Devotions

“When King David heard about these things, he became very angry.”
2 Samuel 13:21 CJB

We see here David getting angry, but doesn’t actually deal with the issues. Often times when we get angry, we end up making harsh and bad decisions, not dealing with the situation!

“May Adonai give strength to His people! May Adonai bless His people with shalom!”
Psalm 29:11 CJB

When adverse situations happen, we really need the peace of the LORD, not the influence of the world!

“For the sake of my family and friends, I say, Shalom be within you!”
Psalm 128:6 CJB

So today, don’t get angry, seek the LORD and His Shalom (peace).
Have a blessed day!

“David exploded with anger against the man and said to Natan, As Adonai lives, the man who did this deserves to die!”
2 Samuel 12:5 CJB

We need to be careful of how we judge others, especially since we may have done or are doing the same thing!

“Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
Luke 6:37 CJB

We need to listen and pray before we speak. Often times, we have no idea what is happening in other people’s lives, so we should show grace!

“Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted; and forgive each other, just as in the Messiah God has also forgiven you.”
Ephesians 4:32 CJB

Today, realize, the LORD has forgiven us and gives us grace, so should we!
Have a blessed day!

“In the letter he wrote, Put Uriyah on the front lines of the fiercest fighting; then pull back from him, so that he will be wounded and killed.”
2 Samuel 11:15 CJB

Here we see David trying to cover up his sin instead of just confessing it! Sin always will blind and bind us when we continue in it!

“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

Sin will bring us sorrow and it will affect our whole family! What do we do? Confess!

“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

Today, realize, if we just confess our sins and not hide them the LORD will free us and we can move on to better things!
May your day be richly blessed as we seek the LORD!

“Take courage, and let’s be strong for the sake of our people and the cities of our God. May Adonai do what seems good to Him.”
2 Samuel 10:12 CJB

Just like David’s army we may feel surrounded and all alone while the world is coming against us. Remember, the LORD is with us and has us covered!

“No one will be able to withstand you as long as you live. Just as I was with Moshe, so I will be with you. I will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
Joshua 1:5 CJB

Even if we feel like the world is crashing down around us know that it’s gonna be ok. Why? Because the LORD has us and it’s all part of His plan.

“It is better to take refuge in Adonai than to trust in human beings.”
Psalm 118:8 CJB

Life isn’t always smooth sailing it’s full of ups and downs, twists and curves and mountains and valleys. Realize even in those situations its all part of the LORDS plan and he’ll get you through!
Have a blessed day.
