“The king sang this lament over Avner: Should Avaner have died like a thug?”
2 Samuel 3:33 CJB

Do we weep for our enemies? Or do we cheer when they fall? We should weep and lament over them, especially if they are not saved!

“But I tell you, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!”
Matthew 5:44 CJB

We need to pray for those who are against us, because in reality they are against the LORD! The LORD tells us to love and pray for our enemies, so we should!

“Listen to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I pray to You.”
Psalm 5:2 CJB

Today, let’s be like the LORD, who prays for those who are against Him!
Have a blessed day praying!

“For six days, you are to work. But on the seventh day, you are to rest, so that your ox and donkey can rest, and your slave-girl’s son and the foreigner be rewarded.”
Exodus 23:12 CJB

We all need to work and that’s how we live, but one day a week we need to take a break!

“On the seventh day you are to have a holy convocation; do not do any kind of ordinary work.”
Numbers 28:25 CJB

The LORD really wants us to take a break and make one day a week special, knowing it will be blessing for us!

“You yourselves, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be cohanim set apart for God to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to Him through Yeshua the Messiah.”
1 Peter 2:5 CJB

When we take a break and spend time with the LORD, we will always be blessed!
Have an amazing day!
Shabbat Shalom.

“After this, David consulted Adonai; he asked, Should I go up into any of the cities of Y’hudah? Adonai sad to him, Go up. David asked, Where should I go up? He said, too Hevron.”
2 Samuel 2:1 CJB

We should do the same, before we do anything we should consult the LORD!

“They go down to Egypt but don’t consult Me, seeking refuge in Pharaoh’s protection, seeking shelter in Egypt’s shadow.”
Isaiah 30:2 CJB

We need to be real careful of seeking help from the world before we seek the LORD! The world will always let us down the LORD will never let us down!

“If I were you, I would seek God; I would make my plea to Him.”
Job 5:8 CJB

Today, let’s seek the LORD not the world we will always be blessed! Have a blessed day consulting the LORD!
Shabbat Shalom.

“On the third day, there came a man from Sha’ul’s camp with his clothes torn and earth on his head. He approached David, fell to the ground and prostrated himself.”
2 Samuel 1:2 CJB

Here we see great mourning and anguish at the death of Saul and his sons! We also can go through rough times and be in distress and anguish. The good news is the LORD has us and will comfort us!

“In my distress my comfort is this: that your promise gives me life.”
Psalm 119:50 CJB

When we are in distress and have situations going against us in life, all we have to do is call on the LORD! He is always there!

“Adonai is close to all who call on Him, to all who sincerely call on Him.”
Psalm 145:18 CJB

So no matter what is going on around you, just remember, the LORD is only a call away! Have a blessed day knowing you don’t have to live in anguish, because we have the LORD!

“The fighting went hard against Saul; then archers overtook and wounded him, so that he was in agony.”
1 Samuel 31:3 CJB

Life can come at us hard never giving us a break, it will always be harder when we are outside of God’s will like Saul!

“For Adonai loves justice and will not abandon His faithful; they are preserved forever. But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.”
Psalm 37:28 CJB

When we step out of the will of the LORD we will have disasters. When we are walking in His ways He takes care of us, even when we slip and fall!

“Many peoples will go and say. Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Adonai, to the house of the God of Ya’akov (Jacob)! He will teach us about His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For out of Tziyon will go forth Torah, the word of Adonai from Yerushalayim.”
Isaiah 2:3 CJB

Even though we may stumble, remember, the LORD is always there to pick us up! Our desire should be to walk in His ways and learn from Him, because it will always go better!
Have a blessed day looking to the LORD, not the world!
