It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name O Most High. ––Psalm 92:1 NKJV Happy Thanksgiving It’s the time of year when we give extra attention to gratitude to the Lord. Giving thanks is always good – even amid trials and troubles like this year has brought so many of us. It is perhaps in such times that thanksgiving returns the greatest blessings to us and is why He commands it of us. This Thanksgiving, may your heart overflow with peace and joy a...

“Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving. Let us shout joyfully to Him with songs.” (Psalm 95:2 TLV) I love Thanksgiving in the U.S., and not just because of the meal with family or the whole week of leftovers. I love it because it gives us a scheduled opportunity to pause and reflect on the blessings God has given us. This year, especially with the pandemic, economic uncertainty, the U.S. election, and plenty of other challenges, we need to remind ourselves of God’s bl...

Have you heard of our Congregation and Leadership Development (CLD) Department? That’s a long name, but it does identify what this team does – develops congregations and their leaders. One way we do this is through visits to the countries with the most Jewish Voice-affiliated Messianic congregations. Currently, those are Zimbabwe and Ethiopia. Generally, we conduct Messianic Leadership Trainings (MLTs) in both nations every year, with Rabbi Jonathan Bernis and several of our other leader...

I’m writing to you because as we enter this season of miracles, with Chanukah quickly approaching, I’m hoping you’ll partner with us to provide the opportunity for more miracles at our Outreaches in Africa. Because of the coronavirus restrictions on public gatherings in the countries where we serve, we have been finding creative ways to serve the Jewish people in need in these areas. I have a story to share with you about one of these miracles, but first let me tell you about Chanukah. Thi...

The first waves of the coronavirus in the spring of 2020 seem like forever ago, don’t they? It’s sometimes hard to believe we’re still dealing with this disturbing, disruptive pandemic. Little did we at Jewish Voice know, when we began a blog series to offer hope and encouragement in the midst of the lockdown efforts to curb the virus, that things would last long enough to extend the series to nine weeks. Then, when we realized the devotions are relevant to any tough season of life and d...

“In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.” (Exodus 15:13 NIV) As you will see below, there is a great deal in the news regarding Israel. In the U.S., there is also no shortage of significant news stories. While we stay informed about all that is going on in our world, let’s hold tight to God’s unfailing love for us and the confidence we can have knowing He guides us in His strength – not ours. B...

“But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations.” (Psalm 33:11 NIV) I am thankful that no matter what is happening in the world, we know “the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,” as stated in Psalm 33. Our God is at work to accomplish His plan for His glory. As you already know, it was announced that Joe Biden is the president-elect for the United States. Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered his congratulations and poin...
