“Then Eliyahu said to the people, I, I alone, am the only prophet of Adonai who is left, while Ba`al’s prophets number 450.”
1 Kings 18:22 CJB

Just like Elijah, we can feel all alone, overwhelmed and even defeated! Remember this is the farthest thing from the truth! Yeshua is always with us every step of the way!

“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

Elijah wasn’t alone and neither are we! There is always someone else going through the same things we are! What do we do? Pray!

“When Job prayed for his friends, Adonai restored his fortunes; Adonai gave Job twice as much as he had before.”
Job 42:10 CJB

Today, let’s be all about praying for each other and watch how Adonai blesses! You may not get great riches, but you will get His great peace!
Have a blessed day serving Adonai!

“So he went and acted according to the word of Adonai-he went and lived in Vadi K’rit near the Yarden.”
1 Kings 17:5 CJB

This is what we need to be doing also, just simply living by the word of God! We see here that Elijah doesn’t even question God, he just does what He says!

“I will find my delight in Your regulations. I will not forget Your word.”
Psalm 119:16 CJB

Where do we find our delight? Is it in Adonai or is it in the world?
We can never go wrong when we are in the word of God, just doing what it says!

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

Today, we will always be doing much better when we just do what God tells us in His word!
Have a blessed day living, listening to God!

“Ach’av the son of `Omri did what was evil from Adonai’s perspective, outdoing all his predecessors [in wickedness].”
1 Kings 16:30 CJB

As we read through the accounts of the kings of Israel they kept getting more and more evil! We see the same with leaders and people today! It almost seems if people try to out do each other in being evil and doing wicked things. We live in a time of extreme wickedness!

“How long are the wicked, Adonai, how long are the wicked to triumph?”
Psalm 94:3 CJB

We all can ask this same question of Adonai. We see the wickedness and ask how long is this going to happen? What we really need to be doing is looking to Adonai and know He is going to deal with the wickedness in the world! So let’s do the things He calls us to do!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 CJB

Today, more than ever, we as believers need to reflect the light of Adonai as much as we possibly can! The dark world around us needs the light of Adonai!
Have a blessed day shining for Yeshua!

“But the high places were not removed, Nevertheless, Asa was wholehearted with Adonai throughout his life.”
1 Kings 15:14 CJB

Asa did good things for Adonai! He removed prostitutes, rid the land of idols and put back the holy things dedicated to God into the temple! Unfortunately he tolerated the high places, allowing the people to continue in idolatry!

“I will not allow before my eyes any shameful thing. I hated those who act crookedly; what they do does not attract me.”
Psalm 101:3 CJB

Do we follow after God, but still allow things that are not upright happen around us? We need to be careful of what we allow into our lives and what we see!

“Glory in His holy name; let those seeking Adonai have joyful hearts.”
1 Chronicles 16:10 CJB

Today, let’s really take a good look at what we allow into our lives and if it’s ungodly, let’s remove it!
Have a blessed day seeking Adonai!

“You give me Your shield, which is salvation; Your answers make me great.”
2 Samuel 22:36 CJB

Anything Adonai does is perfect and we should always give ear to all that He says!

“But let all who take refuge in You rejoice, let them forever shout for joy! Shelter them; and they will be glad, those who love Your name.”
Psalm 5:11 CJB

The only place we can find any kind of refuge and peace is in Adonai! Everything else will fail!

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
Psalm 46:1 CJB

Today, know that we are always going to be safe in Adonai!
Have a blessed day giving your ear to Him!
Shabbat Shalom!
