“I’m not worthy of all the love and faithfulness you have shown your servant, since I crossed the Yarden with my staff. But now I have become two camps.”
Genesis 32:11 CJB

Do we panic when it seems like the world is crashing in on us. Like Jacob, we do we start to try and help God out by manipulating situations?

“My help comes from Adonai, the maker of heaven and earth.”
Psalm 121:2 CJB

What we need to realize is the LORD allows situations to happen to give us opportunities to call upon Him and see what He will do!

“Put your hope in Adonai, be strong, and let your heart take courage!”
Psalm 27:14 CJB

Life is full of all kinds of trying situations. Remember, the LORD is always the answer!
Have a blessed day in Him.
Shabbat Shalom!

“For the household gods talk nonsense, the diviners have seen a lie; their dreams convey delusions, and the comfort they offer is vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep in distress from lack of a shepherd.”
Zechariah 10:2 CJB

Sounds like today. We have many household gods in our homes talking nonsense, the T.V., internet and social media to name a few! We all need to be careful of what we take in, hear and see! Also we have a lack of shepherds out there just teaching the word of God!

“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

One of the biggest things we need to be careful of is accepting worldly views! We all need to be using the filter of the word of God and seeking His views!

“When you seek Me, you will find Me, provided you seek for Me wholeheartedly.”
Jeremiah 29:13 CJB

Today, we may have to turn down or turn off the noise around us and really spend some time seeking and listening for the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!

“On that day Adonai their God will save them as the flock of His people; for they will be like gems in a crown, sparkling over his countryside.”
Zechariah 9:16 CJB

On that day, in that day or the day of the LORD are all terms used to let us know there is a day coming! That day, God will save, God will judge and God will make all things right, but not until that day which hasn’t arrived yet!

“But I will call on God, and Adonai will save me.”
Psalm 55:16 CJB

Until that day comes, we need to continue calling on to the LORD. We need to be communicating with Him continually.

“Adonai made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of disaster.”
Proverbs 16:4 CJB

Again, we need to understand, the world around us is fallen and the LORD will deal with it on His day of choosing! What we can do is rejoice in the LORD, knowing His day is coming soon and evil will be dealt with!
So may your day be richly blessed knowing God has got it covered!

“Adonai says, I am returning to Tziyon (Zion), and I will live in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). Then Yerushalayim will be called Truth City, Adonai-Tzva’ot’s (Lord Almighty) Mountain, the Mountain of the Holy One.”
Zechariah 8:3 CJB

This is good news for us to know that one day the LORD will make all things right and His city Jerusalem will be known as the City of Truth, because He is the God of truth! So no matter how things may look now, know the LORD is going to shine His light on the darkness, which will flee!

“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

Even though we see all the ugly, dark and insidious things going on around us we all need to be remind that the LORD is coming and will make all things right in His timing!

“Adonai is my light and salvation; whom do I need to fear? Adonai is the stronghold of my life; of whom should I be afraid?”
Psalm 27:1 CJB

Today, understand no matter who is in charge or wins an election, Jesus is still in absolute control and we have nothing to fear!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“In the past Adonai-Tzva-ot said, Administer true justice. Let everyone show mercy and compassion to his brother.”
Zechariah 7:9 CJB

Nothing has changed. The LORD wants us to be just and merciful towards one another! Honestly, we all can be guilty of having a lack of justice, mercy and compassion towards others!

“Don’t oppress widows, orphans, foreigners or poor people. Don’t plot evil against each other.”
Zechariah 7:10 CJB

We all could look in the mirror and say we are guilty of one of these things! If so, take time to repent and make some corrections. The world around us could use a lot more compassion.

“How blessed are those who show mercy! For they will be shown mercy.”
Matthew 5:7 CJB

Jesus tells us if we show mercy we will receive mercy and we all could use some mercy! Today, let’s try to be kinder to one another and look for opportunities to share the good news of salvation instead of being judgmental!
Have a blessed day in Him!
