Proverbs 11:28-31 He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like sprouting leaves. 29 Those who trouble their families inherit the wind, and the fool becomes slave to the wise. 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise wins souls. 31 If the righteous are paid what they deserve here on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner! Verse 28 starts this out with a clear warning: He who trusts in his riches

Proverbs 3:25-26 Don’t be afraid of sudden terror or destruction caused by the wicked, when it comes; 26 for you can rely on Adonai; he will keep your foot from being caught in a trap. It might take us a while to get through Proverbs when we only get two verses at a time, but as I said in the beginning, when we read a whole chapter we end up missing pieces that really are important! Take these two verse: Don't be afraid! One of the ??? times in the Bible that we are told to n

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in Adonai with all your heart; do not rely on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him; then he will level your paths. Two verses in Proverbs that are probable the most quoted and well-known. This version is the Complete Jewish Bible. I don't always use it. I also appreciate the ESV and for certain situations The Passion Translation. However, I appreciate these two verses in the CJB. I love the word Adonai. When I sing I love to use the

Restored Ministries was once again the inspiration for this blog a year ago. Thankful to share them again with you. Night six of Chanukah we light the LOVE candle again… Five candles and reminders of who HE wants us to be brings us to FAITHFULNESS. What does it mean to have faithfulness inside of us? One of the most popular verses about faithfulness is in the book of Lamentations. Putting several together we read: Lamentations 3:21-24 But in my mind I keep returning to someth

This article was written for Restored Ministries. I give them credit for the inspiration to write it. Chanukah Joy… If you remember what I wrote last week, you will know that the LOVE candle is lit every night. This candle lights the other candles. On the first night of Chanukah, you light the “servant candle” and then use it to light the JOY candle. JOY! So many verses about JOY. Where does a person start? Ecclesiastes 9:7 So go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine

Matthew 17:14-20 14 As they came up to the crowd, a man approached Yeshua, kneeled down in front of him, 15 and said, “Sir, have mercy on my son, because he is an epileptic and has such terrible fits that he often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your talmidim (disciples/students), but they couldn’t heal him.” 17 Yeshua answered, “Perverted people, without any trust! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!”

Matthew 16:1-4 Then some P’rushim (Pharisees) and Tz’dukim (Sadducees) came to trap Yeshua by asking him to show them a miraculous sign from Heaven. 2 But his response was, “When it is evening, you say, ‘Fair weather ahead,’ because the sky is red; 3 and in the morning you say, ‘Storm today!’ because the sky is red and overcast. You know how to read the appearance of the sky, but you can’t read the signs of the times! 4 A wicked and adulterous generation is asking for a sign?

Matthew 15:21-28 21 Yeshua left that place and went off to the region of Tzor and Tzidon (Tyre and Sidon). 22 A woman from Kena‘an (Canaan) who was living there came to him, pleading, “Sir, have pity on me. Son of David! My daughter is cruelly held under the power of demons!” 23 But Yeshua did not say a word to her. Then his talmidim (disciples/students) came to him and urged him, “Send her away, because she is following us and keeps pestering us with her crying.” 24 He said,

Matthew 12:38-42 38 At this some of the Torah-teachers said, “Rabbi, we want to see a miraculous sign from you.” 39 He replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign? No! None will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Yonah. 40 For just as Yonah (Jonah) was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea-monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the depths of the earth. 41 The people of Ninveh will stand up at the Judgment with

Matthew 8:23-27 23 He boarded the boat, and his talmidim followed. 24 Then, without warning, a furious storm arose on the lake, so that waves were sweeping over the boat. But Yeshua was sleeping. 25 So they came and roused him, saying, “Sir! Help! We’re about to die!” 26 He said to them, “Why are you afraid? So little trust you have!” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and there was a dead calm. 27 The men were astounded. They asked, “What kind of man is this
