Adonai: Lord, Master

Adonai is a short royal title. It denotes majesty, respect, and authority. Adonai points to God as the One who is in charge—the Boss. He is our Master.

Luke 6:46 But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord’ and not do the things which I say?

Jesus pointed out that too often, we say with our lips that God is our Lord, our Master, yet we disobey God. Our actions say that someone or something else is truly in control of our life.

Matt 6:24 No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one or love the other....you cannot serve God and mammon.

Adonai speaks about the relationship between Master and slave.

Is Adonai really your Master? Do you find it difficult to lovingly obey Him? Who or what is in charge of your life?.

1 Cor 6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

We are no longer our own, but have been bought by the blood of Jesus. Now He alone must be our Lord and Master. We must allow Him to be our ultimate authority. There cannot be a more loving Master than Him. That’s why Paul calls himself a bond servant of Jesus Christ.(Rom 1:1)

A bondservant was one who voluntarily served, without wages, not temporarily but permanently. He refused to leave his master for another. Why? Because he loved his master and his house and knew he was blessed because of his master.

Will you, out of love, be a bondservant to Adonai?

♥Response: Lord, forgive me for allowing things, people and even my own desires to take charge of my life. I choose to be a bondservant to You. Because I can never find a more loving Master than You. In Jesus’ name.

Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. Luke 17:13

Lord, I love You and therefore I keep Your Word and I am loved by the Father. John 14:23

Let’s pray:

Ask the Lord to show you what you need to surrender or let go in order to serve Him whole-heartedly.

Ask God for grace to serve Him in the little He has given you to do. Tell Him to make you a functioning and contributing member in His house

Ask Him to reveal your gifts and calling so that you will be more effective in serving Him and His house.
