“When all Hadad`ezer’s vassal kings saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their subjects. So Aram was afraid to help the people of ‘Amon any more.”
2 Samuel 10:19 CJB

When we see people come against God and His people then are defeated by God, many people give up their desire to attack God! What’s that mean? We stay strong in Yeshua, because we will always have victory in Him!

“Be strong, be bold, don’t be afraid or frightened of them, for Adonai your God is going with you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 CJB

No matter how things may look and how big our attackers may seem, we need to stay strong in Adonai!

“If Adonai hadn’t been for us when people rose to attack us, then, when their anger blazed against us, they would swallow us alive!”
Psalm 124:2-3 CJB

The reality is that without Adonai we are defeated, with Adonai we have victory!
Have a blessed day standing with Adonai!
Shabbat Shalom!

“But M’fivoshet lived in Yerushalayim; he always ate at the king’s table, and he was lame in both legs.”
2 Samuel 9:13 CJB

Just like M’fivoshet we are lame, but he knew that the best place to be was at the king’s table!

“Planted in the house of Adonai, they will flourish in the courtyards of our God.”
Psalm 92:13 CJB

Good question here: what house are you planted in? The house of God or the house of the world?

“If I raise my eyes to the hills, from where will my help come? My help comes from Adonai, the maker of heaven and earth.”
Psalm 121:1-2 CJB

Yes, all our help comes from Adonai, anything that is good comes from Him!
So have a blessed day living in the house of Adonai!

“David gained more fame on returning from killing 18,000 men from Aram in the Salt Valley.”
2 Samuel 8:13 CJB

God is keeping His promise to make David a great king and Israel a great nation! By giving him victory over his enemies and expanding the land!

“I have been with you wherever you went; I have destroyed all your enemies ahead of you; and I am making your reputations great, like the reputations of the greatest people on earth.”
2 Samuel 7:9 CJB

The truth is this, that Adonai is with us everywhere we go! The question is; are we going with Him or are we going against Him? When we are with Him we will always have a good reputation, without Him we are tarnished!

“May the favor of Adonai our God be on us, prosper for us all the work that we do-yes, prosper the work that we do.”
Psalm 90:17 CJB

We should be praying this today, May Adonai give us favor, prospering us in all we do and His reputation be glorified!
May your day be blessed by Adonai!

“Therefore, you are great, Adonai, God; for there is no one like You, and there is no God besides You-everything we have heard confirms that.”
2 Samuel 7:22 CJB

The truth is there is no one as great as God, so don’t allow anything to get in the way of worshipping Him!

“Just one thing have I asked of Adonai; only this will I seek: to live in the house of Adonai all the days of my life, to see the beauty of Adonai and visit in His temple.”
Psalm 27:4 CJB

With all the nasty things happening in the world around us, I think we need to be reminded how beautiful and perfect God is!

“Out of Tziyon, the perfection of beauty, God is shining forth.”
Psalm 50:2 CJB

The world around us is getting uglier and nastier, but Adonai is always going to be perfect and beautiful!
Have a blessed day in the beauty of Adonai!

“As the ark of Adonai entered the City of David, Mikhal the daughter of Saul, watching from the window, saw King David leaping and spinning before Adonai; and she was filled with contempt for him.”
2 Samuel 6:20 CJB

Are we like Mikhal, judging people on the way they worship and serve God? Or do we just focus on what we are doing for Adonai?

“Do not be unjust in judging-show neither partiality to the poor nor defense to the mighty, but with justice judge your neighbor.”
Leviticus 19:15 CJB

In other words, we are not to take sides like the world does! The only side we should take is the side of Adonai!

“Help us against our enemy, for human help is worthless. With God’s help we will fight valiantly, for He will trample our enemies.”
Psalm 108:12-13 CJB

We will always have issues in life and will be put in situations to choose one side or the other! What we need to do in every situation is chose the side of God and be careful of judging others!
Have a blessed day!
