“Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Luke 14:11 CJB

We all need to be real careful of thinking we are better or we know more than anyone else! We need to be humble!

“Before being ruined, a person’s heart is proud; before being honored, a person must be humbled.”
Proverbs 18:12 CJB

Everyone can be full of themselves from time to time and we all can be guilty of being a little prideful! It really is hard to exalt ourselves when we are praising the LORD!

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

Today, let’s spend more time exalting and following the LORD and less time looking at ourselves!
May your day be richly blessed!

“No, I tell you. Rather, unless you turn from your sins, you will die similarly.”
Luke 13:5 CJB

Understand it’s not turn from someone else’s sin it’s yours and my sin that needs to be dealt with first! It’s always easier to point out someone else’s sin than our own!

“Someone asked Him, Are only a few people being saved?”
Luke 13:23 CJB

We need to be careful of making ministry about buildings, ministry projects or even ministries themselves that often times just distract from the main issue! Sin! We need to repent and share others how to repent! The sad thing is many people will miss being saved, because they never repent!

“Therefore, repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be erased.”
Acts 3:19 CJB

Jesus tells us throughout the Gospels to repent, because the Kingdom of God is at hand! As we look around today, we can see that the world needs to repent and so do we!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“My friends, I tell you: don’t fear those who kill the body but then have nothing more they can do.”
Luke 12:4 CJB

Don’t get all caught in what the world can do to you, be more concerned on what the LORD can and will do!

“I will show you whom to fear: fear Him who after killing you has authority to throw you into Gei-Hinnom (Hell)! Yes, I tell you, this is the one to fear!”
Luke 12:5 CJB

Our problem is we allow disease, government and daily life to control us. Remember it is the LORD who is in complete control and that is who we need to fear!

“Why, every hair on your head has been counted! Don’t be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows.”
Luke 12:7 CJB

Today, don’t get caught up in the world, but instead get caught up in the LORD! When we fear God, we will never fear man!
May you have a blessed day!

“Moreover, I myself say to you: keep asking, and it will be given to you; keep seeking, and you will find; keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.”
Luke 11:9 CJB

The key thing here is to keep calling on the LORD, not to get our way, but I believe to see His way! Funny thing happens when we call on the LORD on a matter or a need, we start to see things more His way, the more we call upon Him!

“Then you will delight yourself in Adonai, and He will give you your heart’s desire. Commit your way to Adonai; trust Him, and He will act.”
Psalm 37:4-5 CJB

The idea here isn’t that the LORD is going to grant our every wish, but when we commit our way to Him, He starts to put His desires into our heart and then they become ours!

“He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them.”
Psalm 145:19 CJB

Today, let’s dedicate our lives to the LORD and watch how He changes our hearts and desires for Him!
May your day be richly blessed!

“They are to make me a sanctuary, so that I may live among them.”
Exodus 25:8 CJB

The LORD really wants to be part of our lives, He desires to be in every aspect of our lives!

“Throne of Glory, exalted from the beginning! Our Holy Sanctuary.”
Jeremiah 17:12 CJB

As much as the LORD wants to be among us, we need to desire being with Him in everything! Honestly, nothing else really matters, our lives really need to revolve around the LORD!

“In My Father’s house are many places to live. If there weren’t, I would have told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you. Since I am going and preparing a place for you, I will return to take you with Me; so that where I am, you will be also.”
John 14:2-3 CJB

With all the messes going on in the world today, we will always be better off living for the LORD! Because one day we will be dwelling with Him in His sanctuary in Heaven!
Have a blessed day living for the LORD!
Shabbat Shalom!
