Devotions

“On reaching the hill, he took the bags from them and put them away in the house. Then he let the men go, and they left.”
2 Kings 5:24 CJB

Here we see Gehazi take things he wanted but didn’t need or couldn’t use then hide them! Do we hide things that we can’t use or have no need for? Do we actually think that it’s hidden from the LORD?

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

Since the LORD sees and knows all, we can’t get away with anything so let’s not try!

“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

Realize, nothing is hidden from the LORD, He sees all and knows all!

“Adonai made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of disaster.”
Proverbs 16:4 CJB

Today, let’s make everything about the LORD not holding anything back!
Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!

“When the containers were full, she said to her son, Bring me another container; but he answered, There isn’t another container. Then the oil stopped flowing.”
2 Kings 4:6 CJB

Two thoughts here, does God stop giving or does God only give us as much as we need? It could be both, depending on our heart or even our situation!

“I am Adonai your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth, and I will fill it.”
Psalm 81:10 CJB

The question is, are we empty vessels willing to be filled by the LORD? Or are we filled with pride and self reliance? We need to be empty of self and open to the LORD!

“Moreover, my God will fill every need of yours according to His glorious wealth, in union with Messiah Yeshua.”
Philippians 4:19 CJB

So the other thought here is the LORD gives us just what we need, because that’s all we need! The LORD, I believe, gives freely of every spiritual desire. We often confuse spiritual with material.

“For I, Adonai, your God, say to you, as I hold your right hand, Have no fear; I will help you.”
Isaiah 41:13 CJB

Today, let’s be honest about what we need versus what we want, then call upon the LORD and watch what He does!
Have a blessed day!

“That’s an easy thing to do, from Adonai’s perspective. He will also hand Mo’av over to you.”
2 Kings 3:18 CJB

Everything is easy from the LORD’S perspective, including our problems!

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways, says Adonai. As high as the sky is above the earth are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9 CJB

Even when we look around at the things going on around as confusing, not making any sense! Our LORD sees them as a perfect way to Him. He has it all covered! He knows it all is gonna work according to His perfect plan!

“For I know what plans I have in mind for you,’ says Adonai,’plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 CJB

Remember, no matter how things may look, everything is gonna work out alright according to the LORD’S perspective, not ours!
Have a blessed day, knowing no matter how things look, it’s gonna work out perfectly in the LORD!

“The time came for Adonai to take Eliyahu up into heaven in a whirlwind. Eliyahu and Elisha were on their way to Gilgal.”
2 Kings 2:1 CJB

Our time to be taken up to be with the LORD will happen soon enough! So we need to make our time here count for the LORD!

“Sing to Adonai, all the earth! Proclaim His victory day after day!”
1 Chronicles 16:23 CJB

As the day fast approaches for the LORD to call us home, we need to make every moment count for Him!

“May the glory of Adonai last forever! May Adonai rejoice in His works!”
Psalm 104:31 CJB

Today, realize, time is really short and we need to use it wisely to glorify the LORD!
Have a blessed day glorifying Him!

“But an angel of Adonai said to Eliyahu from Tishbe, Get up. and intercept the messengers of the king of Shomron, and ask them, Is it because there’s no God in Israel that you’re on your way to consult Ba’al-Z’vuv the god of Ekron?”
2 Kings 1:3 CJB

Don’t seek the advice of the world before you seek the advice of the LORD! Always seek the LORD first!

“Seek Adonai and His strength; always seek His presence.”
Psalm 105:4 CJB

We will always be better off when we seek the LORD first in any situation! Get into a habit of talking to the LORD about everything!

“Pray regularly.”
1 Thessalonians 5:17 CJB

We need to make prayer and seeking the LORD a regular habit!

“Seek Adonai while He is available, call on Him while He is nearby.”
Isaiah 55:6 CJB

Don’t wait to call on the LORD, don’t look to worldly advice, but always call on the LORD first and wait for an answer!
Have a blessed day seeking the LORD, knowing He is always nearby!
