Esther 4-7, 1 Corinthians 12:1-26, Psalms 36:1-12, Proverbs 21:21-22
What God said to me – A good card player has what they call a “poker face”. You can’t tell what cards they have been dealt by looking at their face – it is the same whether it is a good hand or a bad hand. The same should be true of your walk with Me. As My child, I have given you peace and joy and promised that I will work all things for your good and for My glory so a stranger looking at you should see the same peace and joy and faith in you no matter what “cards” you have been dealt. When things are going well, stay close with your eyes on Me or pride could cause you to fall away. When things are going badly or tragedy strikes, stay even closer or fear or anger or lack of faith can drive you away when you need Me the most. Instead of crying out, “why is this happening to me”’cry out “what do You want to do in me.” Whether it is blessing or seeming tragedy, “I AM” always at work in your life and your response should always be the same – “I trust you Lord – glorify yourself in me”.
