“But David answered Rekhav and Ba’ anah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Be’eroti, As Adonai lives, who has rescued me from every kind of difficulty.”
2 Samuel 4:9 CJB

We don’t have to take things into our own hands, like these two young men did, taking the head of Ish-Boshet. The LORD will take care of everything. He doesn’t need our help!

“He delivers me from my enemies. You lift me high above my enemies, you rescue me from violent men.”
Psalm 18:49 CJB

Often times we worry about things that really don’t matter, but what does matter is the LORD and what He is doing! So don’t get distracted or try to take things in your own hands!

“But thanks be to God, who in the Messiah constantly leads us in a triumphal procession and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of what it means to know Him!”
2 Corinthians 2:14 CJB

Today, know the LORD has it all worked out. All we have to do is spread His fragrance of sweet salvation!
Have a blessed day!

“The king sang this lament over Avner: Should Avaner have died like a thug?”
2 Samuel 3:33 CJB

Do we weep for our enemies? Or do we cheer when they fall? We should weep and lament over them, especially if they are not saved!

“But I tell you, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!”
Matthew 5:44 CJB

We need to pray for those who are against us, because in reality they are against the LORD! The LORD tells us to love and pray for our enemies, so we should!

“Listen to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I pray to You.”
Psalm 5:2 CJB

Today, let’s be like the LORD, who prays for those who are against Him!
Have a blessed day praying!

“For six days, you are to work. But on the seventh day, you are to rest, so that your ox and donkey can rest, and your slave-girl’s son and the foreigner be rewarded.”
Exodus 23:12 CJB

We all need to work and that’s how we live, but one day a week we need to take a break!

“On the seventh day you are to have a holy convocation; do not do any kind of ordinary work.”
Numbers 28:25 CJB

The LORD really wants us to take a break and make one day a week special, knowing it will be blessing for us!

“You yourselves, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be cohanim set apart for God to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to Him through Yeshua the Messiah.”
1 Peter 2:5 CJB

When we take a break and spend time with the LORD, we will always be blessed!
Have an amazing day!
Shabbat Shalom.

“After this, David consulted Adonai; he asked, Should I go up into any of the cities of Y’hudah? Adonai sad to him, Go up. David asked, Where should I go up? He said, too Hevron.”
2 Samuel 2:1 CJB

We should do the same, before we do anything we should consult the LORD!

“They go down to Egypt but don’t consult Me, seeking refuge in Pharaoh’s protection, seeking shelter in Egypt’s shadow.”
Isaiah 30:2 CJB

We need to be real careful of seeking help from the world before we seek the LORD! The world will always let us down the LORD will never let us down!

“If I were you, I would seek God; I would make my plea to Him.”
Job 5:8 CJB

Today, let’s seek the LORD not the world we will always be blessed! Have a blessed day consulting the LORD!
Shabbat Shalom.

“On the third day, there came a man from Sha’ul’s camp with his clothes torn and earth on his head. He approached David, fell to the ground and prostrated himself.”
2 Samuel 1:2 CJB

Here we see great mourning and anguish at the death of Saul and his sons! We also can go through rough times and be in distress and anguish. The good news is the LORD has us and will comfort us!

“In my distress my comfort is this: that your promise gives me life.”
Psalm 119:50 CJB

When we are in distress and have situations going against us in life, all we have to do is call on the LORD! He is always there!

“Adonai is close to all who call on Him, to all who sincerely call on Him.”
Psalm 145:18 CJB

So no matter what is going on around you, just remember, the LORD is only a call away! Have a blessed day knowing you don’t have to live in anguish, because we have the LORD!
