“David had a craving and said, I wish someone could give me water to drink from the well by the gate of Beit-Lechem!”
2 Samuel 23:15 CJB

Here we see David desiring some fresh water from the house of bread (Beit-Lechem). We should not only desire water from the LORD, we should be willing to get it and give it!

“Then He sends His word out and melts them; He makes the winds blow, and the water flows.”
Psalm 147:18 CJB

We all need to share the water of the word and the bread of life (The LORD.) It’s really what the world needs now! Just look around at the anxiety we see in the world today. We really need to be sharing Jesus!

“Then He said to them, As you go throughout the world, proclaim the Good News to all creation.”
Mark 16:15 CJB

Today, let’s crave the water of the word of God, then share it! Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Adonai is alive! Blessed is my Rock! Exalted be God, the Rock of my salvation.”
2 Samuel 22:47 CJB

Even as we look around and see the problems of the world, we can feel the LORD is not here! Realize, He is our rock and our salvation and He is always near!

“Since You are my rock and fortress, lead me and guide me for Your name’s sake.”
Psalm 31:3 CJB

Even today, we see so many problems going on around us, personal and societal! Know this, the LORD is on the throne and has all the solutions and cures!

“Then I will be be joyful in Adonai, I will rejoice in His salvation.”
Psalm 35:9 CJB

Today, don’t be stressed but, instead be blessed in how good the LORD is, knowing He has all things covered!
Have a blessed day!

“Thus the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people, for the people heard it said that day that the king was grieving for his son.”
2 Samuel 19:3 CJB

Be careful of turning our victories into grief! The LORD gives us victories every day, He gives us breath, food, shelter and salvation, so don’t complain! Don’t turn victory into mourning!

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

We may have situations going on around us that are uncomfortable, some of our own making and some out of our control! No matter what, let’s just rejoice, because we have victory in the LORD.

“Rejoice in union with the LORD always! I will say it again: rejoice!”
Philippians 4:4 CJB

Today, don’t look at our situation, but instead look to the LORD!
Have a blessed day rejoicing and not complaining!

“I don’t care-whatever happens, I want to run. So he said to him, Run. Then Achima’atz ran by the road through the desert flats and outran the Ethiopian.”
2 Samuel 18:23 CJB

Here we see this man saying he wanted to run. In reality, he wanted to be the first to give David the news! Problem is, it was not the complete story!

“I am your servant; give me understanding, so that I can know You’re instruction.”
Psalm 119:125 CJB

“But refuse godless bubbe-meises (old wives fables), and exercise yourself in godliness.”
1 Timothy 4:7 CJB

We also need to be careful of sharing things when we don’t have all the facts. We need to know the whole story, not just part of it! To be a good servant, understand and know what you’re sharing!

Today, with all the fake news and untrue social media hype out there, we need to be careful of spreading rumors! Have a blessed day making sure things are true!

“Avashalom and all the men of Israel said, The advice of Hushai the Arki is better than the advice of Achitofel-for Adonai had determined to frustrate the good advice of Achitofel, so that Adonai could bring disaster on Avshalom.”
2 Samuel 17:14 CJB

We at, times, like David, ask the LORD why is this happening to us! Remember, David is fleeing from his son Absalom here and feeling stuck. We, too, can feel like we are being chased and stuck at times.
Know that the LORD has a plan!

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways, says Adonai.”
Isaiah 55:8 CJB

Realize, in every situation we may be going through, the LORD has a purpose for us! All we have to know is the LORD has need!

“If anyone asks why you are untying it, tell him, The LORD needs it.”
Luke 19:31 CJB

So don’t fret about your situation or what you’re going through, just remember the LORD has a purpose for it! He will get you through, the LORD needs it!
Have a blessed day!
