“S’rafim stood over him, each with six wings — two for covering his face, two for covering his feet and two for flying. They were crying out to each other, “More holy than the holiest holiness is Adonai - Tzva’ot! The whole earth is filled with his glory!” ~ Isaiah 6:2-3, CJB

For he is holy. He is worthy, deserving, and good. Even the angels acknowledge this. Proclaim it as you wake up; proclaim it as you prepare for your day. Share it with your children, see it in all of nature. Let us all proclaim today and every day that Yeshua is Lord over all the earth. Let us not be afraid to speak this truth, while others want us to believe a lie. Let us no longer be silent when confronted by the enemy. Proclaim his Good News to all who will hear.

Be a Blessing and Be Blessed!

“Do nothing out of rivalry or vanity; but, in humility, regard each other as better than yourselves — look out for each other’s interests and not just for your own.” - Philippians 2:3-4, CJB
 
In our sinful nature, we all have the inclination to be hurt over something someone did or said to us. Question is, how do we as believers behave when this happens? We read our Bibles, we pray, we sing praises to the Lord. We model this to our children, but what else do we model to our children. Children learn from what they see and hear. There are many that when they get hurt by someone, want to hurt back. They may say hurtful things or gossip behind their backs. Unfortunately, our children see this too, and begin to model that same behavior. As it says in Matt. 7:12, “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you…” We learn this at congregation, but somehow fail to bring it home. It is important that we teach our children and grandchildren how to handle conflict. When we hurt, we pray. Ask God how to handle the hard relationships in our lives. Talk things out with people. Let them know you still love them. Our children model from what they see and hear. All lives are at stake.

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you; don’t be distressed, for I am your God. I give you strength, I give you help, I support you with my victorious right hand.” - Isaiah 41:10, CJB

How many times have any of us found ourselves in situations that we knew only God could get us out of. Problem is sometimes we get so stressed; we pray from a place of want instead of a place of need. We get so desperate in praying that we don’t hear or see his answer. This can make us think he’s not answering at all. It’s the choices we make during these times that can hinder God’s will in our lives. These bad choices can send us down a different path.

This reminds me of the parable of the flood. A flood comes to town, a man is given every chance to be rescued. He’s declines every chance and says he’s waiting for God to save him. He says this, because he’s so wrapped up in a vision of God physically pulling him to safety, that he doesn’t see that God is sending people to save him.

There comes a time where we need to step out of God’s way and let him do what he’s gonna do. God may not always give us what we want, but he always gives us what we need, and we need to be okay with that. Let’s focus on God and not ourselves. 

Be a Blessing and Be Blessed!

“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

Yesterday was Independence Day, a day when, as a people and as a country, we celebrated our freedom from tyranny. Just as Yeshua died on the cross so all God’s people would be free, our forefathers wrote the Declaration of Independence so that as a nation, we would be free.  
 
This country was built on biblical principles declaring,
 
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness … “.

One of those liberties is to worship as we please.  Unfortunately, there are those who continue to seek to take that right away, but we know that what God has given us, no man can take away.  He dwells among us and within us; His Word is in our hearts and our minds.  He will not leave us or forsake us.  Yeshua is our Lord, there is no other.  

As long as we are God’s people, let us influence the oppressors and not be influenced by them. 

Be a Blessing and Be Blessed!
