“May Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as in Heaven.”
Matthew 6:10 CJB

No matter what we see, hear or think, remember, the LORD’S will is going to be done!

“Yours, Adonai, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory and the majesty; for everything in heaven and on earth is Yours. The kingdom is Yours, Adonai; and You are exalted as head over all.”
1 Chronicles 29:11 CJB

Things may look out of control and in complete chaos, but know the LORD is in complete control and His Kingdom is coming, so be part of it!

“I will show My greatness and holiness, making Myself known in the sight of many nations; then they will know that I am Adonai.”
Ezekiel 38:23 CJB

Today, let’s rejoice and be glad, knowing we belong to the LORD! So let the world around us know He is on the throne!
Have a blessed day in Him!

Shabbat Shalom

“How blessed are those who are persecuted because they pursue righteousness! For the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.”
Matthew 5:10 CJB

Again, the LORD wants us to look forward to spending eternity with Him! We also need to realize, as believers, we will have persecution! In the Talmud, which was around before Jesus and I believe it was inspired by the LORD, it says: “A person should always try to be among the persecuted rather than the persecutor.” Some good words to live by!

“Don’t let yourselves be disturbed. Trust in God and trust in Me. In My Father’s house are many places to live. If there weren’t I would of told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you.”
John 14:1-2 CJB

We need to be reminded that this world isn’t getting better and, as believers, things are getting tougher, but don’t worry!

“The world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.”
John 15:18 CJB

The LORD warns us that if you feel hated you’re in good company! If you’re sharing the Good News of Salvation, you will be attacked!

“Dear friends, don’t regard as strange the fiery ordeal occurring among you to test you, as if something extraordinary were happening to you.”
1 Peter 4:12 CJB

All our biblical forefathers were persecuted, so realize so will we be, so don’t think it strange! Jesus says stand strong and share the love of Yeshua (God is Salvation) and in that we will find blessings!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“From that time on, Yeshua began proclaiming, Turn from your sins to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near!”
Matthew 4:17 CJB

The message of Jesus always is repent, turn around and come to Yeshua! Also the phrase “Kingdom of Heaven” is repeated 32 times in Matthew and “Kingdom of God” 5 times! Jesus wants us there, so we need to turn from sin and turn to Him!

“Turn from your sins to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near!”
Matthew 3:2 CJB

With all that is going on in the world around us, we should really make Jesus and going to the Kingdom of Heaven our main focus and priority for ourselves and to share!

“For Adonai is good, His grace continues forever, and His faithfulness lasts through all generations.”
Psalm 100:5 CJB

Today, remember the LORD is good, faithful and keeps all His promises! He said there would be tribulation in the world and He went ahead to prepare a place for us in His Kingdom! That should give us great hope and joy.
Have a blessed day in Him!

“It was during those days that Yochanan the Immerser (John the Baptist) in the desert of Y’hudah and began proclaiming the message, Turn from your sins to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near!”
Matthew 3:1-2 CJB

The message John the Baptist was preaching, to repent (turn from your sins), is the same message that needs to be preached today!

“Then, if My people, who bear My name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 CJB

We are all sinners, believers and non believers alike, we all need to repent! The problem is we want blessings, joy and forgiveness. Unfortunately, we tend to forget we need to humble ourselves and repent, then turn from our wicked ways and receive the free gift of Salvation!

“Humble yourselves before the LORD, and He will lift you up.”
James 4:10 CJB

Today, let’s remember, we all need to check ourselves and don’t be afraid to tell folks to repent! People really need to hear the message of repentance to receive forgiveness!
Have a blessed day!

“However, when he heard that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod as king of Y’hudah, he was afraid to go there. Warned in a dream, he withdrew to the Galil and settled in a town called Natzeret, so that what had been spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he will be called a Natzrati.”
Matthew 2:22-23 CJB

Two things here: first, we can be afraid or fearful of things going on in the world around us, but we also need to know that the LORD has a plan! Just like here, Joseph was afraid, but still continued on with the LORD’S directive!

“For You rescued me from death, You kept my feet from stumbling, so that I can walk in God’s presence, in the light of life.”
Psalm 56:13 CJB

The second thing we need to see here is that Jesus is a total fulfillment of all the old testament prophets! In Isaiah 11, Jesus is called the branch of Jesse (King David’s father) and here Jesus is called a “Nazarite (a branch)”!

“When those days come, at that time, I will cause to spring up for David a Branch of Righteousness. He will do what is just and right in the land.”
Jeremiah 33:15 CJB

Today, even though the world may be filled with evil and wickedness, we need to remember God uses difficulties to protect us and direct us!
Have a blessed day knowing the LORD has it all covered!
