Devotions

“Sh’mu’el (Samuel) answered the people, Don’t be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet now, just don’t turn away from following Adonai; but serve Adonai with all your heart.”
1 Samuel 12:20 CJB

The cool thing is when we repent, God forgives and forgets! We just need to be mindful and not return to doing evil!

“She said, No one, sir. Yeshua said, Neither do I condemn you. Now go, and don’t sin any more.”
John 8:11 CJB

Yeshua, came into the world to give us the greatest gift ever! Salvation! So let’s be thankful and glorify Adonai today!

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

So let’s rejoice today and celebrate the free gift of Salvation!
Have an amazingly blessed day!

“Nachash the Amoni replied, I’ll do it on this condition: that all your right eyes be gouged out and thus bring disgrace on all of Israel.”
1 Samuel 11:2 CJB

The world is always looking at ways to disgrace the Children of God, look how the world attacks Israel, the Jewish people and believers in Yeshua today! The sad thing is many believers bring disgrace upon themselves by committing adultery, fleecing their employees and church leaders fleecing their flocks to name a few things! If we belong to God, we need to be upright!

“Lead me, Adonai, in Your righteousness because of those lying in wait for me; make Your way straight for me.”
Psalm 5:8 CJB

We need to constantly be looking to God to guide us and lead us in His ways! Remember the world is always looking for an opportunity to pounce on us!

“Guide me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are the God who saves me, my hope is in You all day long.”
Psalm 25:5 CJB

This verse is a great prayer for us to pray every day! Guide me, teach me and let me put my hope in You!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!

“When those who knew him from before saw him there, prophesying with the prophets, they asked each other, What’s happened to Kish’s son? Is Sha’ul a prophet too?”
1 Samuel 10:11 CJB

Same goes for us when we are saved by God and are serving Him, do people see a change in us?

“They came to Yeshua and saw the man who had the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were frightened.”
Mark 5:15 CJB

How amazing when we see someone come to their senses and receive God’s Salvation! Suddenly they are now in their right mind, being a witness for Adonai! It is so amazing to see the changes in a person when they are a new creation in Messiah!

“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

When we are born-again, walking in the ways of God, we should be different, we should be a noticeably changed person! So let’s get out there and reflect the glorious light of Adonai!

“(In Israel, back in the old days, when someone went to consult God, he would say, “Come, let’s go to the seer”; because a person now called a prophet used to be called a seer.)”
1 Samuel 9:9 CJB

Why did God change seer to prophet? Because He wants us to separate us from the world! He wants us to be holy (special, separated, not ordinary)! We are God’s special holy people!

“But you are a chosen people, the King’s cohanim, a holy nation, a people for God to possess! Why? In order for you to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”
1 Peter 2:9 CJB

Why does God want us to be different? Because different people stand out and are noticed by the ordinary sinful people of the world! When we are special, holy and anointed for God, people notice and want what we have in Yeshua! Be careful of falling into the trap of being ordinary!

“Here is My servant, whom I support, My chosen one, in whom I take pleasure. I have put my Spirit on him; He will bring justice to the Goyim.”
Isaiah 42:1 CJB

Today, let’s stand out for Yeshua and be special, a holy people Adonai! Remember, even if you are being attacked, it’s usually because people see Yeshua in you and deep down they want the same!
Have a blessed day being holy for God!
