“He did what was right from Adonai’s perspective, following the example of everything his father`Uziyahu had done, except that he did not enter the temple of Adonai. Nevertheless, the people acted corruptly.”
2 Chronicles 27:2 CJB

We can learn from others and do what is right, but we can take that lesson to an extreme also! His father Uzziah went into the temple in an arrogant, prideful and ungodly manner and left a leper! Jotham didn’t go in at all and look how the people acted! Our actions can influence those around us, in this case the people acted corruptly!

“Human being, you have already been told what is good, what Adonai demands of you-no more than to act justly, love grace and walk in purity with your God.”
Micah 6:8 CJB

During the days of Jotham he had great prophets around him: Isaiah, Hosea and Micah, and they gave clear direction on how to walk with Adonai! But because in one area the neglect of setting time to go and worship God in His house, the people noticed and acted corruptly! We need to lead!

“With upright heart he shepherded them and guided them with skillful hands.”
Psalm 78:72 CJB

Like king David, God has given us all the tools and instructions found throughout His Word to be leaders, guides and comforters! The question is are we using them?
Have a blessed day being godly leaders!

“But when he was strong, he became arrogant, which caused him to become corrupt, so that he sinned against Adonai his God by going into the temple of Adonai to burn incense on the incense altar.”
2 Chronicles 26:16 CJB

Sadly, this happens to believers. God blesses their ministry and they become strong, then pride kicks in and they start doing things they weren’t meant to do! Pride can destroy!

“Pride goes before destruction, and arrogance before failure.”
Proverbs 16:18 CJB

Here is a good saying: “Stay humble or you will stumble!” Remember our strength is in Adonai!

“God is our refuge and strength, and ever-present help in trouble”
Psalm 46:1 CJB

Life is full of challenges, but when we make God our refuge and strength the challenges will become easier!
Have a blessed day!

“As a result, the anger of Adonai blazed up against Amatzyah, and He sent him a prophet, who said to him, Why have you sought out the gods of those people, when they couldn’t even rescue their own people from you?”
2 Chronicles 25:15 CJB

Why would anyone worship anything, especially a god that couldn’t even save their enemy? The gods of this world can’t save you, they can only deceive you!

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who change darkness into light and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter!”
Isaiah 5:20 CJB

The world is full of deception, the enemy is a liar and deceiver looking for those who he can devour with his false and misleading gods! So be on guard and stand on the truth of Yeshua to guide and direct you!

“Yeshua said, I AM the Way-and the Truth and Life; no one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6 CJB

If you don’t want to be deceived, then follow Yeshua and walk in His ways!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Yo’ash did what was right from Adonai’s perspective throughout the lifetime of Y’hoyada the Cohen.”
2 Chronicles 24:2 CJB

When we do what is right through the perspective of Adonai, it will always be a blessing to us!

“Doing Your will, my God, is my joy; Your Torah is my inmost being.”
Psalm 40:8 CJB

Again, doing God’s will always give us joy, following His word is always going to lead to His blessings and never question: did we do the right thing!

“But may all who seek You be glad and take joy in You. May those who love Your salvation say always, Adonai is great and glorious!”
Psalm 40:16 CJB

Seeking Adonai should always be our greatest joy! Why? Because He has given us salvation and His Word on how to walk in it!
So let’s do what’s right, by walking in His ways today!
Shabbat Shalom!
