Be strong

“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.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 CJB

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!

Shalom

“However, they will become his slaves, so that they will come to appreciate the difference between serving Me and serving earthly kingdoms.”
2 Chronicles 12:8 CJB

This is a lesson I believe God shows us all, when serving Him life is good, when we serve the world we do become slaves to it! How? When we serve God, we don’t worry about finances, health or standing in society!

“No one can be slave to two masters; for he will either hate the first and love the second, or scorn the second and be loyal to the first. You can’t be a slave to both God and money.”
Matthew 6:24 CJB

The fact is what controls your life? God or man? If you want a peaceful life (doesn’t mean you won’t have issues) but you will have peace when serve Adonai!

“I have said these things to you so that, united with Me, you may have shalom. In the world, you have tsuris (tribulation). But be brave! I have conquered the world!”
John 16:33 CJB

When we are united with Yeshua, we will always have shalom (peace), when we unite ourselves with the world we will have tribulation!
So drop all the worldly stuff and unite yourself with Yeshua!
Have a day full of His shalom!

Follow Adonai

“For three years they strengthened the kingdom and made Rechav`am the son of Slomo strong, because for three years they followed the way of life of David and Shlomo.”
2 Chronicles 11:17 CJB

Why was Rehoboam successful for three years? Because he followed the ways of David and Solomon, who followed Adonai! Success is in Adonai!

“How happy is everyone who fears Adonai, who lives by His ways.”
Psalm 128:1 CJB

The idea here isn’t to fear Adonai, but fear walking without Him! Going through life without Adonai should really be scary! We need Adonai in every aspect of our lives!

“Blessed is the man who trusts Adonai; Adonai will be his security.”
Jeremiah 17:7 CJB

We really need to simply just trust in Adonai in everything! Why? Let’s read the next verse to answer that!

“He will be like a tree planted near water; it spreads out its roots by the river; it does not notice when heat comes; and its foliage is luxuriant; it is not anxious in a year of drought but keeps on yielding fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:8 CJB

So when we trust in Adonai we will be fruitful, when we allow the deceptions of the world it will lead us into disaster!
Have a blessed day following Adonai!

Seek Adonai

“The young men he had grown up with said to him, The people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you, make it lighter for us’-here’s the answer you should give them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist!”
2 Chronicles 10:10 CJB

This is a problem we have today, young people with no experience making uneducated decisions, but on the other side we have older people not helping younger people so they can! The answer is we need Adonai to direct both the young and the old!

“Seek Adonai and His strength; always seek His presence.”
Psalm 105:4 CJB

When we have no experience or wisdom we should be careful of speaking, but instead we should spend more time listening, learning and seeking the LORD!

“Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach; and it will be given to him.”
James 1:5 CJB

When we don’t know what to say or do, seek Adonai and His wisdom and He will guide and direct!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
