Isaiah 62:6-65:25, Philippians 2:19-3:3, Psalms 73:1-28, Proverbs 24:13-14
What God said to me – If you are not careful you will find yourself slipping into temporal thinking and when you do it is easy to stumble in your walk with Me because you are taking your eyes off of Me and putting them on the things of the world. The psalmist found himself close to stumbling when he began to look around himself and see evil people prospering and succeeding while he was struggling and he was envious of their lifestyles and successes and seemingly problem free life. When he took his eyes off of Me, he was blinded to the truth. It was not until he came to Me in worship that he began to correct his thinking and to see things from an eternal perspective. It wasn’t until he quit looking at their present circumstances and looked at their end and looked at his present circumstances and what awaited him in glory with Me, that he was able to get his thinking straight. Come into My presence and stay close so you don’t drift. My nearness is for your good – “I AM” the strength of your heart and your portion forever – take refuge in Me.
