“David consulted Adonai, asking, Should I go and attack these Philistines? Adonai answered David, Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
1 Samuel 23:2 CJB

Here we see David asking God before he acted and also waited for God to respond! Do we wait to hear from God?

“I cry aloud to God, aloud to God; and He hears me.”
Psalm 77:1 CJB

We all have various situations happening in life, we call on Adonai, but do we wait for Him answer?

“Adonai takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who wait for His grace.”
Psalm 147:11 CJB

Part of fearing Adonai, is the fear of walking through life without Him! Also know when we call on Him, know He is answering us in His perfect timing, we just need to wait!
May your day be blessed waiting on Adonai!

“David said to Avyatar, “I knew it! That day, when Do’eg the Edomi was there, I knew he would tell Sha’ul. I caused the death of every person in your father’s family. “
1 Samuel 22:22 CJB

We see here David realizes and acknowledges his responsibility for when he lied to Ahimelech in the previous chapter, people died! Understand we all blow it from time to time. People might not die, but do get hurt! Do we take responsibility?

“He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy.”
Proverbs 28:13 CJB

Sin really does kill, emotionally, relationships and occasionally physically! What do we do? Confessing and admitting brings liberation from the bondage of sin!

“When I acknowledged my sin to you, when I stopped concealing my guilt, and said, “I will confess my offenses to Adonai”; then you, you forgave the guilt of my sin.”
Psalm 32:5 CJB also 1 John 1:9

Be careful of getting caught up in trying to hide or cover sin! Why? Because it never works out! Instead confess, repent and watch God forgive and forget, so you can be liberated and move on!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

“Akhish said to his servants, Here, you see that the man is meshugga (crazy); why bring him to me?”
1 Samuel 21:15 CJB

This is how the world looks at believers, meshugga (crazy)!
Why? Because we don’t fit in with the normal world, at least we shouldn’t!

“Because you are a people set apart as holy for Adonai your God. Adonai your God has chosen you to be his own unique treasure out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.”
Deuteronomy 14:2 CJB

God has chosen us out of the world to be His special and holy people! To the world that looks crazy!

“On the contrary, following the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in your entire way of life; since the Tanakh says, You are to be holy because I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:15-16 CJB

God isn’t saying be holy like some abnormal over pious person! He’s asking us to be holy (not ordinary) like the rest of the unbelieving world!
He wants us to be special set apart for Him to glorify Him!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Y’honatan answered Saul his father, Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”
1 Samuel 20:32 CJB

Jealousy and envy always turn to anger and anger makes people become unreasonable and full of rage! Just look at all the political discourse happening today!

“For anger kills the fool, and envy slays the silly.”
Job 5:2 CJB

Understand anger and jealousy kill! We all need to be careful of anger, envy and jealousy, because they destroy friends and families!

“You who don’t direct your lives, understand caution; as for you, you fools, get some common sense!”
Proverbs 8:5 CJB

This is a position we should all take – simply admit we are not as adequate as we think we are! We are all sinners in need of Yeshua, who saves us, forgives us and forgets our confessed sin! The biggest sin we can have is the emotions in our mind, that lead us to all kinds of sinful actions!

“Wash me completely from my guilt, and cleanse me from my sin.”
Psalm 51:4 CJB

Let’s make our New Year prayer for Adonai to not only forgive our sins, but to cleanse our minds from any kind of sinful thoughts!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
