The name Adonai, when applied to God the Father, implies the kind of relationship that could take place between a good master and a willing servant or slave. Psalm 16:2 (ESV) reads:
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord (Adonai); I have no good apart from you.”
Adonai, You are not just a good master, You are the Best Master. I am Your bondservant – I willingly serve You. Throughout Your Word You have given examples of how my relationship with You should be; one of the best of those examples involves the loving care and tender protection You give to me when I recognize and confess You as my Master. I no longer belong to myself ~ I belong to You. Help me to remember from moment to moment to Whom I belong. Give me the words, the love and the longing in my heart to help others who need to know You as their Master as well as their Savior. In Jesus’ name, amen.
