We should always have a healthy fear of Adonai, we need to remember we are not His equal!

“The first and foremost point of wisdom is the fear of Adonai; all those living by it gain good common sense. His praise stands forever.”

In everything we do we must do it Adonai’s way not ours! We need to have a healthy fear of Adonai. Remember, He is God!

“Commit your way to Adonai; trust in Him, and He will act.”

“David did exactly as Adonai had ordered him to do and pursued his attack on the Philistines from Geva all the way to Gezer.”
2 Samuel 5:25 CJB

Here we see David asked Adonai what he should do, then David does what Adonai tells Him to do! This is how he has success. He simply does what Adonia tells him!

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

We really need to be following the word of God and do what He instructs us to do! Unfortunately, as our day progresses, we can lose track and find ourselves falling back into doing things our own way! We just need to reset and seek Adonai to get back on track!

“Seek Adonai and His strength; always seek His presence.”

Today, let’s focus on Adonai and look to Him! That is where our success will be!

“They brought the head of Ish-Boshet to David in Hevron and said to the king, Here is the head of Ish-Boshet the son of Sha’ul your enemy, who wanted to take your life. Today Adonai has taken revenge on Sha’ul and his son for the sake of my lord the king.”
2 Samuel 4:8 CJB

What a great warning here for us. We need to be careful of doing things that we think are going to please God or someone. It may not turn out the way we think it will! Instead pray and wait for God to answer!

“I call on Adonai, who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies.”

When we try to do things on our own or take matters into our own hands it usually gets us into deep trouble!

“I wait longingly for Adonai; I put my hope in His word.”
Psalm 130:5 CJB

Today, with all the decisions and choices we have to make, let’s take our time to call on Adonai and wait! Remember, He will never let us down!
Have a blessed day waiting on Adonai!

“You know Avner (Abner) the son of Ner-he came only to deceive you, to learn what campaigns you’re planning and to find out everything you’re doing!”
2 Samuel 3:25 CJB

The truth is there are many people out there who will be nice and kind only to deceive you!

“But they tried to deceive him with their words, they lied to him with their tongues.”
Psalm 78:36 CJB

We need to be people who are always checking for truth, being careful not to fall into deception which is around every corner!

“Open your ears, and come to me; listen well, and you will live-I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the grace I assured David.”

Have a blessed day in Adonai.

“Avner the son of Ner, commander of Sha’ul’s army, had taken Ish-Boshet the son of Sha’ul, brought him over to Machanayim, and made him king over Gilad, th Ashuri, Yizreael, Efrayim, Binyamin and all Israel.”
2 Samuel 2:8-9 CJB

We all need to be careful of putting leaders over us, whether politicians, pastors or just celebrities! We need to always put God over us and not flawed humans!

“I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the abode of Slavery. You are to have no other gods before me.”

Things can get really weird and out of sync when we start following men or women instead of God, because we can get all goofy and completely sidetracked!

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

When we put God in charge of all things in our lives, we will always be better off!
Have a blessed day looking to Adonai for all things!
