Follow God

“He did what was right from Adonai’s perspective, living entirely in the manner of David his ancestor and turning away neither to the right nor to the left.”
2 Kings 22:2 CJB

In comparison to Manasseh and other kings, King Josiah is the complete opposite, he devoted his life to God and walked in His ways! With that said; we can see that his life was significantly blessed by walking with and seeking God!

“Adonai is alive! Blessed is my Rock! Exalted be God, the Rock of my Salvation.”
2 Samuel 22:47 CJB

As many problems and issues going on in the world around us, if we simply just walk with God, our Rock, we can and will see His blessings in our lives!

“Then I will be joyful in Adonai, I will rejoice in His Salvation.”
Psalm 35:9 CJB

So don’t be stressed but, instead be blessed in how good Adonai is, knowing He has all things covered, so simply just follow Him!
Have a blessed day following Adonai!

Be obedient

“Moreover, M’nasheh shed so much innocent blood that he flooded Yerushalayim from one end to the other-this in addition to his sin through which he caused Y’hudah to sin by doing what is evil from Adonai’s perspective.”
2 Kings 21:16 CJB

Here we see Manasseh’s reign where he is as bad as you can get, leading the people into all kinds of sadistic pagan practices! he even sacrifices his own son to Moloch! There is always an end to what God will allow, He will deal with disobedience!

“Sh’mu’el said, Does Adonai take as much pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying what Adonai says? Surely obeying is better than sacrifice, and heeding orders than fat of rams.”
1 Samuel 15:22 CJB

God really desires us to do what He says not what we want!

“For loving God means obeying his commands. Moreover, His commands are not burdensome.”
1 John 5:3 CJB

Life is always going to be better when we listen to God and do life His way! His ways are always easier, so let’s walk in them!
Have a blessed day studying the Word of God and then doing what it says!

Be alert

“Yesha`yahu (Isaiah) asked, What have they seen in your palace? They have seen everything in my palace, said Hizkiyahu. There isn’t a thing among my treasures that I haven’t shown them.”
2 Kings 20:15 CJB

Hezekiah made a big mistake here, showing everything to his enemy! We also need to be careful of showing off everything to our enemy, but be on guard instead!

“Stay alert! Be on your guard! For you do not know when the time will come.”
Mark 13:33 CJB

Only God knows the day and the hour of everything to come, so we need to stay alert and be awake!

“And what I say to you, I say to everyone: stay alert.”
Mark 13:37 CJB

We don’t know the day that Adonai is going to call us home, but we know the seasons we are living in so stay alert! Things happen fast!
Have a blessed day being on guard!
Shabbat Shalom!

Praise Adonai

“Now therefore, Adonai our God, please save us from his power-so that all the kingdoms on earth will know that you are Adonai, God-You only.”
2 Kings 19:19 CJB

When great things are done do we take credit or do we give God all the glory?

“I call on Adonai, who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies.”
2 Samuel 22:4 CJB

When we have trials and we will, we need to call on Adonai, who will save us and we need to praise Him before, during and after the trial!

“Tell God, How awesome are Your deeds! At your great power, Your enemies cringe.”
Psalm 66:3 CJB

Our enemies may seem powerful, but to God they are nothing! So let’s enjoy His glorious power and praise Him everywhere and anywhere!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
