Genesis 1-2, Matthew 1-2:13, Psalms 1, Proverbs 1:1-6
What God said to me – Believe it or not, not everyone is eager to know Me. People instinctively know that I will change them – that to turn their lives over to Me will cause dramatic changes in everything from their foundational beliefs to the direction of their life. When Joseph encountered Me, he immediately obeyed and did all that I commanded him to do. Everything in his life changed from that moment forward. Herod on the other hand chose to cling to his present life and to preserve his earthly kingdom rather living for an eternal one and in the end, he lost both. Temporal versus eternal – obedience versus disobedience – there are consequences in the choices you make and the actions you take so keep your eyes set on Me and your mind set on things above to keep your focus steady and your path straight. Don’t neglect this time – you can’t do it alone. You need Me more than you realize so cling to Me and stay in My word.
