Adonai is translated Lord in the Bible. It signifies ownership or mastership and indicates the truth that God is the owner of each member of the human family, and that He consequently claims the unrestricted obedience of all.
Meaning:
Lordship meant complete possession on one hand and complete submission on the other. God is never an unjust master and therefore does not ask what cannot be performed, and never requires a task for which He does not equip His servants. In other words, everything God asks us to do is good and just and can be accomplished as we trust Him to enable us to do all that He has asked us to do.
Wow after reading that it made me realize that God really does have our backs. He never said it would always be easy, but no matter what, He has equipped us to perform the task He has laid before us. Only if we trust Him……Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and he shall direst your paths.
Rom 12:1-2
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Our "reasonable service" is a complete surrender to the will of God our Adonai. God will never ask us to do anything we can not accomplish. Because He is a kind and loving master; he equips us with all we need to succeed in the tasks He requires of us.
As I deal with the issues of my 3 boys, it seems harder to give it to God. I feel so out of control and helpless. Deep down I know God is in control and is handling things and all he wants from me is my obedience and trust. That is easier said than done. I frequently quote and question the verse that says God will not give you more than you can handle. (Smile)
What in your life do you need to stop trying to control and just give it to the one who knows how to handle it? God is our Adonai. He loves us and is going to take care of us all we need to do is to submit to Him. He will take care of the rest.
Will you trust Him with whatever you’re struggling with today? I pray you will. It is then that you will find true freedom in Christ.
Have a Great Week!
