Joshua 1: After the death of Moshe the servant of Adonai, Adonai said to Y’hoshua the son of Nun, Moshe’s assistant, 2 “Moshe my servant is dead. So now, get up and cross over this Yarden, you and all the people, to the land I am giving to them, the people of Isra’el. 3 I am giving you every place you will step on with the sole of your foot, as I said to Moshe. 4 All the land from the desert and the L’vanon to the great river, the Euphrates River — all the land of the Hitti —

Joshua 10:6 The people of Giv‘on sent a message to Y’hoshua (Joshua) at their camp in Gilgal that said, “Don’t ignore your servants! Come up to us quickly, and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Emori living in the hills have gotten together to fight us.”7 Y’hoshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the fighting men with him, including all the bravest ones. 8 Adonai said to Y’hoshua, “Don’t be afraid of them, for I have handed them over to you; not one of their men w

Numbers 10:(v) 11 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony; 12 and the people of Isra’el moved out in stages from the Sinai Desert. The cloud stopped in the Pa’ran Desert. 13 So they set out on their first journey, in keeping with Adonai’s order through Moshe. 14 In the lead was the banner of the camp of the descendants of Y’hudah, whose companies moved forward; over his company was Nachshon

Numbers 9:(iv) 15 On the day the tabernacle was put up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, that is, the tent of the testimony; and in the evening, over the tabernacle was what appeared to be fire, which remained until morning. 16 So the cloud always covered it, and it looked like fire at night. 17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tent, the people of Isra’el continued their travels; and they camped wherever the cloud stopped. 18 At the order of Adonai, the people

Exodus 13:21 Adonai went ahead of them in a column of cloud during the daytime to lead them on their way, and at night in a column of fire to give them light; thus they could travel both by day and by night. 22 Neither the column of cloud by day nor the column of fire at night went away from in front of the people. * Exodus 14:19 Next, the angel of G-d, who was going ahead of the camp of Isra’el, moved away and went behind them; and the column of cloud moved away from in fron

Psalm 33: Rejoice in Adonai, you righteous! Praise is well-suited to the upright. 2 Give thanks to Adonai with the lyre, sing praises to him with a ten-stringed harp. 3 Sing to him a new song, make music at your best among shouts of joy. 4 For the word of Adonai is true, and all his work is trustworthy. 5 He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the grace of Adonai. 6 By the word of Adonai the heavens were made, and their whole host by a breath from his mouth.

Isaiah 43:18 "Stop dwelling on past events and brooding over times gone by; 19 I am doing something new; it’s springing up—can't you see it? I am making a road in the desert, rivers in the wasteland. ****** Holy Spirit is speaking. Yesterday dealt with verse 18, the letting go of the past and focusing on “Today,” and with the right response it brings good for our future. Today we look at what that future looks like in verse 19. The Most High is doing a new thing, something yo

Do It Today & Don’t Harden Your Heart, inspired by Bishop Bruce Claiborne, One Family Ministry Ps 95:7 For he is our G-d, and we are the people in his pasture, the sheep in his care. If only today you would listen to his voice: 8 “Don’t harden your hearts, as you did at M’rivah, as you did on that day at Massah in the desert, 9 when your fathers put me to the test; they challenged me, even though they saw my work. 10 For forty years I loathed that generation; I said, ‘This i

Exodus 33:12 Moshe said to Adonai, “Look, you say to me, ‘Make these people move on!’ But you haven’t let me know whom you will be sending with me. Nevertheless you have said, ‘I know you by name,’ and also, ‘You have found favor in my sight.’ 13 Now, please, if it is really the case that I have found favor in your sight, show me your ways; so that I will understand you and continue finding favor in your sight. Moreover, keep on seeing this nation as your people.” 14 He answe

1 Kings 13:9 For this is the order I received through the word of Adonai: ‘Don’t eat food or drink water, and don’t return by the road you took when you came.’” 10 So he went another way and did not return by the road by which he had come to (Bethel) Beit-El. ****** The Ruach HaKodesh led me to this scripture for Commitment Monday. The theme of this post today is to obey G-d’s directions without deviating from His plan. 1 Kings 13 opens with the man of G-d from Y’hudah (Judah

Deuteronomy 1:8 I have set the land before you! Go in, and take possession of the land Adonai swore to give to your ancestors Avraham, Yitz’chak and Ya‘akov, and their descendants after them.’ ****** The Most High made promises to Abraham, Isaac regarding Canaan. You have to read the Torah (Genesis to Deuteronomy for the whole story). After delivering the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus 12-15), the Most High took the Israelites (led by Moses) on the journey toward Canaan (the P

Deuteronomy 5:29 (32) “Therefore you are to be careful to do as Adonai your God has ordered you; you are not to deviate either to the right or the left. 30 (33) You are to follow the entire way which Adonai your God has ordered you; so that you will live, things will go well with you, and you will live long in the land you are about to possess. * Isaiah 30:20 Though Adonai may give you but bread and water, and not very much of that; your teacher will no longer hide himself, b

Psalm 32:8 CJB “I will instruct and teach you in this way that you are to go; I will give you counsel; my eyes will be watching you.” * Psalm 32:8 KJV I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. ****** I was led back to this verse this morning to focus on the eyes of G-d watching and guiding us. Yesterday, I focused on Him watching us everyday and every step of our journey and His loving guidance with a gentle nudge. T

Psalm 32:8 “I will instruct and teach you in this way that you are to go; I will give you counsel; my eyes will be watching you.” 9 Don’t be like a horse or mule that has no understanding, that has to be curbed with bit and bridle, or else it won’t come near you. 10 Many are the torments of the wicked, but grace surrounds those who trust in Adonai. 11 Be glad in Adonai; rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you upright in heart! ****** Psalm 32 starts out vv. 1-7 as a la

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my foot and light on my path. ****** I woke up this morning with this verse and a song I use to sing related to that verse on repeat in my spirit. I saw the image of a person walking along a path during biblical times with an oil lamp. That lamp would give off just enough light for the person to see the ground a few feet right in front of their feet. If they wanted to look ahead, they could but only a short distance. This is a perfect an

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am G-d: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the G-d of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. ****** The past few months, I have heard this verse often and it is because I am in a place where I am asking for answers, standing at a “crossroad” in some areas of life, and not sure which way to go. Be still, and know that I am G-d” is a passage that has always been a true help to me in tim

Proverbs 3: 5 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. * Proverbs 14:12 There can be a way which seems right to a person, but at its end are the ways of death. (repeated as Proverbs 16:25) ****** Two power packed set of instructions to a son 3:5-6), a wise woman, and person (14:12; 16:25) that we today need to obey as we walk the path of life given to us by Our Creator. First

Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is no longer any condemnation awaiting those who are in union with the Messiah Yeshua. 2 Why? Because the Torah of the Spirit, which produces this life in union with Messiah Yeshua, has set me free from the “Torah” of sin and death. 3 For what the Torah could not do by itself, because it lacked the power to make the old nature cooperate, G-d did by sending his own Son as a human being with a nature like our own sinful one [but without sin]. G-d did

Psalm 23 (0) A psalm of David: (1) Adonai is my shepherd; I lack nothing. 2 He has me lie down in grassy pastures, he leads me by quiet water, 3 he restores my inner person. He guides me in right paths for the sake of his own name. 4 Even if I pass through death-dark ravines, I will fear no disaster; for you are with me; your rod and staff reassure me. 5 You prepare a table for me, even as my enemies watch; you anoint my head with oil from an overflowing cup. 6 Goodness and g

John 14:25 “I (Yeshua) have told you these things while I am still with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything; that is, he will remind you of everything I have said to you. * John 16:13 However, when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own initiative but will say only what he hears. He will also announce to you the events of the futur
