“Haven’t you read the passage in the Tanakh that says, The very rock which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone!
This is come from Adonai, and in our eyes it is amazing?”
Mark 12:10-11 CJB

As we see paganism happening ever so increasingly today, and the world is rejecting believers in Yeshua, we need to remember Yeshua was rejected also and He allowed it to happen! It’s all according to His plan!

“Then I will be joyful in Adonai, I will rejoice in His salvation.”
Psalm 35:9 CJB

As difficult as things are getting in the world around us, we need to just keep our eyes focused on the LORD!

“Yeshua answered, The most important is, Sh`ma Israel, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai echoed[Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one], and you are to love Adonai your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your understanding and with all your strength.”
Mark 12:29-30 CJB

No matter what, we are to love the LORD and serve Him. He’ll never let us down or reject us! Understand the world and its belongings will always let you down.

“The second is this: You are to love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other mitzvah greater than these.”
Mark 12:31 CJB

Today, the world may be falling apart and pressing in on us, but don’t worry just rejoice! We may be rejected and neglected by people, but we are still to love them!
Have a blessed day!

“They gave the answer Yeshua had told them to give, and they let them continue.”
Mark 11:6 CJB

Anytime we just do what the LORD tells us, we will always find that life will go much smoother!

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

I find it interesting that no matter how flawed we may be or how useless we think we are, the LORD has a need for us! It’s not because of our intellect, skills or popularity, it’s because He loves us and it gives Him great joy to see us used for His purpose!

“For Adonai takes delight in His people, He crowns the humble with salvation.”
Psalm 149:4 CJB

Today, we really need to be listening for the instruction of the LORD. The best way to get that is to be digging into His word! Also, no matter how you may feel, know that the LORD takes great joy and pleasure in us!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Yeshua looked around and said to His talmidim (disciples), How hard it is going to be for people with wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!”
Mark 10:23 CJB

This has always been a problem in the world, even in the body of believers. We are too concerned with our wealth and health! We are focused on the world and its trappings and ignore the greater things of the LORD and His Kingdom!

“The talmidim (disciples) were astounded at these words; but Yeshua said to them again, My friends, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God!”
Mark 10:24 CJB

It’s easy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven when we look to the LORD. It is only difficult when we seek the world and its trappings.

“It’s easier for a camel to pass through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.”
Mark 10:25 CJB

Today, we need to know and be reminded that the LORD doesn’t look at our financial status, our health or our positions! Instead He looks at our heart. Are we willing to sell all to follow Him? Remember, even if we did sell all to follow the LORD, He would easily replace that and more! Remember, we can’t out give or out do God!
Have a blessed day giving our all to the LORD!

“Yeshuah said to him, What do you mean, if you can? Everything is possible to someone who has trust!”
Mark 9:23 CJB

What the LORD is getting at here is life is filled with all kinds of obstacles and we need to trust that the LORD is going to get us through. He may not give us what we think we want, but He will get us through no matter what! We just need to trust!

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

We all have times where we believe in the LORD, but don’t believe He is gonna deal with our little problems, we just lack trust. We need to be reminded that God is taking care of things!

“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 God has a plan and we are part of it. We just need to be reminded of that! How? By remembering our past situations He got us through and by going through His word, reading His promises!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Adonai went ahead of them in a column of cloud during the daytime to lead them on their way, and at night in a column of fire to give them light; thus they could travel both by day and by night.”
Exodus 13:21 CJB

The LORD gave the children of Israel a cloud to cover them from the hot sun and a fire to keep them warm at night! He also used this pillar of cloud and fire to lead them, it was their GPS (God Positioning Satellite)! The LORD guides us and leads us daily with His word today!

“Your word is a lamp for my foot and a light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105 CJB

Today, we can feel lost and confused, not knowing which way to turn or go. Maybe we need to be spending more time in His word, searching for His direction!

“Teach me to do your will because you are my God. Let your good Spirit guide me on ground that is level.”
Psalm 143:10 CJB

Our God is good and desires the best for us! We need to be doing our part by searching His word for direction! Let’s spend more time in His word (God Positioning Satelite) and less time with other garbage!
Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!
