“For rebellion is like the sin of sorcery, stubbornness like the crime of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of Adonai, He too has rejected you as king.”
1 Samuel 15:23 CJB

Just like Saul, the more we reject God and His word and keep doing our own thing, eventually He will reject us! God will only go so far with outright disregard of His word!

“Those who reject Me and don’t accept what I say have a judge-the word which I have spoken will judge them on the Last Day.”
John 12:48 CJB

I am personally so thankful for the grace and mercy of God! But with that said, we all need to be careful of ignoring the word of God or misusing His word!

“So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Matthew 5:19 CJB

Today, be careful of thinking we can just do what we feel is right, but let’s make sure we do things the way God says to!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“So Adonai saved Israel that day, and the battle spread as far as Beit-Aven.”
1 Samuel 14:23 CJB

God always saves us, even when we create many of the battles that we are in!

“Adonai is the one who saves the righteous; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.”
Psalm 37:9 CJB

Even though we create the battles, it is Adonai who saves us and gives a refuge, a stronghold to protect us in every situation!

“Adonai protects all who love Him, but all the wicked He destroys.”
Psalm 145:20 CJB

Today, don’t get caught up in life’s battles, but instead get caught up in the strongholds of Yeshua!
Have a blessed day knowing Adonai protects you!

“Tziyon (Zion) will be redeemed by justice; and those in her who repent, by righteousness.”
Isaiah 1:27 CJB

Redemption always comes by repenting and receiving grace and mercy by what God has done for us! He was just and took on the penalty and paid the price for our sins! What an amazing God we have!

“But He was wounded because of our crimes, crushed because of our sins; the discipling that makes us whole fell on Him, and by His bruises [Or: and in fellowship with Him] we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5 CJB

Everything we have and are yet to receive is from Adonai, this should make us rejoice everyday in the salvation He has given us!

“This is the day Adonai has made, a day for us to rejoice and be glad.”
Psalm 118:24 CJB

Today, we all have a great deal to rejoice about in His salvation! If you are not saved then repent and join in His salvation!
Have a blessed day.
Shabbat Shalom!

“Samuel said, What have you done? Saul answered, I saw the army was drifting away from me, that you hadn’t come during the time appointed and that the P’lishtim had assembled at Mikhmas.”
1 Samuel 13:11 CJB

We all need to be careful of acting like Saul, impatient and worried about our situation instead of being patient and waiting on Adonai!

“Put your hope in Adonai, be strong, and let your heart take courage! Yes, put your hope in Adonai!”
Psalm 27:14 CJB

At times it can feel like the world is pressing down on us and we can get impatient, but the best thing to do is wait on Adonai! He has a plan and a way, even if we don’t understand!

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways, says Adonai.”
Isaiah 55:9 CJB

Today, put all your hope in Adonai, trust Him and be patient He has a plan and it’s perfect!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“But if you refuse to obey what Adonai says and rebel against Adonai’s orders, then Adonai will oppress both you and your leaders.”
1 Samuel 12:15 CJB

This isn’t only telling us to obey Adonai, but it is also telling us make sure who we are following is obeying Adonai (Pastors, Priests and Rabbis)!

“At that time there was no king in Israel; a man simply did whatever he thought was right.”
Judges 21:25 CJB

The people of Israel had the ultimate king over them, God Himself, but they would chose a man to lead them instead! Today, we have God over us also, but we need to be careful of the church leaders before us! Are they living a godly life and are they teaching godly ways?

“For the time is coming when people will not have patience for sound teaching, but will cater to their passions and gather around themselves teachers who say whatever their ears itch to hear.”
2 Timothy 4:3 CJB

Today, be careful of the leaders we follow, there are way too many false teachers out there and way too many who don’t even have their own houses in order! We need to be a people who obey God and have our bible teachers do the same!
Have a blessed day!
