April 13: My Adonai

My Adonai

Sharon Campbell-Danvers 
Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church


Adonai is the Lord of all who reigns forever and reveals Himself through covenant in Scripture such as Genesis 15:2, Judges 6:15, Malachi 1:6, and Psalm 97:5.

What a blessed comfort it is to know that God is my Adonai.

I do not have to worry about constancy or consistency because He is eternal. In Genesis 15:2, Abram cries out, “O Lord God, what will You give me…?” showing that even in uncertainty, he recognized God as sovereign and personal. So many times in life, we experience broken relationships and unfulfilled commitments. Plans change, and hope can feel lost in a moment. Yet I hold firmly to this truth that my God reigns forever.

His reign is not distant or passive. In Judges 6:15, Gideon says, “Alas, O Lord God…” in a moment of fear and inadequacy, yet God was present, calling and strengthening him. This reminds me that God is not merely seated on a throne watching from afar. He is not just a supervisor. He is my Protector, my Sustainer, and my ever-present Helper. He is actively working in every stage and moment of my life.

So when fear rises and when I feel dismay, I will not be afraid, for He is my Adonai. Malachi 1:6 reminds us that the Lord is not distant but relational, a Father who deserves honor and reverence. Today, I claim Him again in my life.

I do not have to compare my blessings with others or wonder about my portion. He is mine, and I am His. He will take care of me, and that assurance fills me with hope. Psalm 97:5 declares that even the mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, a powerful reminder that nothing is too great for my Adonai.

Whenever I am bombarded with fear and despair, I have an anchor in my Adonai.

Today, I lift up my heart once more. I ask for forgiveness for the times when I fail to trust Him fully.

As we go throughout today, be not afraid. God is with you. He is our Adonai.

Prayer

My Adonai, Lord of all,
I thank You that You reign forever and that You are present in every moment of my life. Forgive me for the times I doubt, fear, or fail to trust You fully.

Help me to rest in Your sovereignty and to remember that I belong to You. When fear rises, remind me that You are my Protector, my Sustainer, and my ever-present Help.

Today, I choose to trust You again. Lead me, keep me, and fill my heart with peace and hope.

In Your holy name, Amen.

March 16 Anxious but Anchored

Carol Nyack Shepherdess Cayman Islands Conference of SDA Theme: Trusting God when anxiety creeps in . It was a cool February evening, and I was reaching the end of my rope in more ways than one. I was partially laid up with a broken ankle, having just shattered my beautiful flowerpot. At the same time, vacuuming, and then, minutes later, discovered that my unlocked car had been ransacked during the night. I glanced at my husband resting on the sofa. He remained unbothered by my recounting of events. I then contacted our older son. While on the phone, my husband calmly said, "Ask him to come take me to the hospital." There was no complaint of pain, no urgency in his voice—just a quiet request. At this point, I knew prayer was more important than questioning.  Our son arrived, and just as my husband turned to kiss me and leave, I grabbed him to pray. On the way to the hospital, things took a drastic do...

January 11: Help! I Am A Worrier.

Help! I Am A Worrier. Author : Sharon Campbell-Danvers, Shepherdess, Educator Theme : Contentment in Christ. Finding peace and joy in God regardless of circumstances Peace of mind is a valuable commodity that cannot have a price tag placed on it. If worrying was a product, I would be rich.  Peace of mind is precious and closely aligned with our mental health and well-being. Truth be told, so many things seek to distract us from what is truly important and what gives us true peace. This is a struggle for me. I need a piece of peace! A big slice. Whopper version, supersized. Women are confronted with many issues that impact their peace of mind. The woman with the issue of blood was in a deep place for twelve years (Mark 5:25-34). Mary and Martha watched their brother die and wept (John 11:1-44). The woman at the well was searching for deeper meaning in her life without even knowing it until she came in contact with Jesus (John 4:1-26). Hannah was troubled at home and could find no ...

June 15: The Coat of Many Blessings

The Coat of Many Blessing's Theme: God’s Favor on my “Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.” Genesis 37:3 (KJV) Jolen Whyte King’s Seventh-Day Adventist  There’s a garment woven not by human hands but by the sovereign grace of God. A vibrant coat that marks you as His chosen, beloved child. When doubt whispers that you don’t belong, remember: this coat is not earned by perfection or pedigree. It’s His gift, threaded with mercy and purpose, meant to cover every wound and illuminate every step. As you turn each page of your life, you will discover those threads of grace transforming even the darkest chapters into a tapestry of hope. I know what it’s like to have nothing to my name, dropping out of high school at fifteen, facing teenage motherhood, and hearing every voice around me say my story was over before it began. Yet in the midst of that wilderness, God quietly began to stitch His favor ...
