Devotions

“He did what was evil from the perspective of Adonai, following the example of everything Y’hoyakim (Jehoiakim) had done.”
2 Kings 24:19 CJB

Here we see most of the kings of Judah and Israel followed the bad kings, doing all kinds of evil! What they didn’t seem to get was following evil always leads you into captivity!

“Don’t follow the path of the wicked or walk on the way of evildoers.”
Proverbs 4:14 CJB

The word of God is filled with warnings not to follow evil, but to walk in the ways of Adonai.

“Your word is a lamp for my foot and light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105

Today, let’s walk in the ways of Adonai and be blessed staying away from evil ways, which always lead to destruction!
May your day be richly blessed!

“He desecrated the Tofet fire pit in the Ben-Hinnom Valley, so that no one could cause his son or daughter to pass through fire [as a sacrifice] to Molekh.”
2 Kings 23:10 CJB

Here we see Josiah removing what is one of the most horrible things imaginable, the place for sacrificing children! God doesn’t let this sin go unpunished and we need to keep that in mind. As it seems our country continues in it!

“Adonai said, Just as I removed Israel, I will remove Y’hudah (Judah) out of My sight; and I will reject this city, which I chose, Jerusalem, and the house concerning which I said, My name will be there.”
2 Kings 23:27 CJB

This should be real sobering to us, because the world seems to have a love affair with the sacrificing of children! We as believers need to keep that in mind. As the world gets darker we need to shine brighter, knowing God is not slack concerning judgment!

“And you brothers who are doing what is good, don’t slack off!”
2 Thessalonians 3:13 CJB

Today, let’s realize that even though God’s judgment is coming, we need to be watching and praying in every situation to share the hope of salvation!
Have a blessed day in Adonai!

“However, they did not require an accounting from the supervisors given the money to spend, because they dealt honestly.”
2 Kings 22:7 CJB

When we are honest we don’t have to worry about explaining things! Being honest and telling the truth always is the best way to go!

“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:32 CJB

When we tell and speak the truth it will always set us free from lies and deceptions!

“He who tells the truth furthers justice, but a false witness furthers deceit.”
Proverbs 12:17 CJB

Today, let’s tell people the truth not only about Adonai, but also about everything we do! When we are honest we are free!
Have a blessed day living Yeshua’s freedom!

“Lot went out and spoke with his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, Get up and leave this place, because Adonai is going to destroy the city. But his sons-in-law didn’t take him seriously.”
Genesis 19:14 CJB

This happens to us today. People don’t take us seriously when we speak of Adonai! They just don’t believe! Also the reason they may have not have taken Lot seriously is because he was living in sin city with them! He compromised his witness, turning a blind eye to the sin around him! We need to be warning and inviting people to Yeshua, He is going to appear just as He promised, don’t compromise!

“Not one good thing that Adonai had spoken of to the household of Israel failed to happen; it all took place.”
Joshua 21:43 CJB

In other words, God keeps all His promises and He never waivers! We just need to keep sharing His good news, even when we are rejected!

“But if the people of a house or town will not welcome you or listen to you, leave it and shake its dust from your feet!”
Matthew 10:14 CJB

Today, even tough we may feel rejected, always remember in our times of trouble Adonai will appear!
Have a blessed day warning and sharing!
Shabbat Shalom!

“He did what was evil from Adonai’s perspective, following the disgusting practice of the nations whom Adonai had expelled ahead of the people of Israel.”
2 Kings 21:2 CJB

Something that we all should notice is that much of the world around us loves and practices evil (disgusting practices)! The world is acting just like Manasseh and God will deal with it! Remember Israel ended up in captivity!

“But if you will not do this, then you have sinned against Adonai, and you must understand that your sin will find you out.”
Numbers 32:23 CJB

So what are we to do? We are to walk in the ways of Adonai and share His good news of salvation! We as believers know what is coming for the world, but we also know what’s coming with Yeshua!

“Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows.”
Galatians 6:7 CJB

Today, let’s focus on God and not the evil world!
Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!
