“He looked this way and that; and when he saw that no one was around, he killed the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.”
Exodus 2:12 CJB

Moses was right for defending his brothers, but instead of looking to see who was around, he should have been looking up to God above! Understand the hatred of Israel is nothing new, but instead of looking around to the world and and caring what they think we need to be looking up to Adonai!

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

Yes, all our help comes from Adonai, anything that is good comes from Him!

“Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father who made the heavenly lights; with Him there is neither variation nor darkness caused by turning.”
James 1:17 CJB

No matter how we look at things, God only does good things. There is no evil in Him at all! So we really need to look to Him for everything!

“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

So no matter what, in everything we need to look up!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people; Every boy that is born, throw into the river; but let all the girls live.”
Exodus 1:22 CJB

Nothing new here, the world really wants to destroy Israel and has been trying since the beginning! We know that this won’t succeed! Why? Because God is supreme! The world just needs to desist from its attacks!

“Desist, and learn that I am God, supreme over the nations, supreme over the earth.”
Psalm 46:10 CJB

As we see all the violence and destruction going on around us, let’s not be upset, but instead know that God is in control!

“He said: Adonai is my Rock, my fortress and deliverer.”
2 Samuel 22:2 CJB

No matter how bad things may get or even look, realize God is in complete control and nothing will succeed against Him or His people!
Have a blessed day knowing God is in control!

“Our God is in Heaven; He does whatever pleases Him.”
Psalm 115:3 CJB

God, doesn’t ask for advice or opinions, He does what He sees fit and His ways are perfect! He can’t be swayed or brought, He is in full control!

“One can devise many plans in one’s mind, but Adonai’s plan will prevail.”
Proverbs 19:21 CJB

Have a blessed day knowing God is perfect!

Genesis 49:23-24 CJB

The idea here like Yoseph we are going to be attacked, but God will defend us and strengthen us!

“They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you, says Adonai, to rescue you.”
Jeremiah 1:19 CJB

Like Jeremiah, God is warning us we will be attacked and persecuted, but understand He has overcome the world and will defend us wherever we go!

“Haven’t I ordered you, ‘Be strong, be bold’? So don’t be afraid or downhearted, because Adonai your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 CJB

We don’t need to worry about what people think! Why? Because Adonai is with us every step of the way, watching over us and defending us! We just need to stand strong in Adonai!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

“Moreover, I am giving to you a sh’khem (portion) [shoulder, ridge, share, city of Sh’khem] more than to your brothers ; I captured it from the Emori with my sword and bow.”
Genesis 48:22 CJB

Favoritism? Maybe, but this is where Yoseph’s bones will lie! When we give all, God will give all!

“I exhort you, therefore, brothers, in view of God’s mercies, to offer yourselves as a sacrifice, living and set apart of God. This will please him; it is logical Temple worship for you.”
Romans 12:1 CJB

Temple worship means you act the same way at church as you do when you walk out!

“I, Adonai, called you righteously, I took hold of you by the hand, I shaped you and made you a covenant for the people, to be light for the Goyim (nations).”

God will always give us more when we do more for Him, this doesn’t mean do to get, but do because we love Adonai and it’s reasonable to serve Him!
So let’s serve Adonai today!
