“He did what was right from Adonai’s perspective, following the example of everything David his ancestor had done.”
2 Kings 18:3 CJB

This is good news for us! Why? Because we know David did great things, but we also know that David blew it, he committed adultery, murder and many other sins! What made him great? He repented!

“And then, whoever calls on the name of Adonai will be saved.”
Acts 2:21 CJB

This is one of the themes throughout scripture, when we fail then repent, Adonai simply forgives! Why? Because God loves a humble repentant heart!

“But I will call on God, and Adonai will save me.”
Psalm 55:16 CJB

Adonai desires all people to call upon Him for salvation and that is something we should all be sharing!
Have a blessed day knowing God forgives!

“Adonai had warned Israel and Y’hudah in advance through every prophet and seer, Turn from your evil ways; and obey My mitzvot(commands) and regulations, in accordance with the entire Torah which I ordered your ancestors to keep and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets.”
2 Kings 17:13 CJB

God has always desired us to walk in His ways doing what He commands us to do without question!

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

The idea here is if you love someone, you will listen to them and try to make them happy by doing what they say. So if we love Adonai, we should really 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

God gives us commands not to be a burden, but to help us walk on His righteous paths and do life His way, which is always best!
Have a blessed day listening to Adonai!

“Achaz took the silver and gold that was in the house of Adonai and in the treasuries of the royal palace and sent it as a present to king of Ashur.”
2 Kings 16:8 CJB

Instead of going to the creator of the universe Ahaz tries to bribe the world, which never works!

“Commit your way to Adonai; trust in Him, and He will act.”
Psalm 37:5 CJB

What and who do we commit our ways to? Nothing will ever work out when we try to bribe our way through life! To be successful, all we need to do is commit our lives to Adonai!

“Unload your burden on Adonai, and he will sustain you. He will never permit the righteous to be moved.”
Psalm 55:22 CJB

So let’s give all to Adonai, committing everything to Him!
Have a blessed day living for Adonai!

“He did what was evil from Adonai’s perspective; he did not turn from the sins of Yarov`am the son of N’vat, who made Israel sin.”
2 Kings 15:28 CJB

By now we should see a theme throughout Kings, most the leaders do evil and the people simply follow! Understand we are all dirty rotten sinners, needing the grace of God! But how do we break this cycle of sin?

“Nevertheless, to you who are listening, what I say is this: Love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”
Luke 6:27-28 CJB

Great advice here from Yeshua! Listen, Love, Do Good and pray, then repeat! One of the biggest mistakes we make is judging others, especially our leaders. Instead we should pray for them! No matter what you think, the leaders who are in charge are put there by God Himself! So be careful of saying things like creepy, sleepy, pedo or any other name you can come up with! Just remember God is well aware of who He allowed to be the leader!

“Guide my footsteps by Your word; don’t let any kind of sin rule me.”
Psalm 119:133 CJB

So instead of judging, condemning and complaining, let’s be godly by loving, praying and blessing!
Have a blessed day reflecting Yeshua!
