Sweet Praise

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

GOD inhabits the praises of His people! That means He is comfortable in the midst of our sweet praises, but He is not comfortable in the midst of a sour attitude! 

Today, let’s take a moment to take inventory of our inner life because it is the dwelling place of GOD (when we ask YESHUA Into our hearts, GOD’S Spirit is dwelling there)!

See, ABBA FATHER is much more interested in our inner lives (our heart) than our outer lives (appearance). So we need to be more concerned about what goes on inside than our external matters. 

Psalm 147:1
Praise the Lord! How good to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how fitting.

When we are praising, worshipping. and honoring GOD in our inner life, it makes our life right in GOD’S eyes. And when that happens, your outside will follow.

Adjusting

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

Our ABBA FATHER desires to be involved in every aspect of our lives. He gives clear direction in His Word so that we can understand what His will is for every circumstance we encounter!

By walking in the center of GOD’S will, we accomplish that which we were created to do.

Inevitably, we also experience life at its best! As imperfect humans, we will not automatically be in GOD’S will,  so we must make an effort to seek His way and live according to biblical precepts.

GOD is immutable! He is not going to change to suit us. That means we must make whatever adjustments are necessary in order to be obedient to His Word!

Colossians 3:1-2
Since you have been raised to new life with MESSIAH, set your sights on the realities of Heaven, where MESSIAH sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of Heaven, not the things of earth.

GOD directs all believers in the way we are to go because He is perfect in all wisdom and knowledge and always knows what is best for us at all times. Only obedient living makes it possible to attain genuine fulfillment!

A Passionate Heart

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

We need to discover how to be passionate about the things GOD is passionate about. The Word of GOD teaches us over and over again that we are to help hurting people. Our ABBA FATHER is passionate about helping the widows, the fatherless, the poor, the needy, the oppressed, the hungry, the naked, and the homeless! 

As our Scripture of the day tells us, GOD is looking to and fro for people who will have a heart and compassion for such people. Let’s be one of those people whose heart is seeking after Him and His compassion for the needy! GOD always desires for us to enjoy our life, but He never wants us to forget about the poor, lost, and needy! GOD will put such people in our path, and when He does, let’s find a way to make a difference in their lives. We may not be able to do everything, but we all can do something!

2 Chronicles 16:9A
For the eyes of the Lord runs to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.

Let our passion be for the things GOD is passionate about! Seek out where you can actively make a difference in someone’s life.

A True Follower

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

When YESHUA walked this earth, a vast multitude followed Him. They came for many reasons, some noble, some selfish. The same is still true today. Not all that seek GOD are really His followers!

Let’s take a look at our own walk and ask ourselves, “What do we want from Him?” How committed are we to being His disciples?

In the Bible, some followed YESHUA because they had urgent needs that He alone could meet. Some wanted to see signs and miracles and feel that thrill of excitement.

Today, some go to their congregation only to get pumped up. 

However, mountaintop experiences are usually followed by valleys! Then when hardships come, they are quick to abandon the LORD!

John 6:2

A huge crowd kept following Him wherever He went, because they saw His miraculous signs as He healed the sick.

Are you more interested in what YESHUA can do for you than in just being with Him?

Do you find it hard to stay committed without an emotional experience to sustain you? 

Our physical and emotional needs can draw us to the LORD, but they should never be the foundation for our walk with Him!

Putting on Love

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

PUTTING ON LOVE” 

What does love look like? For this, we have to look at GOD!

1 John 4:8 says GOD is love. He knows nothing else. We see through Scripture the love YESHUA had for all people.

How He handled Himself when they came up against Him & how He behaved during trials. 

Love puts up with anything, and never gives up! Love is not a feeling; it’s a decision we make.

It’s seen when we treat people the way GOD instructs us to treat others. And it doesn’t matter how we feel! Feelings change, they come and go! When we choose to love even the unlovable, we are honoring and glorifying GOD!

Colossians 3:14
Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.

Let’s pray that we will have the leading of the Holy Spirit to put someone on our hearts that needs to feel loved! It will return back to us many times over.

Blessings,

Pastor Bruce & Suzi Elman
