“Sh’mu’el went to Saul; Saul said to him, May Adonai bless you! I have done what Adonai ordered.”
1 Samuel 15:13 CJB

When we read this we know Saul is not being honest! God clearly told him to destroy all and Samuel is going to call him out!

“But Sh’mu’el answered, If so, why do I hear sheep bleating and cows mooing?”
1 Samuel 15:14 CJB

We all need to be careful of saying we did things that God calls us to do, but then don’t completely follow through, while claiming that we did!

“Obey and pay attention to everything I am ordering you to do, so that things will go well with you and with your descendants after you forever, as you do what Adonai sees as good and right.”
Deuteronomy 12:28 CJB

When we simply obey what Adonai says in and through His word, we will never be let down! When we do we will never be let down or led astray!
Have a blessed day following Adonai!

“But if they say, ‘Come up to us,’ we’ll go on up; and that will be the sign that Adonai has given us victory over them.”

1 Samuel 14:10 CJB

Here we see Jonathan making his victory all about Adonai and giving Him all the glory!

“Declare his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples!”
1 Chronicles 16:24 CJB

We may have issues in life and need direction! Do what Jonathan did, he called on Adonai for directions and when God directed him, he gives all glory and credit to Adonai!

“For Adonai is great, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared more than all gods.”
Psalm 96:4 CJB

So even though life has issues, simple thing here! Don’t allow the little things become the big things in life! Instead give God all the glory, making his amazing deeds known among all the people!
Have a blessed day in Adonai!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Sh’mu’el (Samuel) said to Sha’ul, You did a foolish thing. You didn’t observe the mitzvah (commands) of Adonai, which He gave you. If you had, Adonai would have set up your kingship over Israel forever.”
1 Samuel 13:13 CJB

Simple thought here, if we just simply do what God says we will have fewer problems! The issue with many believers is they try to look for loopholes to not follow God’s instructions!

“If you love Me, you will keep My commands.”
John 14:15 CJB

When we love someone, we will listen to them and try to make them happy by doing what they say. So if we love Adonai, we really should be striving to do what He says!

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

Adonai gives us commands not to be a burden, but to help us walk in His ways, not our own! His ways keep us from messes, our ways get us into them!
Have a blessed day doing life the way God instructs us to do it according to His Word!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Sh’mu’el (Samuel) answered the people, Don’t be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet now, just don’t turn away from following Adonai; but serve Adonai with all your heart.”
1 Samuel 12:20 CJB

The cool thing is when we repent, God forgives and forgets! We just need to be mindful and not return to doing evil!

“She said, No one, sir. Yeshua said, Neither do I condemn you. Now go, and don’t sin any more.”
John 8:11 CJB

Yeshua, came into the world to give us the greatest gift ever! Salvation! So let’s be thankful and glorify Adonai today!

“Proclaim with me the greatness of Adonai; let us exalt His name together.”
Psalm 34:3 CJB

So let’s rejoice today and celebrate the free gift of Salvation!
Have an amazingly blessed day!

“Nachash the Amoni replied, I’ll do it on this condition: that all your right eyes be gouged out and thus bring disgrace on all of Israel.”
1 Samuel 11:2 CJB

The world is always looking at ways to disgrace the Children of God, look how the world attacks Israel, the Jewish people and believers in Yeshua today! The sad thing is many believers bring disgrace upon themselves by committing adultery, fleecing their employees and church leaders fleecing their flocks to name a few things! If we belong to God, we need to be upright!

“Lead me, Adonai, in Your righteousness because of those lying in wait for me; make Your way straight for me.”
Psalm 5:8 CJB

We need to constantly be looking to God to guide us and lead us in His ways! Remember the world is always looking for an opportunity to pounce on us!

“Guide me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are the God who saves me, my hope is in You all day long.”
Psalm 25:5 CJB

This verse is a great prayer for us to pray every day! Guide me, teach me and let me put my hope in You!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!
