Amos 9, Isaiah 49:1-13, Revelation 2:1-11
What God said to me – You’ve heard coaches who say they plan for the long game and not the short one – you can make some points quickly and run out of steam and still lose the game if you are too shortsighted. The adage “it’s a marathon and not a sprint” has the same idea. My plan for your life and for the world is for the long game. I formed My Son in the womb to bring Israel back to Me knowing they would reject Him at first. But I also knew that because of their rejection, I would form My church, and you would be saved. In the end I will bring Israel back to Me and all of My children will be saved – Israel and My church. Look at this example as you go through your life. Don’t let short term defeats or even victories define your walk- look to the end and keep going. “I AM” coming for you so persevere to the end.
