Devotions

“They answered him, A man came to meet us. He told us to return to the king who sent us, and tell him, Here is what Adonai says: Is it because there’s no God in Israel that you’re sending to consult Baal-Z’vuv the god of Ekron? Therefore you will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will certainly die.”
2 Kings 1:6 CJB

What we should see here is when we run after false gods we will always be let down and disappointed!

“All who worship images will be put to shame, those who make their boast in worthless idols. Bow down to Him, all you gods.”
Psalm 97:7 CJB

To avoid earthly disasters, seek God and not false worldly gods which lead to destruction!

“As my life was ebbing away, I remembered Adonai; and my prayer came in to You, into Your holy temple.”
Jonah 2:8 CJB verse 7 in other translations.

As Jonah was being swallowed by the giant fish, he didn’t seek worldly gods, but the creator of the universe! So seek God in every situation and stay away from worldly gods!
Have a blessed day seeking Adonai!

“The king of Israel said to Y’hoshafat, I will disguise myself and go into battle; but you, put on your robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.”
1 Kings 22:30 CJB

Even though Ahab repented, there were still consequences for sin! He thought he could disguise himself to get away it, but you can’t hide from God!

“The eyes of Adonai are everywhere, watching the evil and the good.”
Proverbs 15:3 CJB

Adonai sees it all and knows it all, so we need to be careful of thinking we can get away with sin! We can’t!

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

Be careful of trying to disguise your sin or think your covering things up before Adonai! Instead be open with Him in prayer!
Have a blessed day!

“Ach’av, on hearing these words, tore his clothes, put sackcloth on himself and fasted. He slept in sackcloth and went about dejectedly.”
1 Kings 21:27 CJB

Here we see Achav take to heart what Adonai says, repent or die!
When we humble ourselves and repent, God is faithful and just to forgive!

“Humble yourselves before the LORD, and He will lift you up.”
James 4:10 CJB

We should take great joy that as bad as we can be, God will always forgive when we repent!

“If we acknowledge our sins, then, since He is trustworthy and just, He will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing.”
1 John 1:9 CJB

The key to forgiveness is always repenting! So, let’s be thankful that God forgives us when we repent!
Have a blessed day rejoicing in salvation!
Shabbat Shalom!
