Exodus 40, Psalms 9, Luke 7: 20-50

What God said to me – The world today speaks a lot about diversity and equity and inclusion, but they have no idea what it actually means.  My kingdom is diverse.  I have chosen people from every nation, every tribe, every tongue to be My people.  “I AM” coming and I will execute judgment with equity.  I will judge the world in righteousness.  The standard is the same for everyone. I in My mercy and grace offered My righteousness as a gift to all knowing that no person could stand in judgment because of their lack of righteousness.  Those who accepted My gift will be able to stand because they are covered by the gift of My righteousness, but those who refused will not.  The standard is the same for everyone.  I have not excluded anyone but have offered My gift of salvation to all – to whosoever will believe.  The nations are sinking in the pit of sin they have created but a day is coming when I will make Myself known to them all as I come in judgment.  Look up My child – your redemption draws nigh.

Exodus 38-39, Psalms 8, Luke 7:1-35

What God said to me – When I came the first time My children, Israel, for the most part did not recognize or acknowledge Me.  The most “active” religious people and the most knowledgeable, the Pharisees and the experts in My law rejected Me.  They not only rejected Me they rejected My purpose for them.  Their responsibility was to live to bring honor to Me and to point others to Me so they might come to know Me also and be saved.  As a result I turned to the church, to those who had accepted Me and acknowledged Me and I gave them the responsibility to bring honor to Me and to point others to Me so they might come to know Me and be saved.  Many in the church today are becoming like the Pharisees were then.  They no longer bring honor to My name or point others to Me.  What about you?  Are you like those whom I rejected or are you living in such a way as to bring honor to My name and to point others to Me so they might come to know Me and be saved?

Exodus 36-37, Psalms 7, Luke 6:27-49

What God said to me – The Tent of Meeting and later the Temple were the center of the life of My people, the Jews.  It was where I met them, and it was where they came to worship Me and give their offerings and make their sacrifices.  This place was of utmost importance in their spiritual lives.  Yet the ones who made these places were craftsmen, just simple people who used their talents and abilities to serve Me and in doing so changed the world by their obedience.  I didn’t call great and powerful people for the task and then supernaturally gift them to do it.  I called common people who used their natural talents and abilities in obedience to their call.  In the same way I use your natural talents and abilities to serve Me and accomplish My plans.  The question is – are you available and willing to serve?  Don’t worry that you’re not a great leader or speaker or outgoing or charismatic.  I want to use you where you are and who you are to accomplish My plan.  Are you willing to serve?
