walking in the same way as He walked!
adonai- the story of king uzziah
You and I cannot come to Adonai holding onto other lords and masters, whether that is your calendar or something else, Adonai demands (and deserves) complete Lordship. The good news about ceding ownership of our lives to Adonai is that He, like any good owner is responsible for what He owns. It becomes freeing to understand that everything we have is on loan from Adonai. God can be the only real “Master of our fate” and “Captain of our soul.” And we have to remember that His name is Adonai.
adonai— the story of moses
Moses felt that he was inadequate to complete the mission God had called him to. It seemed far too big for him. Yet, Moses recognized that God was Adonai, owner of all things. Moses went on to lead God’s chosen people out of slavery in Egypt.
adonai- the story of abram
Our fear of ceding ownership to Adonai is often rooted in fear of the unknown future & a sense that we will not be in control of how that future will evolve.

Over the next three weeks, I want to unpack what it means to have God as the Adonai over your life, to let God be the Lord over your life. We’ll go over the lives of Abram, Moses, and Isaiah, and look at how they ceded ownership of their lives to Adonai.
a heart of gratitude
In every circumstance, we should be giving thanks. Give thanks in the good. Give thanks in the bad. Give thanks in the mundane. Give thanks in the frustration. Give thanks in the sad. Give thanks in every moment you get because it’s by God’s goodness that you are here.
it’s your choice
Because of the sacrifice God made and the obedience of Jesus Christ, we are treated as though we have entirely fulfilled the law of God and have never become exposed to its penalty. Speaking personally here, that is just not true. I’d love to say I’ve never sinned, but I’m human and so are you.
