Redeemed

“I will betroth you to Me forever; yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness, in justice, in grace and in compassion;”

Hosea 2:21 CJB

This is what the LORD does for us, He takes us as we are. All we have to do is call out to Him and repent! Then He redeems and cleans us!

“Let those redeemed by Adonai say it, those He redeemed from the power of the foe.”

Psalm 107:2 CJB

No matter how much we think we’ve blown it or are blowing it, remember, we are redeemed by the LORD and belong to Him!

“I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, and you will know Adonai.”

Hosea 2:22 CJB

Realize, we belong to the LORD we are His bride and He has redeemed us! Have a blessed day sharing the free gift of salvation!

The LORD heals

“”When that day comes, I will break the bow of Israel in the Yizre’al Valley.”

Hosea 1:5 CJB

The LORD always gives us warnings that we should do the right thing! When we refuse to listen He will allow the situation we got into break us!

“But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.”

Psalm 37:15 CJB

When we are broken or scattered (Jezreel) don’t get angry or upset, just repent and look at the way out(Jesus) as a moment to learn!

“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

So don’t dwell upon our mistakes, but instead call on the LORD repent and be healed and know the LORD is the only way out! Have a blessed day calling on the LORD!

Seek the LORD

“The children fought with each other inside her so much that she said, If it’s going to be like this, why go on living? So she went to inquire of Adonai, who answered her, There are two nations in your womb. From birth they will be two rival peoples. One of these peoples will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”

Genesis 25:22-23 CJB

We all have a war going on inside us of one degree or the other. Doing and saying the right things or doing and saying the wrong things! Remember, we never regret what we don’t do or say!

“I don’t understand my own behavior-I don’t do what I want to do; instead, I do the very thing I hate!”

Romans 7:15 CJB

So knowing that we all are vulnerable of doing things we hate, which is sin, hat do we do? Here we see Rebekah did the right thing; she inquired of the LORD!

“Those who know Your name put their trust in You, for you have not abandoned those who seek You, Adonai.”

Psalm 9:10 CJB

So even though we may have a war going on inside and around us, what we get to do is seek the LORD and get His plan for us!

Have a blessed day seeking the LORD in everything!

Shabbat Shalom.

The LORD understands

“I heard this, but I couldn’t understand what it meant; so I asked, LORD, what will be the outcome of all this?”

Daniel 12:8 CJB

Many things happen in life poverty, serious health issues and deaths, to name a few things. Life: can have obstacles and serious changes that seem to come out of nowhere and we often ask “LORD” what does this mean?

“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

Things can and do happen to us that throw us off guard or side swipe us, but we shouldn’t be discouraged or shaken! Why? Because the LORD has us and it will work out even if we don’t see it yet!

“Furthermore, we know that God causes everything to work together for good of those who love God and are called in accordance with His purpose.”

Romans 8:28 CJB

Know this if you love God, then you are called to His purposes and everything is going to be all right! Have a blessed day seeking Him for understanding.

Shabbat Shalom!

Be Thankful

“Those who act wickedly against the covenant he will corrupt with his blandishments(flattery), but the people who know their God will stand firm and prevail.”

Daniel 11:32 CJB

In other words, flattery really gets you nowhere, but by standing firm on what God says, we will prevail or overcome every situation!

“A person who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his own steps.”

Proverbs 29:5

Encouraging people in the LORD is good thing, flattering to get gain or position really is sin! We who know the LORD need to encourage others and by doing so, we end up encouraging ourselves also!

“Put your hope in Adonai, be strong, and let your heart take courage! Yes, put your hope in Adonai!”

Psalm 27:14 CJB

Today, let’s really be thankful that we have the LORD who encourages us, strengthens us and gives us victory in Him! Have a blessed day sharing and encouraging people in the LORD!
