“To the people of Isra’el the glory of Adonai looked like a raging fire on the top of the mountain. “
Exodus 24:17 CJB

The glory of Adonai is raging power, but in perfect control!

“Adonai, I know that the way of humans is not in their control, humans are not able to direct their steps as they walk.”
Jeremiah 10:23 CJB

God is in control and has all things covered, even the minor details of our lives!

“As high as the sky is above the earth are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:9 CJB

Man’s ways never are complete, but God’s ways are full of faith, mercy and grace! He is perfect in control power!
Have a blessed day knowing He has you covered!

“They are not to live in your land; otherwise they will make you sin against Me by ensnaring you to serve their gods.”
Exodus 23:33 CJB

We all need to be careful how we interact with the world around us! The problem many believers have is they forget that we are just passing through, not digging in! When we get comfortable in the world is when we start to serve its gods!

“If it seems bad to youth serve Adonai, then choose today whom you are going to serve! Will it be the gods your ancestors served beyond the River? Or the gods of Emori, in whose land you are living? As for me and my household, we will serve Adonai!”
Joshua 24:15 CJB

Still a great question to ask ourselves today! Who do you serve? God or man made gods?

“Serve Adonai with gladness. Enter His presence with joyful songs.”
Psalm 100:2 CJB

Today, with all the distractions going on around us, let’s not forget that we need to serve and worship Adonai!
Have a blessed day!

“You are to be My specially separated people. Therefore you are not to eat any flesh torn by wild animals in the countryside; rather, throw it out for the dogs.”
Exodus 22:30 CJB

Yes we are set apart for Adonai to be His special holy people, not ordinary like the rest of the world! The world around us acts like wild animals and we need to be separated from them!

“But you are a chosen people, the King’s cohanim, a holy nation, a people for God to possess! Why? In order for you to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”
1 Peter 2:9 CJB

We always need to be reminded of this: God has chosen us out of the world to be His representatives (ambassadors) to the world!

“I, Adonai, called you righteously, I took hold of you by the hand, I shaped you and made a covenant for the people, to be a light for the Goyim (Nations), so that you can open blind eyes, free the prisoners from confinement, those living in darkness from the dungeon.”
Isaiah 42: 6-7 CJB

Like the Jewish people, Adonai called us to be separate from the world to be light and share about His glorious Good News of Salvation!
Have a blessed day knowing you’ve been set free to be His light!

“If you purchase a Hebrew slave, he is to work six years; but in the seventh, he is to be given freedom without having to pay anything.”
Exodus 21:2 CJB

Interesting that the first law is to treat slaves with decency! Why? The Hebrews were mistreated slaves for four hundred years and God has no desire for men to be slaves, that’s why we have freedom in Him!

“What the Messiah has freed us for is freedom! Therefore, stand firm, and don’t let yourselves be tied up again to a yoke of slavery.”
Galatians 5:1 CJB

Adonai has freed us from slavery so we can be free from the bondage of sin! So we no longer have to be bound up and slaves of sin! Yeshua has set us free!

“Come to Me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest. 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 11:28-30 CJB

God is telling us that His way is easy and we are always better off doing all things His way!
So let’s walk in His ways today!
