Serve with joy

“How happy your people must be, how happy these servants of yours who are always here attending you and get to hear your wisdom!”
2 Chronicles 9:7 CJB

When we serve Adonai, people will notice and see the good He is doing through you and want to be part of it!

“This has come from Adonai, and in our eyes it is amazing.”
Psalm 118:23 CJB

Are we looking to see the amazing things that Adonai is doing or are we looking to the disasters of the world?

“Stop dwelling on past events and brooding over times gone by; I am doing something new; it’s springing up-can’t you see it? I am making a road in the desert, rivers in the wasteland, for My chosen people to drink, the people I formed for myself, so that they would proclaim My praise.”
Isaiah 43:19-21 CJB

We were made to praise Adonai and glorify Him in all things! So let’s just do that today!
Have a blessed day glorifying Adonai!

Decent and in order!

“All the work of Shlomo was organized in this way from the day ground was broken for the house of Adonai until everything has been accomplished, and the house of Adonai has been completed.”
2 Chronicles 8:16 CJB

When we do things for Adonai everything should be done decently and in order! The way God does everything, decently and in order!

“For God is not a God of unruliness but of shalom. As in all the congregations of God’s people.”
1 Corinthians 14:33 CJB

Understand God desires us to be orderly and peaceful, not chaotic like the unbelieving world is!

“But let all things be done in a proper and orderly way.”
1 Corinthians 14:40 CJB

So let’s be believers that do things decently and in order like our God is!
Have a blessed day in Him!

Seek God’s glory

“All the people of Israel saw when the fire came down, and the glory of Adonai was on the house; they bowed down with their faces to the ground on the flooring; prostrating themselves, they gave thanks to Adonai, For He is good, for His grace continues forever.”
2 cChronicles 7:3 CJB

Do we look to see how good Adonai is and the great things He is doing? Or do we look at all the negative and rotten things the world is doing?

“Give thanks to Adonai; for He is good, for His grace continues forever.”
1 Chronicles 16:34 CJB

Things are always going to be better when we are seeking God’s glory!

“My mouth is full of praise for You, filled with Your glory all day long.”
Psalm 71:8 CJB

What is your mouth full of, God’s glory and praise, or the complaints and vileness of the World?
Let our mouths be full of His praises!

Grafted in

“But now I have chosen Yerushalayim, so that My name can be there; and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.”
2 Chronicles 6:6 CJB

I love the fact that God shows us throughout scripture that Jerusalem and Israel are His, it is a people (Jewish people) and a geographic location (Israel)! The good news is we are “Grafted In” because of the grace of God!

“Great is Adonai and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, His holy mountain, beautiful in its elevation, the joy of all the earth, Mount Tziyon, in the far north, the city of the great king.”
Psalm 48:1-2 CJB

This is why we need to pray for God’s holy city and His people which includes you and I!

“But you are a chosen people, the King’s cohanim, a holy nation, a people for God to possess! Why? In order for you to declare the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”
1 Peter 2:9 CJB

What a great reminder for us, we are chosen by God to be part of His chosen people and nation, by His amazing grace!
Have a blessed day knowing you are part of God’s Kingdom!

God directs

“There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets Moshe put there at Horev, when Adonai made the covenant with the people of Israel at the time of their leaving Egypt.”
2 Chronicles 5:10 CJB

Interesting. God saves Israel from Egypt(the world), then gives them His perfect commands on how to live! Same for us. He saves us from the world and gives us His perfect instructions on how to live! How?

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

God gives us His word on how to walk uprightly so we don’t have to stumble through life!

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

God is so good that He covers us with His hand of salvation and His word to direct our paths!
Have a blessed day following Him!
