Me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28 CJB

Today, with all the craziness of life, we all simply need to take a break! Shut off everything TVs, radios and internet and just spend some time with the LORD, resting in Him!
Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!

Pray

“When He arrived, He said to them, Pray that you won’t be put to the test.”
Luke 22:40 CJB

Often times we fall into problems because we don’t pray! We really need to be praying everywhere and about everything!

“Pray regularly.”
1 Thessalonians 5:17 CJB

What does praying regularly mean? Praying when we get up, when we go out the door and everywhere we go! In other words, we need to constantly have the LORD upon our lips!

“I will bless Adonai at all times; His praise will always be in my mouth.”
Psalm 34:1 CJB

Our days will always be better when we continually have the praises of the LORD upon our lips! We all need to be spending more time praying about everything, everyone and everywhere!
Have a blessed day in the LORD!
Shabbat Shalom!

Hope in the LORD

“But keep watch on yourselves, or your hearts will become dulled by carousing, drunkenness and worries of everyday living, and that Day will be sprung upon you suddenly like a trap!”
Luke 21:34 CJB

We all need to be careful about the days we are living in! Things are really upside down and backwards, but don’t let your hearts be troubled, Yeshua has overcome the world!

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who change darkness into light and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter!”
Isaiah 5:20 CJB

God has warned us that these days are coming, which seem to be all around us, that evil will be considered good! But be of good cheer and filled with the hope of the LORD!

“Stay alert, always praying that you will have the strength to escape all the things that will happen and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.”
Luke 21:36 CJB

Today, let’s not get caught up in the world, but instead be caught up in the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!

Do you belong to the LORD?

“Then, He said to them, give the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor. And give God what belongs to God!”
Luke 20:25 CJB

What we need to see here is that we belong to God, because He paid for us! We don’t belong to the world and its paganism!

“You were bought at a price. so do not become slaves of other human beings.”
1 Corinthians 7:23 CJB

Yeshua gave His life for us the, ultimate sacrifice, and what we need to do is use this life for His glory!

“I exhort you, therefore, brothers, in view of God’s mercies, to offer yourselves as a sacrifice, living and set apart for God. This will please Him; it is the logical Temple worship for you.”
Romans 12:1 CJB

Today, let’s be less concerned about the world and its trappings. Instead let’s be more concerned living with and sharing the greatness of the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!

The LORD has need

“If anyone asks why you are untying it, tell him, The LORD needs it.”
Luke 19:31 CJB

Our LORD can and does ask us to do things that sound crazy or are way out of our comfort zone! The answer is the LORD needs it!

“As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, Why are you untying the colt? And they said, Because the LORD needs it.”
Luke 19:33-34 CJB

Believe it or not the LORD has need of you and me too, it’s not because of personality or our great skills! It’s simply because He loves us and wants us to be part of what He is doing!

“This is the day Adonai has made, a day for us to rejoice and be glad.”
Psalm 118:24 CJB

Today, let’s look for opportunities to be used by the LORD, be on the lookout for people who need to be untied by the LORD!
Have a blessed day knowing the LORD wants us and needs us!
