Joshua 14-15, Psalms 73, Acts 23:19-35

What God said to me – As you look around at the world and you see the wicked prospering and so many of My people struggling and suffering it is easy to lose focus of those things that are truly important and to desire what they have.  Many people who are truly evil seem to have so much wealth and many people who give me no thought seem to prosper while My people face many difficulties and trials.  It seems so unfair but that is because you are looking at the world through temporal eyes and not eternal.  It is easy to become bitter or angry about your circumstances.  But when you purposefully seek Me and worship Me in Spirit and in Truth, I help you to see the world through eternal eyes rather than temporal ones.  You begin to understand that My promise to you of an abundant life was not necessarily for wealth and prosperity but for joy and peace and My Presence as you encounter various trials and difficulties.  You begin to see that while their lives now may seem easy, they will ultimately come to destruction for their rejection of Me, but you will experience eternal joy and peace in My Presence.
