Don't Stray

Image
All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him. — Isaiah 53:6 (NASB1995) May we never stray away from Yahweh. There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. (Proverbs 14:12 NLT) He will show us the path of life. (See Psalm 16:11a AMP) In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death. (Proverbs 12:28 NASB1995) …the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day. (Proverbs 4:18 NASB1995) When we are teachable, He will make His ways known to us, and guide us in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. (See Psalm 23:3 & 25:4 NASB1995) Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:6 NLT) Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil. (Proverbs 4:27 NLT)  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him r...

God is Faithful

Image
Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]; — Hebrews 10:23 (AMP) God is faithful [He is reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:9 AMP) Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: (Hebrews 10:35-36 NKJV) Let us exercise patient endurance, and bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising…  (See Hebrews 10:36 AMP). …know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments; (Deuteronomy 7:9 NKJV) Don't wonder waver, or wander. Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfu...

He Comforts You

Image
“ I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies and of the son of man who is made like grass, that you have forgotten the LORD your Maker, Who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth… ” — Isaiah 51:12-13 (NASB1995) Always remember Elohim, our Creator. Yahweh is a God of patience and comfort. (See Romans 15:5 NKJV) When doubts fill your mind, His comfort will give you renewed hope and cheer. (See Psalm 94:19 NLT) He comforts the downcast. (See 2 Corinthians 7:6 NASB1995) Second Corinthians 1:3 (NKJV) says, He is the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. (2 Corinthians 1:4 NLT) If you are in need of comfort, draw near to Yahweh, the very source of all that we need. If you are comforted, share the comfort of our Heavenly Father with someone who needs it. Shout for joy, O he...

Hold Fast

Image
…Christ is faithful as a Son over His [Father’s] house. And we are His house if we hold fast our confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ]. — Hebrews 3:6 (AMP) Let us not grow weary or discouraged. For we [believers] have become partakers of Christ [sharing in all that the Messiah has for us], if only we hold firm our newborn confidence [which originally led us to Him] until the end,  (Hebrews 3:14 AMP) Never let go of the hope that is set before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. (Hebrews 6:19 NLT) This hope [this confident assurance]… cannot slip and it cannot break down under whatever pressure bears upon it. (See Hebrews 6:19 AMP) Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. (See 1 Corinthians 16:13)

There is No Other

“ I am the LORD, and there is no one else; There is no God except Me. I will embrace and arm you, though you have not known Me, that people may know from the rising to the setting of the sun [the world over] that there is no one except Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other… ” — Isaiah 45:5-6 (AMP) In Isaiah 45:12 (NLT) the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: I am the one who made the earth and created people to live on it. With my hands I stretched out the heavens. All the stars are at my command. In Isaiah 45:22-23 (NASB1995) He says: “Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness and will not turn back, that to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance.” “I am Yahweh, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another or My praise to idols.” (Isaiah 42:8 HCSB) Let your trust and hope rest on Him. Set your affection and allegiance on Yahweh. H...

He Strengthens You

Image
‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ — Isaiah 41:10 (NASB1995) Have no fear for Yahweh is with when you pass through the waters, He will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you. For He is the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; He makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters. (See Isaiah 43:2-3a & 43:16 NASB1995)  The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, and with my song I shall thank Him. — Psalm 28:7 (NASB1995)

Spread it Before the LORD

Image
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD. Then Hezekiah prayed to the LORD… — Isaiah 37:14-15 (NKJV) After Hezekiah received word of the threats of his enemy (See Isaiah 36:13-20 & 37:10-13), he took it to the LORD. When you are assaulted with lies and threats from the enemy, turn to Yahweh. Our enemy is the father of lies (see John 8:44), therefore all the words that he speaks are lies. Do not be anxious or fearful. Put your trust in the God Most High. Like Hezekiah, acknowledge that Yahweh alone is enthroned above the cherubim. He is the God of all earthly kingdoms and Creator of heaven and earth. (See Isaiah 37:16) He is able to deliver us from the hand of our enemies, just as He delivered Hezekiah and the city of Judah. Isaiah 37:36-37 says, the angel of the LORD struck 185,000 in the enemy’s camp, and when the surviving men arose early in the morning, all these w...
