Wait on Adonai

“David consulted Adonai, asking, Should I go and attack these Philistines? Adonai answered David, Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
1 Samuel 23:2 CJB

Here we see David asking God before he acted and also waited for God to respond! Do we wait to hear from God?

“I cry aloud to God, aloud to God; and He hears me.”
Psalm 77:1 CJB

We all have various situations happening in life, we call on Adonai, but do we wait for Him answer?

“Adonai takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who wait for His grace.”
Psalm 147:11 CJB

Part of fearing Adonai, is the fear of walking through life without Him! Also know when we call on Him, know He is answering us in His perfect timing, we just need to wait!
May your day be blessed waiting on Adonai!

Confess

“David said to Avyatar, “I knew it! That day, when Do’eg the Edomi was there, I knew he would tell Sha’ul. I caused the death of every person in your father’s family. “
1 Samuel 22:22 CJB

We see here David realizes and acknowledges his responsibility for when he lied to Ahimelech in the previous chapter, people died! Understand we all blow it from time to time. People might not die, but do get hurt! Do we take responsibility?

“He who conceals his sins will not succeed; he who confesses and abandons them will gain mercy.”
Proverbs 28:13 CJB

Sin really does kill, emotionally, relationships and occasionally physically! What do we do? Confessing and admitting brings liberation from the bondage of sin!

“When I acknowledged my sin to you, when I stopped concealing my guilt, and said, “I will confess my offenses to Adonai”; then you, you forgave the guilt of my sin.”
Psalm 32:5 CJB also 1 John 1:9

Be careful of getting caught up in trying to hide or cover sin! Why? Because it never works out! Instead confess, repent and watch God forgive and forget, so you can be liberated and move on!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!
