Zechariah 1-2, Isaiah 59, Revelation 13
What God said to me – Humanity for the most part is limited in their perspective and the ability to see beyond time and space. It’s difficult to see beyond the temporal into the eternal ramifications. People tend to focus on My love out of their need to be loved and accepted so they project their own desires into My love and extrapolate it to mean I love them the way they are so they can live any way they want. The reality is that My love for My children will not allow them to continue to live in sin but transforms them so they can walk in holiness. People think My goodness means that nothing they consider “bad” comes from My hand and yet I use “bad” things every day to bring about good for My children. I allowed My own Son to die because “I AM” good. Don’t let your understanding of Me be limited to one characteristic because your view becomes temporal rather than eternal. When something happens to you or in the world that you deem unloving or bad, you lose faith because your restricted viewpoint can’t see the overall picture. Look at everything in the light of My overall character and sovereignty so you can hold on to the truth that “I AM” working for your good and My glory in all that happens. This is the perseverance and faith of the saints.
