Look to the light

“Achazyah was forty-two years old when he began his reign, and he ruled for one year in Yerushalayim. His mother’s name was ‘Atalyahu the daughter of `Omri.”
2 Chronicles 22:2 CJB

Atalyahu, is the daughter of Ahav and Jezebel and was as wicked as they were! The point here is that many leaders then and now are evil and wicked, we just need to be on guard and watching the times we are living in!

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who change darkness into light and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter!”
Isaiah 5:20 CJB

What’s this tell us? We need to be careful of what we put our hope in, we need to simply trust Adonai and not be deceived by the wickedness around us!

“For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.”
Psalm 36:9 CJB

Let’s look to Adonai for all our things and not to the world! Don’t be deceived by darkness, but instead let’s look to His glorious light!
Have a blessed day walking in His light!

Walk with God

“He lived after the example of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ach’av; because he had married Ach’av’s daughter; he did what was evil from Adonai’s perspective.”
2 Chronicles 21:6 CJB

God doesn’t bless mixed unions, we are either all in for God or for the world! We see here Y’horam (Jehoram) not only did what was wrong, he married the daughter of Ahab, probably one of the most evil kings of Israel and practiced his wicked ways! We need to choose God’s ways or the world!

“Eliyahu stepped forward before all the people and said, How long are you going to jump back and forth between two positions? If Adonai is God, follow Him; but if it’s Ba`al, follow him! The people answered him not a word.”
1 Kings 18:21 CJB

This is often where people are just faltering between following God or the world! What do we trust?

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we praise the name of Adonai our God.”
Psalm 20:7 CJB

What do you trust in? Is it the world’s resources or is it Adonai? Let’s choose Adonai today, He will never leave you or let you down!
Have a blessed day following Adonai!

Trust God

“Our God! Won’t You execute judgment against them? For we haven’t strength enough to defeat this huge horde coming against us, and we don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
2 Chronicles 20:12 CJB

Here we see Jehoshaphat admitting that the enemy is going to overwhelm him and the people, but instead of panicking, he completely submits and trusts that God will see them through!

“My help comes from Adonai, the maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip-your guardian is not asleep.”
Psalm 121:2-3 CJB

Yes all our help comes from Adonai! But do we submit and trust Him? Remember He comes through every time!

“Don’t put your trust in princes or in mortals, who cannot help.”
Psalm 146:3 CJB

Don’t put your trust in any human or even yourself, remember all things will return to dust! But God and His ways will last forever!
Have a blessed day putting all your hope in God!

Don’t return to the past

“Yeah the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him and said to King Y’hoshafat, Should you help the wicked and befriend those who hate Adonai? Because of this, Adonai’s anger is upon you.”
2 Chronicles 19:2 CJB

We need to be careful of uniting with the world, by going back to worldly stuff, that Yeshua saved us from!

“I call on Adonai, who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies.”
Psalm 18:4 CJB

God saved us from all the enemies of the world, namely our past lives of sin! So why return?

“[God] redeemed me from going into the pit, and and now my life sees light.”
Job 33:28 CJB

No matter what is going on in life, good or bad, we need to remember we are not going to hell because we’ve been redeemed, so don’t go back to old lifestyles or people!
Have a blessed day in Adonai!
