“He did what was evil from Adonai’s perspective; he followed the sins of Yarov`am the son of N’vat, who made Isra’el sin; and he never ceased committing those sins.”

We all need to be careful of following or justifying sin! We also need to be careful of trying to justify our sins because we see someone else doing it!

“Try to imitate me, even as I myself try to imitate the Messiah.”
1 Corinthians 11:1 CJB

What Paul is saying here is, as he is doing his best to imitate Yeshua, so should we! The best thing we can do to follow Yeshua, is to immerse ourselves in scripture and walk in His ways, so we can reflect His glorious light!

“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 do our best to imitate Yeshua and not the world!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“All the people of the land celebrated, and at last the city was quiet, That is how they killed Atalyah with the sword at the royal palace.”

“However, Yehu did not turn away from the sins of Yarov`am the son of N’vat, with which he had led Isra’el into sin, the gold calves that were in Beit-El and Dan. “

”You are to have no other gods before me.”
Deuteronomy 5:7 CJB

A good question to ask ourselves, what do we allow into our lives in place of God? The little false gods of the world, will never be able to fix, solve or help us in anyway! What we need to do is worship and trust the creator of the universe!

Pray that Adonai your God will tell us what direction to take and what to do.”

God told Achav that he would be cut off, even though he repented, the damage of sin has already been done! God hears us when we repent, He heals us when we call and removes our sin! But understand sin has repercussions!

“Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows.”
