He won’t walk in step with the wicked, nor share the sinner’s way, nor be found sitting in the scorner’s seat.

He is never dry, never fainting, ever blessed, ever ...

For the day of Yahweh is near in the valley of decision.” (See Joel 3:14 LSB) James 1:6 (NKJV) says, he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

You follow Me!” — John 21:21-22 (NASB1995) Peter asked the Lord about another disciple, but Yeshua re-directed his attention back to the main thing, following Him. Sometimes we try to evaluate someone else’s walk with Yahweh. However, the Word of God says to fix our eyes on Yeshua and follow Him. Not to worry about how another person is running their race.  Likewise, we shouldn’t be worried about what other people think about how we are running our race. This will cause us to be defensive and sometimes stop us from fulfilling our mission and purpose, for fear of what others may think. We are to focus on doing what our Heavenly Father called us to do and know that our walk is unique. We each have a different course to complete, however, as members of one body, they lead us to unity and eternal life in Christ. Yahweh will show us the pat...

The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” (John 10:11 NKJV)

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. — Psalm 71:16 (NKJV) How shall we accomplish all that God has called us to?

Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.” — Matthew 2:1-2 (NLT) After Jesus was born, the wise men saw His star, left their homeland, and made the journey to worship Him.

As wise men and women, may we seek Him first in all that we do, and leave everything that concerns us in His mighty capable hands.
