Wisdom—Our Friend

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

Wisdom will always lead you to GOD’S best! Wisdom teaches that you will not keep friends if they try to control and dominate your life! 

Wisdom will guide you in your money matters. 

Using wisdom keeps you out of debt. Wisdom will not let you get over extended in your commitments. 

Wisdom says we need to take time and wait on GOD to give us peace about what we are to do or not to do. 

Yes, wisdom is certainly our friend; it helps us not live in regret! The saddest thing in the world would be to reach old age and look back at your life and feel nothing but regret about what you did or did not do! 

Proverbs 4:5-6
Get wisdom; develop good judgment.
Don’t forget my words or turn away from them.

Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you.
Love her, and she will guard you.

Ponder this thought for today; godly wisdom will help us make choices now that we will be happy with later.

Blessings,

Avoiding Divine Discipline

Encouraging Words with Pastor Bruce & Suzi Elman

Discipline is something we all would like to avoid!

So how can we avoid behavior that brings it on?  By studying Scripture and applying it to our lives, we will learn what pleases and displeases our heavenly FATHER.

We can also learn to practice spiritual self-examination. We need to examine our thought life, speech and actions in light of what Scripture tells us. 

When we do fall short (and we will), we need to have a time of genuine confession (without excuses), agreeing with our FATHER that His way is right and admitting we were wrong! 

Then we need to truly repent, which means changing our action and attitude and adjusting our ways.                             

2 Tim. 3:16
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

Believers in MESSIAH YESHUA needn’t fear GOD’S discipline; He never responds to us with wrath or condemnation. His correction may hurt, but it brings great spiritual benefit!

Pursuing a lifestyle of righteousness and godliness will help us to avoid pitfalls that lead to divine discipline!

A True Worshipper

Encouraging Words with Pastor Bruce & Suzi Elman

What does the Bible have to say about worship? 

It is a personal expression of devotion to MESSIAH YESHUA!             

True worship is having the fire for the love of YESHUA in our heart that spills out over everything we do and say! Just knowing that we have a true and living relationship with FATHER GOD through MESSIAH should fill our hearts with enthusiasm and zeal! 

This is the kind of worshipper that is pleasing to GOD! He is seeking true and genuine worshippers! He doesn’t want us to worship Him out of obligation or religion but out of a loving relationship.

John 4:23
But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers will worship ABBA the Father in spirit and truth; for GOD is seeking such to worship Him.

True worship is a lifestyle that reflects the righteousness of GOD, of loving Him and loving His people and obeying His Word! 

Are you a true worshipper?

Special People

Encouraging Words with Pastor Bruce & Suzi Elman

When feelings of low self-worth threaten us with discouragement, we need to rely on the truth of GOD’S Word rather than our emotions. If we are a believer in MESSIAH YESHUA, our Abba FATHER sees us as special people!

First, we are a chosen race. GOD chose you and I to be part of His Kingdom and family because He wants us! So you are not insignificant in GOD’S eyes. 

Second, we are a royal Priesthood. We are children of the most high GOD, therefore, part of a royal family (…heirs of GOD and fellow heirs with MESSIAH; Romans 8:17).

Third, we are a holy nation, the body of MESSIAH, which is a group of people who are holy, which means “set apart” for the purposes of GOD! That means our lives are never meaningless.

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His special own people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

GOD places high value on you; don’t let Satan whisper lies of condemnation and criticism in your ear! You are truly the apple of His eye!
