God is beautiful

“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!

Don’t be distracted

“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!

Adonai has all the answers

“David consulted Adonai, asking, Should I attack the Philistine? Will you hand them over to me? Adonai answered David, Attack; I will certainly hand the Philistine over to you.”
2 Samuel 5:19 CJB

Here we see the Philistines (the world) wanted to ruin David as they had done to Saul, but David consulted Adonai on what to do and not reacting on his own feelings!

“I call on Adonai, who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies.”
Psalm 18:4 CJB

We need to call on Adonai for everything! Why? Because He is our everything! Also remember the world is always going to try and ruin you! So don’t react, just call on Adonai!

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

We can and do have problems in life, but remember God is bigger than all our problems and He is all the strength we will ever need!
May your day be blessed!

God will deal with it!

“How much more, when criminals have killed an innocent man in his own house on his own bed, shouldn’t I hold you responsible for his death and rid the earth of you?”
2 Samuel 4:11 CJB

Why do people think they can help God out by doing incredibly stupid things? God will deal with getting justice and taking vengeance, we don’t need to!

“Vengeance and payback are Mine for the time when their foot slips; for the day of their calamity is coming soon, their doom is rushing upon them.”
Deuteronomy 32:35 CJB

We all need to be careful of taking matters into our own hands!

“Never seek revenge, my friends; instead, leave that to God’s anger; for in the Tanakh it is written, Adonai says, ‘Vengeance is My responsibility; I will repay.'”
Romans 12:19 CJB

There is so much that goes on throughout our day that we should just simply let go and let God deal with it!
Have a blessed day giving it all to God!
Shabbat Shalom!
