“Thus Sha’ul, his three sons, his armor-bearer and all his men died that same day together.”
1 Samuel 31:6 CJB

God really doesn’t let anyone get away with sinning without repenting! The problem is when we blatantly sin it will affect other people, especially family members and acquaintances!
Sin is a cancer that grows and kills, not only the sinner but those around them!

“But if you will not do this, then you have sinned against Adonai, and you must understand that your sin will find you out.”
Numbers 32;23 CJB

Never think that you can get away with even a little sin or think that your sin only affects you! It doesn’t! We can even take it a step further: our unrepentant leaders who are doing evil things that affect all of us! What do we do? Pray!

“Then, if My people, who bear My name, will humble themselves, pray, seek My face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 CJB

Today, we need to not only pray and repent for ourselves, but we need to pray for others to repent also! Don’t waste time pointing out the obvious sinners, but instead pray for them, God will deal with the ones He needs to!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“So when David and his men arrived at the city, there it was, burned down, with their wives, sons and daughters taken captive.”
1 Samuel 30:3 CJB

David goes from being hunted, rejected and now everything is taken away from him! His men want to stone him to death and what does he do next? He calls on Adonai!

“David was in serious trouble: the people were talking about stoning him to death, because all the people were in such deep grief, each man over his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in Adonai his God.”
1 Samuel 30:6 CJB

When we hit the proverbial wall or our back is up against it, what do we do? Do we call on God? Or do we reach out to everything and everybody we can? We need to call on God first and then wait for Him to answer!

“On the day of my trouble I am calling on you, for you will answer me.”
Psalm 86:7 CJB

We all have things in life that will blind side us! What we need to do is not panic, but simply call on Adonai and wait for Him to answer, because He always answers!
Have a blessed day resting in the peace only God can give!

“Akhish answered David, I know that you are as good, from my point of view, as an angel of God. Nevertheless, the chiefs of the Philistines have said, He is not to go up with us to the battlefield.”
1 Samuel 29:9 CJB

David, was rejected by his own and now rejected by the Philistines! As believers we can be like David completely all alone! The good news is with Adonai we are never alone!

“Turn to me, and show favor; for I am alone and oppressed.”
Psalm 25:16 CJB

Anytime we feel alone, we need to call upon Adonai for comfort. He will always answer and He never fails!

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

Today, understand we will always be rejected by the world, which is good when we are walking with Adonai! Also any problem we have we will find comfort in Adonai!
Have a blessed day living in the comforting area of Yeshua!

“When Sha’ul (Saul) saw the army of the Philistine, he became afraid-it struck terror in his heart.”
1 Samuel 28:5 CJB

When we, like Saul, decide to do things on our own and the enemy comes up against us, we can become afraid! We shouldn’t even try to do the smallest things without Adonai, we really need Him for everything!

“Adonai is a stronghold for the oppressed, a tower of strength in times of trouble.”
Psalm 9:9 CJB

When we practice giving all to Adonai, even in the simplest of tasks, it will always help us when the bigger issues come upon us!

“Seek Adonai and His strength; always seek His presence.”
Psalm 105:4 CJB

Today, realize every little situation, good or bad, is allowed by Adonai, so we need to continuously call upon Him for help!
Have a blessed day calling on Adonai!

“And Akhish believed him; he said, David has caused his own people Israel to despise him utterly; he will be my servant forever.”
1 Samuel 27:17 CJB

This is what happens when we hang out in the world, it starts to accept us as its own and we start to get comfortable in it!

“Be aware that Adonai is God; it is he who made us; and we are His, His people, the flock in His pasture.”
Psalm 100:3

We really need to be a people who are all about Adonai! Why? Because He has us and understand we should never be comfortable in the world! We need faith!

“Thus, faith by itself, unaccompanied by actions, is daed.”
James 2:17 CJB

Today, let’a be mindful of where we are and who we are with!
Have a blessed day!
