Genesis 24-26, Psalms 9

What God said to me – Because the journey is long, it is important that you stay right beside Me each step of the way.  I will lead you on the journey and will show you the right road, but you must walk with Me.  Through the ongoing conversation of your life with Me I will direct you one step at a time.  Although you won’t be able to see the end from the beginning, I can – trust Me – walk with Me.  The journey is just as important as the destination for it is in the journey that you learn to walk with Me each step of the way.  Eleazer’s journey was long and I didn’t reveal how it would turn out until the end.  He had to walk with Me by faith.  It is the same for you – just keep walking and trusting – when you get there, I’ll show you My plan – never too early – never too late – perfect for you.

Genesis 21-23, Psalms 8

What God said to me – “And the Lord did for Sarah as He had promised.”  What a simple statement for such a profound and miraculous event.  I always do what I say I will do.  “I AM” Almighty God and I can do anything.  I have no need for great fanfare when I fulfill My promises, even if it seems miraculous to you.  I spoke all of creation into existence without any effort.  As you observe all I have created and see My splendor displayed above the heavens, stand in awe.  When you consider My heavens and the work of My hand, the moon and the stars I have ordained, your natural response is to feel small and insignificant.  However learn to turn from feelings of smallness and insignificance to awe and worship as you see My power and glory – it is what you were created to do.

Genesis 18-20, Psalms 7

What God said to me – There is an old children’s Sunday School song that says, “be careful little eyes what you see, be careful little ears what you hear”.  However in those simple verses sung by children there is deep theology that all My children need to heed.  In many ways it is easy for you to live a life where you avoid overt sin – outward things that you know are wrong to do and so you are careful not to do them.  However it is the sin committed in the mind and heart that are the difficult things for you to confront and deal with.  “I AM” a righteous God and I try the heart and the mind – not just your outward actions.  When I sent the flood in Noah’s day it was because the wickedness of man was so great that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.  If you want to please Me you must do it with all your heart and soul and mind and strength.  Guard your heart and mind by being careful what you watch and read and listen to.  Honor Me in not just all you do, but in all you think.  Be careful little eyes what you see – be careful little ears what you hear.
