Job 23-27, 2 Corinthians 1:12-2:11, Psalms 41:1-13, Proverbs 22:5-6
What God said to me – Have you ever spent a small fortune on Christmas gifts for the kids and after all the gifts were opened they ended up playing with the boxes? You spent so much time and money searching for and buying the “perfect” gifts and in the end, it seemed like such a waste. The things you thought were so important were soon forgotten or broken or discarded but the times playing and laughing and sharing you’ll remember forever. It’s the difference between focusing on the temporal or on the eternal in your daily life. One of the things about walking consistently with Me and seeking Me earnestly is that I direct you to things that have an eternal impact. I change the way you pray as you seek My will to be done in people’s lives. I change the way you spend money as you surrender all to Me and give as I direct. I make the things you do and the ministries you participate in have a lasting impact as you walk in obedience as I direct. Keep your eyes on Me and you will keep your focus on things that make an impact for eternity.
