1 Chronicles 13-14, Proverbs 18:13-24, 1 Thessalonians 3
What God said to me – Have you ever had an event or a tournament that you wanted to do but it required that you get in shape and prepare so you could really enjoy it and do your best? Whether it’s a race or a hike or a tournament of some kind or even just a trip where you know a lot of walking is required, you practice and prepare – you walk or run or lift weights or practice the sport over and over so that you can enjoy the time and present your very best. What about spiritually? What are you doing and how are you living daily so you can present your very best to Me at My coming? Spiritual strength and spiritual growth do not just happen. Just like running a race or playing in a tournament, it requires time, effort and practice if you want to do well. This time with Me and in My word is essential and you must take the time to put into practice the things I teach you. You must use your gifts in ministry as I call you. I will strengthen you and establish your heart so that you are without blame in holiness before Me at My coming.
