Yesterday we learned that the name Adonai is more than just a name. We learned that it indicates a relationship. This name for God is first used in Genesis 15:2 where Abram addresses God as "Lord God" (Adonai Jehovah). We learned that Adonai means lord and master.
As we continue our study of this name, read the following Scriptures and note what you learn. What are the benefits and/or responsibilities when God is our master? Who or what is He Adonai over? You may need to read a few verses before or after the listed reference in order to understand the context.
- Psalm 141:8-10
- Psalm 119:125
- Judges 6:14-16
- Deuteronomy 9:26
- 1 Kings 2:26
- Psalm 2:4
- Psalm 97:5
- Psalm 136:3
As you think about what you learn from these verses, here are some further questions to ponder today. Can you call Him "Adonai" (Lord) and yet refuse to do the things He tells you to do? Is He really Adonai to you if you are disobedient to what He says? What is the relationship between a master and a servant? Does the servant get to "call the shots"? And here's another question.....what is the relationship between salvation and lordship? We're doing some deep thinking today, aren't we? Think about that today and we'll continue tomorrow.
