​With your ears you will hear a word from behind you: “This is the way; stay on it, whether you go to the right or the left. -  Isaiah 30:21, CJB 
 
You have your whole day mapped out, and then something unexpected happens.  You go to take the elevator, but take the stairs instead.  You leave your house early one day for no reason.  You decide to drive instead of fly.  Whatever it is, it’s changed the whole day.  We should not be frustrated when this happens; frustration will only lead you in the wrong direction.  On the contrary, we should seek God in it.  Whatever you had to do, God knew better.  
 
He had you take the stairs, because he knew the elevator would break down.  He had you leave early, because he knew something would happen to make you late.  He had you drive, because it was better for you to do so.  God is constantly moving in our lives, and we need to always be alert.  We make plans, but He guides our steps.  
 
Every day is a day of choices.  When you hear that small voice, pay attention, God is guiding your steps.  
 
Be a Blessing and Be Blessed!

"Be strong, be bold, don’t be afraid or frightened of them, for Adonai your God is going with you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” - Deuteronomy 31:6, CJB

The unrest we are facing in this country is gaining velocity.  It used to be that when people thought of the USA, they thought of freedom.  These days it seems that all freedoms are being dismantled, especially our religious ones.  Christianity is being attacked and Antisemitism, although it’s always been there, has increased.  So, what are we to do in all of this.  We are to stand strong and be bold.  If we are to continue to follow God, we cannot be easily disturbed or affected.  We need to be courageous and confident in our prayers and stand with Yeshua. Yeshua is the light; he’s the God who saves.  No matter where we are, he is always there inside us.  And as long as we have him inside us, we have freedom of religion.  Be bold and stand strong.  

Be a Blessing and Be Blessed!

​“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” - James (Ya’akov) 1:19-20, ESV

Social Media has been relied upon so much these days, for meetings, schools, etc.  More people have gotten on social media as too stay in touch with friends and family.   We’re also able to see a lot more of what’s going on in the world.   In light of recent events, what we see is a lot of hate toward others who are in disagreement of some things that are posted.  When we as believers receive the hate speech ourselves, we should not respond in kind.  It’s very easy to fall into another’s trap if we let the flesh lead us.  We need to sit back and ask God for wisdom on how to answer those who attack.  “ ... for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”  

Dear friends, when we are persecuted online for righteousness sake (Matt. 5:10), let us respond with grace, wisdom and reason from the word of the living God.  Our calling is not to return anger for anger or hate for hate, but instead be Messiah's Ambassadors on earth!

Be a Blessing and Be Blessed!

“If I head east, he isn’t there; if I head west, I don’t detect him, if I turn north, I don’t spot him; in the south he is veiled, and I still don’t see him. Yet he knows the way I take; when he has tested me, I will come out like gold.” 

- Job 23:8-10, Complete Jewish Bible

God is Faithful, God is good!  You see Him in the things around you, you feel Him when you pray, you know He’s there in your times of trouble.  Then there are those times when you ask, “God, where are you?”  You’re going through some kind of trial in life, and you wonder why you have to go through it.  

I believe these are the times of growing you and refining you.  You need to not let yourselves get downtrodden or to be angry at the situation you’re in, but to praise Him.  He’s gotten you through before, He will do it again.  Continue to Praise Him through the storm.  Stay courageous through the trials of life.  If you focus on the situation, you will miss what He has in store for you.  He loves you, He will never leave you.  No matter what life throws your way, He has you.  Be at peace and praise Him always.  

Be a Blessing and Be Blessed!
