Haderekh Messianic Devotional

'In all this, Job did not sin nor charge Yehovah with wrong' Job 1:22 (NKJV) How do you view the trials and hardships in your life? The Bible tells us that all things work together for good if you love Yehovah and are called by Him. When life is at its worst, do you believe that to be true? Take the story of Job, and view it from Yehovah's perspective. It becomes then, not the story of a man who lost everything, but about Yehovah who restored all that the devil had stolen, and more besides. Not about a man losing faith in Yehovah, but a man maintaining his faith throughout the greatest of...

'I will bless Yehovah at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth' Psalm 34:1 (NKJV) The Bible says that Psalm 34 was written by David, when he was forced to act like a madman to save his own life! When David fled from King Saul, he fell into the hands of King Achish, who was told what a strong warrior David was. Fearing that the King would kill him, David faked insanity, scratching and dribbling until he was sent away (see 1 Samuel 21, 22). ?And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over...

'Yehovah on high is mightier, than the noise of many waters, than the mighty waves of the sea' Psalm 93:4 (NKJV) Yeshua Hamashiach, reigns Sovereignly over all the earth. He is robed in the majesty of His creation, and clothed with the splendor of the universe. The power of every atom is in His hands. Yeshua has put it all into place; it is established, and can never be moved. He is greater than any storm of life - a physical, raging body of water, like the one Yeshua calmed in the gospels, or the swirling chaos of a storm in your own life - mind, body, spirit, circumstances or family....

'If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed'! John 8:36 (NKJV) The devil's greatest desire is to steal from, kill and destroy mankind. He does this craftily, by lies and deceit. If someone believes what the devil says, he becomes enslaved. However, because Yeshua came to destroy the works of the devil, you can walk in freedom, and truth. You can learn to distinguish the voice of Yehovah from the voice of the enemy, and be set free from sin and death. Yeshua said that 'you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free' (John 8:32). The devil is sly, and often wraps up his...

'He has-set eternity in the human heart!' Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV) There are billions of people on planet earth right now, and billions that have lived before us. Some lives have already been lived out and are gone, but others like you and I, are in the midst of our journey through life. Each individual gets only one life. There are no second chances, no starting again or going back to the beginning. As you have just one life, so you must live it well, live it right, and live it in the light of eternity. The average length of a human life right now, in much of the western world, is about 80...

'The righteous will flourish like a palm tree.' Psalm 92:12 (NIV) Did you know that palm trees can lean right over in the wind until their tops are touching the ground - and yet spring right back when the high winds have passed? That's flexibility! Brittle things are weak, they snap. Brittle people are weak too, prone to breaking! You may have heard the story of the leader who took on a historic building, and within a few weeks decided that the organ would be better in a different part of the building. He moved the organ, and the following week was shocked to see World War Three break out in...
