1 Chronicles 7-8, Acts 27:1-20, Psalms 7:1-17, Proverbs 18:22
What God said to me – Remember the old road runner cartoons where the coyote sets up a trap for the road runner but ends up falling in it himself. The same thing can happen in real life to people who disregard My law or My leading – they end up falling into a trap of their own making. When I told you that in this world you would have tribulation, but to take courage because I have overcome the world, I wasn’t talking about suffering difficulties because of the consequences of your own sin – I was talking about when you suffer persecution or trials because you are walking with Me. So, when you are experiencing difficulties or walking through trials, first examine yourself to make sure you are not experiencing the consequences of your own sin because your response and the actions you take are different – if it is because of your own sin, you need to start with acknowledgment and repentance – if it is because of genuine persecution or trials you need to cry out to Me for comfort and strength and direction. I always hear and “I AM” with you always, working things for your good and for My glory.
