Devotions

“For when Shlomo became old, his heart away toward other gods; so that he was not wholehearted with Adonai his God, as David his father had been.”
1 Kings 11:4 CJB

A good question we all should ask: is there anything turning us from God? Life presents us with many distractions, careers, health issues and financial issues! Understand God cares about all aspects of our lives, so don’t be distracted by other gods!

“At that time many will be trapped into betraying and hating each other, many false prophets will appear and fool many people; and many people’s love will grow cold because of increased distance from Torah.”
Matthew 24:10-12 CJB

Just like Solomon allowed worldly influences into his life that made his heart colder towards God! We can also allow worldly influences into our lives and become colder towards God!
So what do we do?

“Stay united with Me, as I will with you-for just as the branch can’t put forth fruit by itself apart from the vine, so you can’t bear fruit apart from Me.”
John 15:4 CJB

Life is hard and has many ups and downs. What we need to know is we can’t do it without Adonai! So abide in Him, cling to Him, knowing He has got you!
Have a blessed day clinging to Adonai!

“How happy your people must be, how happy these servants of yours who are always here attending you and get to hear your wisdom!”
1 Kings 10:8 CJB

When we are fully immersed in Adonai, we will always be happy because His wisdom surpasses anything we can imagine!

“With God are wisdom and power; He has [good] counsel and understanding.”
Job 12:13 CJB

When we put all our hope and trust in Yeshua and nothing else, we will always see and hear His wisdom, which brings us great joy!

“Enter His gates with thanksgiving, enter His courtyards with praise; give thanks to Him, and bless His name.”
Psalm 100:4 CJB

We can see the world around is totally going crazy and the people running it seem to be insane! Just turn on the T.V., internet or radio for five minutes for proof! The answer is always going to be found in Adonai, who has all the wisdom we need!
May your day be blessed seeking the wisdom of Adonai!

“Adonai said to him, I have heard your prayer and your plea that you made before Me: I am consecrating this house which you built and placing My name there forever; My eyes and heart will always be there.”
1 Kings 9:3 CJB

God always hears our prayers and is always watching over us!

“Understand that Adonai sets apart the godly person for himself; Adonai will hear when I call to him.”
Psalm 4:3 CJB

We who belong to God are set apart for Himself and the amazing thing is He hears and answers us when we call, so keep praying!

“Before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear.”
Isaiah 65:24 CJB

How cool is this that Adonai is already answering us before we even call! Does that mean we shouldn’t call! No! That should mean we should talk to Adonai even more because He listens!
Have a blessed day calling on Adonai!

“Blessed be Adonai, who has given rest to His people Israel, in accordance with everything He promised. Not one word has failed of His good promise, which He made through Moshe His servant.”
1 Kings 8:56 CJB

The idea here is that everything God promises happens, He keeps every one of them!

“Today I am going the way of all the earth. Therefore consider in all your heart and being that not one of all the things Adonai your God said concerning you has failed to happen; it has all come to pass; nothing has failed.”
Joshua 23:14 CJB

Everything that God promises has happened or will happen, His promises never fail!

He said: “He will never leave us or forsake us.”
Hebrews 13:5

We can count on God!

“God is not a human who lies or a mortal who changes His mind. When He says something, He will do it; when He makes a promise, He will fulfill it.”
Numbers 23:19 CJB

So glad we don’t serve a God who changes His mind! He means what He says and says what He means!
Our God is solid and totally reliable!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
