Focus on the LORD

“On seeing him, Kefa said to Yeshua, LORD, what about him?”

John 21:21 CJB

We all need to be careful of looking at other people and what they are doing or not doing! Instead, we need to focus on what the LORD is doing in us!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”

Matthew 5:16 CJB

When we work on our our own situations with the LORD, we start to see great things happen and it glorifies our Father!

“Proclaim with me the greatness of Adonai; let us exalt His name together.”

Psalm 34:3 CJB

Today, let’s focus on what the LORD is doing in us and through us and not be worried about what other people do or don’t do. Have a blessed day in the LORD!

Shalom (Peace)

“Shalom aleikhem! Yeshua repeated. Just as the Father sent Me, I myself am also sending you.”

John 20:21 CJB

The LORD wants us to have peace and He wants us to go out and share His Good News of Salvation!

“Having said this, He breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit)!”

John 20:22 CJB

The LORD doesn’t just send us out on our own, He gives us His Spirit to do His work!

“Proclaim with me the greatness of Adonai; let us exalt His name together.”

Psalm 34:3 CJB

Today, let’s share the peace of the LORD and proclaim His Good News! When we share how good He is and see people accept His salvation, it encourages us to keep going! Have a blessed day sharing the love of the LORD!

Shabbat Shalom.

The LORD lights the way

“For You, Adonai, are my lamp; Adonai lights up my darkness.”

2 Samuel 22:29 CJB

We all from time to time may end up in a dark place, depression, uneasiness or feeling lost. The good news is the LORD can and always lights the way, so look to Him. He will get us through.

“With You I can run through a whole troop of men, with my God I can leap a wall.”

2 Samuel 22:30 CJB

When we look to the LORD, no matter what our situation is with the LORD, we can always get through. Nothing can stop us.

“As for God, His way is perfect, the word of Adonai has been tested by fire; He shields all who take refuge in Him.”

2 Samuel 22:31 CJB

So if your having a rough time or just feeling out of it; remember, the LORD is our lamp and when we follow after Him, He’ll light the way!

“Adonai is alive! Blessed is my Rock! Exalted be God, the Rock of my salvation.”

2 Samuel 22:47 CJB

Have a blessed day looking to the LORD!

Let worldly stuff go!

“The tenth day of this seventh month is Yom-Kippur; you are to have a holy convocation, you are to deny yourselves, and you are to bring an offering made by fire to Adonai.”

Leviticus 23:27 CJB

The day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is the holiest day of the biblical calendar! This day is special, holy, set apart, just like us!

“You yourselves, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be cohanim set apart for God to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to Him through Yeshua the Messiah.”

1 Peter 2:5 CJB

On this day we are called to fast from the things of the world, in other words, dump the things of the world and be completely be turned over to the LORD!

“Adonai is near those with broken hearts; He saves those whose spirit is crushed.”

Psalm 34:18 CJB

Something happens when we dump the things of the world (FAST). We realize how much more we need the LORD! Today, let’s remove the worldly junk that keeps us from the LORD. Have a blessed day being filled by the LORD!

Grace

“Moshe ascended from the plains of Mo’av to Mount N’vo, to the summit of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There Adonai showed him all the land-Gil’ed as far as Dan, all Naftali, the land of Efrayim and M’nasheth, the land of Y’hudah all the way to the sea beyond, the Negev and the plain, including the valley where Yericho the City of Date-Palms is, as far away as Tzo’ar.”

Deuteronomy 34:1-3 CJB

So love the LORD here. He gives Moshe a bird’s eye view of the promised land, but then centuries later He sneaks him in! Grace!

“Then they looked and saw Moshe and Eliyahu speaking with Him.”

Matthew 17:3 CJB

Remember Eliyahu (Elijah) whined and complained and Moses got angry, neglected his kids and committed murder and the LORD still shows them GRACE by bringing them to the Mount of Transfiguration in the promised land!

“But I can enter your house because of Your great grace and love; I will bow down toward Your holy temple in reverence for You.”

Psalm 5:7 CJB

Understand, no matter how bad we’ve blown it, just confess, repent and be revived! The LORD is full of Grace, mercy and abundant forgiveness! Today, remember, just confess, repent and know that the LORD forgives! Have a blessed day!
