He's Calling

“ All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. ” — John 6:37-38 (NASB1995) See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (See 1 John 3:1 NIV) Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. (Ephesians 1:4-5 NLT) With lovingkindness the heavenly Father draws us. And what a comfort to know that Yeshua accepts all who come to Him. Yeshua continually calls for ALL to come to Him and abide in Him. And like Yeshua, may we be about doing the will of our Heavenly Father Who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Bless Yahweh

Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; — Psalms 103:1-2 (LSB) The LORD is mindful of us. He pardons all our iniquities. He heals all our diseases. He redeems our lives from the pit and crowns us with lovingkindness and compassion. He satisfies our years with good things, so that our youth is renewed like the eagle. (See Psalms 103:3-5 LSB) Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts and encourages us in every trouble… (See 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 AMP) He guides us along the best pathway for our lives. He advises and watches over us. (See Psalm 32:8 NLT) God richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. (1 Timothy 6:17 AMP)  The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation, (Psalms 18:46 NASB1995). I will bless Yahweh at all times; His praise

One Day at a Time

Image
“Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.” — Matthew 6:34 (TPT) Refuse to fret about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. And every minute we spend focused on tomorrow’s issues, we are allowing the enemy to steal precious moments and energy from the present. We are empowered today to deal with the troubles we face today. Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. (Philippians 4:6 AMP) And know that the peace of God (a peace that is beyond any and all of our human understanding) will stand watch over your hearts and minds in Jesus, the Anointed One. (Philippians 4:7 VOICE) “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with what

We are Surrounded

Image
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds His people from now until forever. — Psalms 125:2 (LSB) Yahweh covers His people on all sides, not just in the past, but today and forever! …let everyone who is godly pray to Yahweh in a time when He may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach us. He is our hiding place; He preserves us from trouble; He surrounds us with songs of deliverance. Selah. (See Psalms 32:6-7) Psalms 32:10 (AMP) says: …he who trusts in and relies on the LORD shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness. And Psalms 34:7 (TPT) says: “The angel of Yahweh stooped down to listen as I prayed, encircling me, empowering me, and showing me how to escape. He will do this for everyone who fears God.” Praise God for His protection and His favor. ...let all who take refuge in You be glad, let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, that those who love Your name may exult in You. For it is You who blesses the righteous one,

Don't Despair

Image
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living. — Psalms 27:13 (LSB) Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence. (Psalms 42:5 NASB1995) Keep your hope in Yahweh alive and active. In Jeremiah 29:11 (LSB), He says: “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘plans for peace and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.” Let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (See Hebrews 4:16) “Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting—for he will never disappoint you!” (Psalms 27:14 TPT)

Dwell Securely

I have set Yahweh continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely. — Psalms 16:8-9 (LSB) Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed.” (Isaiah 28:16 NASB1995) He only is my rock and my salvation; My fortress and my defense, I will not be shaken or discouraged. (Psalms 62:6 AMP) Trust in, and remain committed to our mighty God. He is a strong refuge and a sure foundation for us. Rely on Him with unwavering confidence. Even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, fear no evil, for He is with you; His rod and His staff, will comfort you. (See Psalms 23:4) The [consistently] righteous will never be shaken, but the wicked will not inhabit the earth. — Proverbs 10:30 (AMP) 

There is No Other

And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” — Matthew 11:2-3 (NKJV) John the Baptist baptized Yeshua. In John 1:15 (NASB), he testified about Him. And in Matthew 3:17 (NKJV), he was there when the Father’s voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” What caused him to doubt if Yeshua was really the One? Did being imprisoned lead him to question the validity of what he previously knew to be true? James 1:6 says: he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. (See James 1:8)  Never let your current circumstances, no matter how dismal, lead you down the path of questioning the truth (the Word of God). When it feels like our enemy has you confined, knowing the truth will set you free. (See John 8:32) We do not have to look for another. Yeshua is the One and o
