Devotions

“David grew greater and greater, because Adonai-Tzva’ot was with him.”
1 Chronicles 11:9 CJB

The reason David grew greater and greater is because the LORD was with him! It wasn’t because he had special skills or a deeper knowledge, it was simply because the LORD was with him! The same goes for us, the LORD is with us and anything that is great is because of the LORD!

“0Great is Adonai and greatly to be praised; His greatness is beyond all searching out.”
Psalm 145:3 CJB

Be careful of looking at our failures or problems, but instead look to the LORD and His greatness! David had difficulties and they got worse when he took his eyes ofF the LORD!

“May the favor of Adonai our God be on us, prosper for us all the work we do-yes, prosper the work that we do.”
Psalm 90:17 CJB

Today, if you want greatness in your life, then keep your eyes on the LORD and realize, greatness might not be fame and fortune. Greatness is only found in the LORD!
Have a blessed day looking to Him!

“So Saul died for transgression he committed against Adonai, because of the word of Adonai that he did not keep and because he sought the counsel of a spirit instead of consulting Adonai. Therefore Adonai put him to death and turned the rulership over to David the son of Yishai (Jessie).”
1 Chronicles 10:13-14 CJB

When we disobey the LORD and do our own thing, we will get found out and the LORD will put an end to it!

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

Know that we need to repent of our sins, but we need to be careful of trying to point out someone else! The LORD will deal with them, if a ministry is fleecing, a politician stealing or someone is just lying, it’s not up to us to straighten them out! Remember, the LORD doesn’t need our help to point things out! What we need to do is pray!

“When I acknowledge my sin to You, when I stopped concealing my guilt, and said, I will confess my offenses to Adonai; then you, you forgave the guilt of my sin.”
Psalm 32:5 CJB

Today, let’s repent about our wrong doing and pray for others, knowing the LORD has it all covered!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“”Their kinsmen the L’vi’im (Levites) were put in charge of all the service of the tabernacle of the house of God.”
1 Chronicles 6:33 CJB

Just like the Levites, the LORD has put us in charge to share His good news and taking care of the needs of His tabernacle!

“But you are 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

We, as believers, have a special privilege and responsibility to share the good news! We all have to step up and step out and share His Good News of Salvation!

“Sing praises to Adonai, who lives in Tziyon; proclaim His deeds among the peoples.”
Psalm 9:11 CJB

Today, let’s get serious about our responsibility to share the Good News of Salvation! The times we are living in makes sharing much more urgent as we see the world rapidly falling apart!
Have a blessed day sharing the Salvation of the LORD!

“But they broke faith with God of their ancestors and prostituted themselves to the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed ahead of them.”
1 Chronicles 5:25 CJB

We all need to be careful of falling into worldliness like what happened here! God gave them victory by defeating their enemies, but they slipped back into being in the world and giving in to its temptations!

“Eliyahu stepped forward before all the people and said, How long are you going to jump back and forth between two positions? If Adonai is God, follow him; but if it’s Ba’al, follow him! The people answered him not a word.”
1 Kings 18:21 CJB

Every day we have to make choices, do we fall into worldliness or follow the LORD? We won’t fail if we choose to follow the LORD!

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

Today, spend time in His word and seek His instructions before you look to anything else!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Ya’betz (Jabez) called on the God of Israel: Please bless me by enlarging my territory. May Your hand be with me! Keep me from harm, so that it will not cause me pain. God granted his request.”
1 Chronicles 4:10 CJB

God will always grant our prayers when our prayers are in line with His will! Our prayers should always be about enlarging His kingdom and His ministry!

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

The LORD grants us His blessings so that we can proclaim how great He is! The most important thing we can do with our lives is to glorify the LORD and shine for Him!

“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 pray for the LORD to enlarge our boundaries, so we can be part of enlarging His Kingdom!
Have a blessed day proclaiming His Holiness!
