“How much more, when criminals have killed an innocent man in his own house on his own bed, shouldn’t I hold you responsible for his death and rid the earth of you?”
2 Samuel 4:11 CJB

Why do people think they can help God out by doing incredibly stupid things? God will deal with getting justice and taking vengeance, we don’t need to!

“Vengeance and payback are Mine for the time when their foot slips; for the day of their calamity is coming soon, their doom is rushing upon them.”
Deuteronomy 32:35 CJB

We all need to be careful of taking matters into our own hands!

“Never seek revenge, my friends; instead, leave that to God’s anger; for in the Tanakh it is written, Adonai says, ‘Vengeance is My responsibility; I will repay.'”
Romans 12:19 CJB

There is so much that goes on throughout our day that we should just simply let go and let God deal with it!
Have a blessed day giving it all to God!
Shabbat Shalom!

“They buried Avner at Hevron; the king wept aloud at Avner’s grave, and all the people wept.”
2 Samuel 3:32 CJB

Here we see David’s enemy Avner is dead, but instead of celebrating, David mourns! Do we weep for our enemies, do we pray for them or do we condemn them!

“But I tell you, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!”
Matthew 5:44 CJB

It is really easy to love people that we love and care for, it is harder to love someone who persecutes you or reviles you!

“Don’t take vengeance on or bear a grudge against your people; rather, love your neighbor as yourself; I am Adonai.”
Leviticus 19:18 CJB

Adonai really does desire us to love our neighbors as ourselves!
We all need to be careful of holding grudges, taking vengeance or trash talk about people!

“Don’t plot harm against each other; and don’t love perjury; for all these are things I hate, says Adonai.”
Zechariah 8:17 CJB

So, let’s love people around us today! Understand with all the turmoil in the world, it really could use some love!
Have a blessed day loving people!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Avner said to Yo’av, If it’s all right with you, let’s have the young men get up and fight it out between themselves, while we watch. Yo’av said, Yes, let them.”
2 Samuel 2:14 CJB

This is a sad thing to me here, the older guys use the younger guys to fight and die! This is nothing new. The old and powerful let the young fight and die, just so they can watch! This is happening all around us today!

“To a fool, vileness is like a game, as is wisdom to a person of discernment.”
Proverbs 10:23 CJB

Understand, sadly fighting and war happens and sometimes is necessary, but we should not celebrate it or misuse it!

“For Adonai is righteous; He loves righteousness; the upright will see His face.”
Psalm 11:7 CJB

God loves righteousness, He loves the upright and those who are just! So let’s cling to Him and His ways, chasing His peace and love!
Have a blessed day loving instead of hating!

“Your glory, Israel, lies dead on your high places! How the heroes have fallen!”
2 Samuel 1:19 CJB

We see that King Saul and his sons are now dead! So David can feel a bit upset and relieved at the same time! Anytime there is the removal of a dictator king who oppressed his people, the, people rejoice! But what’s next?

“How the heroes have fallen and the weapons of war perished.’
2 Samuel 1:27 CJB

Israel saw that their leader and his heirs are gone and the Philistines are victorious! So they may have felt no hope, wondering who is going to protect them!

“Adonai-Tzva’ot is with us, out fortress. God of Ya`akov.”
Psalm 46:7 CJB

Understand even when things seem to go bad, it is always the perfect time for Adonai to step in!
God will have this covered!
May your day be blessed knowing Adonai is your fortress!
