2 Kings 19-20, Psalms 132, John 15
What God said to me – You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit. Never think that you are not an important part of My kingdom and My family – I chose you! I have a plan for you and “I AM” working it out. Don’t be surprised when you experience persecution and hatred – I experienced it and they hated Me without cause. When you are faced with trials and difficulty or persecution and hatred do as Hezekiah and come into My presence and lay them out before Me. Cry out to Me and I will hear you and give you peace. It’s not important that your circumstances change because they are only temporary – it’s important that your heart and mind change because your sanctification is eternal. Trust My sovereignty wherever you find yourself and you will have peace wherever you find yourself.
