“Blessed be Adonai, who has given rest to His people Israel, in accordance with everything He promised. Not one word has failed of His good promise, which He made through Moshe His servant.”
1 Kings 8:56 CJB

The idea here is that everything God promises happens, He keeps every one of them!

“Today I am going the way of all the earth. Therefore consider in all your heart and being that not one of all the things Adonai your God said concerning you has failed to happen; it has all come to pass; nothing has failed.”
Joshua 23:14 CJB

Everything that God promises has happened or will happen, His promises never fail!

He said: “He will never leave us or forsake us.”
Hebrews 13:5

We can count on God!

“God is not a human who lies or a mortal who changes His mind. When He says something, He will do it; when He makes a promise, He will fulfill it.”
Numbers 23:19 CJB

So glad we don’t serve a God who changes His mind! He means what He says and says what He means!
Our God is solid and totally reliable!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Solomon built a palace for himself, taking thirteen years to finish it.”
1 Kings 7:1 CJB

Interesting thought here: it took Solomon seven years to build a house for God and thirteen years for himself! Do we spend and give ourselves more than we do for God?

“Doing Your will, my God, is my joy; Your Torah is my inmost being.”
Psalm 40:8 CJB

We need to have God at the center of everything we do! In order to do that we need to spend more than seven minutes with Him in His Word and in prayer!

“I treasure Your Word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against You.”
Psalm 119:11 CJB

Some of Solomon’s problems will arise because He spends more time on himself than Adonai! This is a lesson we should all learn that the more time we spend with Adonai, the less time we will fall into foolishness!
Have a blessed day knowing all things are from God and we need to dedicate all to Him!
Shabbat Shalom!

“In the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, all parts of the house were completed exactly as designed. Thus he was seven years building it.”
1 Kings 6:38 CJB

A basic thought here is are we building and doing things as God has designed or are we doing things our own way?

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Adonai.”
Isaiah 55:8 CJB

Gods ways are always better than our ways and His ways are always higher and better than ours!

“Don’t deceive yourselves by only hearing what the Word says, but do it!”
James 1:22 CJB

So let’s be like Solomon, he didn’t only hear from God say build, but he did it!
Have a blessed day building what God says!

“But now Adonai my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor calamity.”
1 Kings 5:18 CJB

Adonai is the only one who can give us true rest! Are you seeking rest in Him or are you seeking rest in the world?

“Be still before Adonai; wait patiently till He comes. Don’t be upset by those whose way succeeds because of their wicked plans.”
Psalm 37:7 CJB

We can and do get upset or uneasy in many situations, but we always can find rest in Adonai!

“What I am leaving with you is shalom-I am giving you My shalom. I don’t give the way the world gives. Don’t let yourselves be upset or frightened.”
John 14:27 CJB

We can look for shalom and rest in all kinds of places, but at the end of the day true rest and shalom can only be found in Yeshua!
Have a blessed day resting in Adonai!

“Shlomo had twelve officers over all Israel who were in charge of providing food and supplies for the king and his household; each one was in charge of provisions for one month out of the year.”
1 Kings 4:7 CJB

As wise and as powerful as Shlomo (Solomon) was, he still needed help! Our King Yeshua was all knowing, but He was wise enough to incorporate the twelve Apostles! What does this tell us? We can’t do everything on our own! We need help!

“But God is helping me; Adonai is my support.”
Psalm 54:6 CJB

We know from the historical record found in the Bible that God always helps His people! No matter what we are going through, God always provide the help we need!

“My help comes from Adonai, the maker of Heaven and Earth.”
Psalm 121:2 CJB

We all need to realize that all the help we need is in Adonai and He puts people in our lives to help us so we don’t have to go through our lives alone!
Have a blessed day in Him!
