“Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.”

Genesis 30:22

Like Rachel, we can feel everyone around us is being blessed by the LORD and we are just forgotten! Not true! The LORD knows exactly where we are and what we are going through. While we are waiting, He prepares us for what’s next!

“Rest in the LORD, and wait for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.”

Psalm 37:7

Being patient and waiting can be hard. We want to get out there and shake things up, make things happen! Often times, when we do things on our own strength, we tend to make messes. The best thing to do is wait for the LORD to move, even when we see those around us prospering.

“I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope.”

Psalm 130:5

Today, realize the LORD hasn’t forgotten you. He knows your situation, so just keep digging into His word, walking in His way and following His instructions! He always gets us through. Have a blessed day waiting on Him!

“When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.”

Genesis 29:31

We can also feel unloved by family, friends and even our spouses; what we need to remember is the LORD loves us!

You may ask then why do I feel unloved?

“For whom the LORD loves He corrects, just as a father the son in whom he delights.”

Proverbs 3:12

Maybe that’s how you feel today, unloved by people and chastened by the LORD! The good news is the LORD really loves you, if you’re feeling corrected by Him, understand you’re just being directed to walk in His ways!

“For You are my rock and fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.”

Psalm 31:3

Realize, the obstacles that are in front of us, the LORD allows to guide us on His path! So don’t look to people, but look to the LORD, His love never fails!

Have a blessed day in Him!

“Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Genesis 28:14

The LORD keeps His promises to us no matter how many times we blow it or get distracted and walk in the wrong direction! Just call on the LORD when we do blow it!

“I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.”

2 Samuel 22:4

While we are walking through life, realize the LORD goes before us and is right there with us as we go through life.

“No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Joshua 1:5

Just like He did to Joshua the LORD promises us He won’t leave us or forsake us, as Hebrews 13:5 reminds us; “For He Himself said, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.”

Today, let’s walk boldly and confidently with our LORD today, knowing the LORD is with us everywhere we go! Have a blessed day and a blessed week.

“Come to Me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28 CJB

We can all have days where we are worn out, tired physically and spiritually from laboring! It may be the bills are overwhelming you, lack of work, lack of health and/or your relationships are in the tank! Jesus says come unto me!

“Take My yoke upon you and LEARN from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:29-30 CJB

The key is to allow Jesus into your life, let Him take over and learn from Him! He has experienced every feeling or struggle we have: pain, sadness and loneliness. We need to just let go, not my will but His will be done!

“Desist, and learn that I am God, supreme over nations, supreme over the earth.”

Psalm 46:10 CJB

Whatever you may be struggling or wrestling with, just drop it and let it go! Grab unto the LORD and let Him take over and He will give you the rest and the comfort you are longing for!

Have a blessed day in Him.

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”

Matthew 10:16

The point here is that wolves attack and devour and doves are peaceful! What the LORD wants us to do is be bold about sharing His good news, but also be wise on how we do it!

“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials.” James 1:2

So glad the LORD knows all, He allows various situations to happen in order for us to share His good news, so be wise!

“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.”

Matthew 10:32-33

Today, let us be wise and look for the opportunity’s to share Jesus! Be bold and be wise, be kind and be firm and know when to just walk away!

Have a blessed day, Shabbat Shalom!
