Hope in the Midst

Experiencing the Shalom of God | Day 5

Beholding the Lord and having your heart be transformed by the reality of who He is, is undoubtedly one of the most powerful and life changing aspects of life. If we want our lives to be transformed into the likeness of Yeshua our Messiah, if we desire to be strong in our faith and be able to rejoice in the Lord always, in all circumstances, then we must give ourselves time to sit at His feet and meditate on His Word.

From the Beginning until Completion | Day 1

The Word of God is alive and active, speaking truth into our lives, helping us establish a firm foundation to stand on while we go through life on this side of eternity.

Perseverance in Trials | Day 7

As the last day of this journey into the book of James comes to a close, I want to draw your attention to these two verses in James where he proclaims blessings for those who have persevered. The coronavirus is an invisible enemy and it takes all of us to do our part to follow the guidelines and stay healthy and safe. We will persevere and we will come out stronger on the other side.

How to Have Community while Social Distancing | Day 5

Although this is an unprecedented time in our history, it shouldn’t give us the excuse to disengage with our communities. It may look different, but it can be just as fruitful especially with the technology we have available to us today.

Draw Near to God in This Season | Day 2

This season that we find ourselves in is very hard to comprehend. It doesn’t make sense; we don’t understand it and we didn’t expect it. Luckily for us, it’s not a surprise to the Lord and we can take confidence in the fact that despite our circumstances, He doesn’t change, and His promises are still true. Hold to that thought when you feel discouraged!

Pure Joy in the Midst of Trials

Joy and trials don’t seem like words that go together very well. When I think of joy, I think of spending time with my family, hanging out with friends, and celebrating life’s moments with others. Right now, most of us can’t do any of these things because we are in quarantine. We are either alone or with close family and we can’t see or be around other people. It doesn’t feel very joyful. It feels difficult, frustrating and confusing, among many other emotions.

Revelation 22 - The Spirit and Bride Say Come! | Day 7

I encourage you as we end this devotional week to join in with all the Believers from history, the great cloud of witnesses, all of Heaven and “set your hope completely on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Yeshua the Messiah.” (1 Peter 1:13)

Revelation 22 - Hope and Encouragement found in the Tree of Life | Day 6

We have come to the last chapter in the book of Revelation, and in this chapter we reach the crescendo of Genesis to Revelation. Now, if you want the full context of this chapter I suggest you read chapters 19-21 first and read chapter 22.

Revelation 19 - We have been invited to the Wedding Banquet of the Lamb | Day 5

I hope you can find great encouragement in these passages as I have over the years. Yeshua has invited a multitude to His wedding day and it is a glorious day! What He asks of us is to be ready ( live a faithful life of devotion to loving Him and others). When we do this, we are fulfilling good deeds (mitzvah) that make us bright and clean on His wedding day.

Revelation 15 - Finding Hope and Overcoming through Worship | Day 4

I hope you are beginning to see some of the pattern in the book of Revelation that a key element of Heaven and a key element of those who overcome difficulties on Earth both employ worship. If you are finding yourself struggling to overcome difficulties in your life or face the current situation we find ourselves in around the world, might I encourage to use the key element of worship to lift your life and find victory. Join all of Heaven and worship!
