“Even when the cloud remained on the tabernacle for a long time, the people of Israel did what Adonai had charged them to do and did not travel.”

“They will sing about Adonai’s ways, Great is the glory of Adonai.”

“They were to stand every morning to sing thanks and praises to Adonai, and likewise every evening.”
1 Chronicles 23:30 CJB

In other words we need to start our day with the LORD, live our day with the LORD and end our day with the LORD!

‘Make me hear of Your love in the morning, because I rely on you. Make me know the way I should walk, because I entrust myself to you.”
Psalm 143:8 CJB

As we start our day, we really need to spend time in prayer, in His word meditating on it and then living it through the day!

“Oh yes, they seek Me day after day and delight in knowing my ways. As if they were an upright nation that had not abandoned the ruling of their God, they ask me for just rulings and to take pleasure in closeness to God.”

Today, let’s make the LORD the priority for everything, because no matter what He is the answer for everything!

“Then you will succeed, if you take care to obey the laws and rulings that Adonai ordered Moshe concerning Israel. Be strong, be bold; don’t be afraid or become discouraged!”

We will always do well when we do things the LORD’S way!

“As high as the sky is above the earth are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:9 CJB

Be careful when you’re afraid or discouraged, that’s when we start looking to foolish things or worldly things for quick fixes or answers! Our first “go to” should always be the LORD!

“Seek Adonai and His strength; always seek His presence.”
Psalm 105:4 CJB

Today, don’t focus on fearful things and discouraging things, but, instead focus on the LORD!
Have a blessed day!
