“The ark of God stayed with the family of ‘Oved-Edom the Gitti in his house for three months; and Adonai blessed the household of ‘Oved-Edom and all he had.”

Like Oved(Obed)-Edom when we have God in our house we will be blessed!

“I was glad when they said to me, The house of Adonai! Let’s go!”
Psalm 122:1 CJB

Anytime we can dwell in the house of Adonai or have Adonai permeate our house we are going to be glad! How can we have God in our home? By getting rid of the worldly things that dwell there! Like bad media, bad movies and bad music, then replacing it with godly stuff, being in His word and singing praises!

“Just one thing have I asked of Adonai; only this will I seek: to live in the house of Adonai all the days of my life, to see the beauty of Adonai and visit in His temple.”

Today, we all have a choice to make: bring godly and holy stuff into our houses or allow the junk of the world in!
Have a blessed day bringing godly stuff in!

“All this is because Abraham heeded what I said and did what I told him to do-he followed my mitzvot, my regulations and my teachings.”

Have a blessed day!

“They were archers who could use either hand to sling stones or shoot arrows from a bow; they were Sha’ul’s kinsmen from Binyamin (Benjamin).”
1 Chronicles 12:2 CJB

God has given us all skills so we can serve Him! We also need to be able to use those skills to defend ourselves from the world around us! What skill do we all have at our disposal? His Word!

“Your word is a lamp for my foot and light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105 CJB

We will always find the skills we need for this battle of life in the word of God, it has everything we need!

“The three broke through the army of the P’lishtim (Philistines), drew water from the well by the gate of Beit-Lechem (Bethlehem), took it and brought it to David. But David would not drink it; instead, he poured it out to Adonai.”
1 Chronicles 11:18 CJB

Do we sacrifice for Adonai and are we willing give unto Adonai! This is what David’s men did for David and then David gave all to Adonai! Even bigger was what Yeshua did for all of us. He came into the gates of the enemy and poured Himself out for us all!

“I am poured out like water; all My bones are out of joint; My heart has becomes like wax-it melts Me.”
Psalm 22:14 CJB

In other words: “He took our hell that we might share His heaven.” J.Vernon McGee. This is something we need to be totally thankful for!

1 Chronicles 16:34 CJB

Today, let’s be believers who sacrificially give and ones who are so thankful for what Adonai gave!
Have a blessed day being Thankful!

“Now the P’lishtim (Philistines) pressed their attack on Israel; and the men of Israel fled before the P’lishtim, leaving their dead on Mount Gilboa.”
1 Chronicles 10:1 CJB

Here we see Saul do everything God told him not to do and now he and those who followed them were left dead on Mount Gilboa! Every time we go against God we will fall into the hands of our enemy! What do we do to not fall in the same trap?

“I treasure Your word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against You.”
Psalm 119:11 CJB

We can’t just treasure the word of God we also need to obey it!

“Don’t deceive yourselves by only hearing what the Word says, but do it!”
James 1:22 CJB

Today, let’s not be like Saul and ignore the word of God, but instead let’s hear it and do it!
Have a blessed day!
