“Adonai was with Y’hoshafat, because he lived according to the first ways of his ancestor David, not seeking ba`alim, but seeking the God of his father and living by His mitzvot, not by what Israel did.”
2 Chronicles 17:3-4 CJB

Jehoshaphat did three things: he obeyed Adonai, he removed obstacles and then taught about the ways of Adonai! We need to do the same!

“You are to observe My laws and rulings; if a person does them, He will have life through them; I am Adonai.”
Leviticus 18:5 CJB

Following and obeying Adonai will always bring us joy and make life easier to handle!

“For loving God means obeying His commands. Moreover, His commands are not burdensome.”
1 John 5:3 CJB

Keeping the commands of God are not a burden, walking in the ways of the world are always a burden and stressful! So obey, remove and teach the ways of Adonai!
Have a blessed day following Adonai!
Shabbat Shalom!

“In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa suffered from a disease in his legs. It was a very serious disease, yet even with this disease he did not seek out Adonai but turned to the physicians.”

Things are no different today, people turn to the world instead of Adonai, who is the giver of life!

“Your eyes could see me as an embryo, but in Your book all my days were already written; my days had been shaped before any of them existed.”
Psalm 139:16 CJB

How amazing is this that Adonai perfectly made us, and knows every detail of our lives, so why would we go to anyone else for help, when we can seek Him first?

“Seek Adonai and His strength; always seek His presence.”
1 Chronicles 16:11 CJB

We all have issues in life, but who do we seek first, Adonai or the world?
Have a blessed day seeking Adonai!

“The Spirit of God came on Azaryah the son ofGod; he went out to meet Asa and said to him, Listen to me, Asa, and all Y’hudah and Binyamin! Adonai is with you, as long as you are with Him; if you seek Him, you will find Him; but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you!”
2 Chronicles 15:1-2 CJB

Pretty simple instructions here, the same goes for us also!
No matter what is going on if we just simply seek God, He will always be right there for us!

“When you seek Me’ you will find Me, provided you seek Me wholeheartedly.”
Jeremiah 29:13 CJB

What is seeking God wholeheartedly? Seeking Him in everything and every situation, then doing what He says!

“Now I call on You, God, for You will answer me. Turn Your ear to me, hear my words.”
Psalm 17:6 CJB

We need to understand any time we call on God, He hears and answers are on the way! We just need to be patient and listen for His voice!
Have a blessed day!

“Asa cried out to Adonai his God, Adonai, is there no one besides yourself, strong or weak, who can help. Help us, Adonai our God, because we are relying on You, and we are coming against this vast throng in your name. You are Adonai our God; don’t let human beings stop you!”
2 Chronicles 14:10 CJB

When do we cry out to Adonai? Before a crisis or during the crisis? We need to call out to Him at all times!

“Adonai, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I lay my needs before You and wait expectantly.”
Psalm 5:3 CJB

One of the most amazing things we get to do is wake up and lay out our daily needs, not wants, but needs unto Adonai! The cooler thing is He will answer us!

“When you seek Me, you will find Me, provided you seek Me wholeheartedly.”
Jeremiah 29:13 CJB

We really need to get into the habit of calling on Adonai before, during and after a crisis, simply just call on Him at all times!
Have a blessed day having a conversation with God!

“The people of Israel fled before Y’hudah, and God handed them over to them.”
2 Chronicles 13:16 CJB

When God is on our side the enemy will flee!

“But Adonai-it is He who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you, so don’t be afraid or downhearted.”

No matter what our situation is, God is on the throne! We can have a financial disaster, a health crisis or any life changing disaster, remember God is still on the throne! So what do we do!

“Haven’t I ordered you, ‘Be strong, be bold’? So don’t be afraid or downhearted, because Adonai your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 CJB

No matter how things may look around us, we need to always be reminded that Adonai is always right there with us, guiding us through the storms of life!
Have a blessed day trusting Adonai!
