Scripture - Isaiah 50:11 But instead, some of you want to light your own fires and make your own light. So, go, walk in the light of your fires and trust in your own light to guide you. But this is what you will receive from me: You will lie down in a place of pain.
Observation - We can either walk in God's way or light or in our own way or light. When we walk with God, we will have peace; but when we walk in our own light (understanding), we will have pain. I must walk in the light of God's fire.
Application - I must not make my own fires or light. I must walk in the light of the Lord. I must stay on the path He chooses for me.
Prayer - Father, help me to walk in your light for my life. Help me to not seek my own will or way for my life. Help me not to push doors open that may be closed for a reason. Let me walk in your way. Amen.

Having a Servant Heart and Knowing Trials Will Come
Scripture - James 1:1-4 From James, as servant of God and of the Lord Yeshua. to God's faithful people who have been scattered. My brothers and sisters, be very happy when you are tested in different ways. You know that such testing of your faith produces endurance. Endure until your testing is over. Then you will be mature and complete, and you won't need anything.
Observation - I found this scripture most touching this morning. James, even though he was the brother of Yeshua, calls himself his servant. James could have been puffed up just knowing that his brother was the Son of Yahweh, but he took on servitude.
Also, any time of testing we find ourselves in are to help us become mature. And please remember - THE TIME OF TESTING WILL END!
Application - When James said he was a servant of God and Yeshua, that meant his life no longer was his own. We must get to this point of total surrender and realize it is God who calls the shots in our lives. When I am being tested, it is so that the very character of God will be formed in me.
Prayer - Father, I pray that you will help me to be your servant to further your kingdom. I will trust you to bring trials into my life that produce mature fruit, so that others around me will see your love. Amen.

Do What Is Right
Scripture - I John 3: 7Little children, let no one deceive you! The one who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 The one who commits[f] sin is of the Devil, for the Devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the Devil’s works. 9 Everyone who has been born of God does not sin,[g] because His[h] seed remains in him; he is not able to sin,[i] because he has been born of God. 10 This is how God’s children—and the Devil’s children—are made evident.
Observation - How do we know who is right with Yahweh? This passage seems very clear. If we do what is right! It is very black and white in this passage. If you do right, then you are righteous. If you remain in sin, then you are not. Yeshua came to destroy the works of the evil one in our lives. He did this by his laying down his life for the sins of all mankind. When we accept this wonderful free gift, everything about our life should be touched. If we truly have the Holy Spirit (Ruach) living inside of us, sin should sicken our inmost being. The Father has planted his seed inside of us. We must be careful to take care of His seed. The Devil wants nothing more than to deceive us and make us think that we are unable to walk through life as the righteous seed of Yahweh. But we can, friends.
Application - More and more each day, we need to find out how to walk out the righteous walk that Messiah prepared for us. Otherwise, his death and resurrection was in vain. It is my responsibility to nourish and nurture the seed given to me. This is totally doable friends through the power of the Ruach, prayer, and spending time in the Word of Yah.
Prayer - Father, help me to walk according to your righteous statutes by the leading of the Holy Spirit. Pour your Spirit over me and cause me to hunger and thirst for your righteousness. May your Word guide me into all truth. In the name of Yahshua. Amen.
