Devotions

“In the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, all parts of the house were completed exactly as designed. Thus he was seven years building it.”
1 Kings 6:38 CJB

A basic thought here is are we building and doing things as God has designed or are we doing things our own way?

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

Gods ways are always better than our ways and His ways are always higher and better than ours!

“Don’t deceive yourselves by only hearing what the Word says, but do it!”
James 1:22 CJB

So let’s be like Solomon, he didn’t only hear from God say build, but he did it!
Have a blessed day building what God says!

“But now Adonai my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor calamity.”
1 Kings 5:18 CJB

Adonai is the only one who can give us true rest! Are you seeking rest in Him or are you seeking rest in the world?

“Be still before Adonai; wait patiently till He comes. Don’t be upset by those whose way succeeds because of their wicked plans.”
Psalm 37:7 CJB

We can and do get upset or uneasy in many situations, but we always can find rest in Adonai!

“What I am leaving with you is shalom-I am giving you My shalom. I don’t give the way the world gives. Don’t let yourselves be upset or frightened.”
John 14:27 CJB

We can look for shalom and rest in all kinds of places, but at the end of the day true rest and shalom can only be found in Yeshua!
Have a blessed day resting in Adonai!

“Shlomo had twelve officers over all Israel who were in charge of providing food and supplies for the king and his household; each one was in charge of provisions for one month out of the year.”
1 Kings 4:7 CJB

As wise and as powerful as Shlomo (Solomon) was, he still needed help! Our King Yeshua was all knowing, but He was wise enough to incorporate the twelve Apostles! What does this tell us? We can’t do everything on our own! We need help!

“But God is helping me; Adonai is my support.”
Psalm 54:6 CJB

We know from the historical record found in the Bible that God always helps His people! No matter what we are going through, God always provide the help we need!

“My help comes from Adonai, the maker of Heaven and Earth.”
Psalm 121:2 CJB

We all need to realize that all the help we need is in Adonai and He puts people in our lives to help us so we don’t have to go through our lives alone!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“God said to him, Because you have made this request instead of asking long life or riches for yourself, or your enemies’ death, but rather asked for yourself understanding to discern justice.”
1 Kings 3:11 CJB

What are our prayers like? Do we ask for riches and prestige or do we ask for things that will glorify God?

“Proclaim with me the greatness of Adonai; let us exalt His name together.”
Psalm 34:3 CJB

When we proclaim the greatness of Adonai and look for opportunities to glorify Him and proclaim His good news of salvation, He will always add to His covering and provision for us!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 CJB

So let’s focus on doing and serving Adonai and as we do we will see His provision and protection!
May your day be richly blessed!
