Ezra 3:1-4:23, 1 Corinthians 2:6-3:4, Psalms 28:1-9, Proverbs 20:24-25
What God said to me – I have told you over and over again that “I AM” carrying out My plan for the world and for your life for your good and for My glory. I not only use My children and My word and godly things to do this, but I also use ungodly and rebellious people. I used rebellious and ungodly to bring about your very salvation. Think about this – ungodly, fleshly, rebellious people cannot understand My ways or My wisdom and even though it seems counterintuitive, this is a good thing for you – if they had understood that My Son, Jesus, became flesh and dwelt among them, they would not have crucified Him and had He not been crucified, you never could have been saved. Unregenerated men have no capability of understanding Me or My ways because they do not have My Spirit within them, so spiritual things are foolishness to them. Remember this as you share, as you take a stand for what is right, and as you try to navigate an ungodly society. Bathe everything in prayer, trusting that I will work all things for your good and for My glory.
