What God said to me – You look at your life and think how much time you have wasted and how little you have accomplished on My behalf. What you fail to realize is that no one can accomplish anything “on My behalf”. It is I who work through you and not the other way around. You have no idea how I may or may not have used you to accomplish My purposes so don’t dwell on the past with regret. Live for today. Walk with Me today. This is the day that I have made – rejoice and be glad in this day. Walk with Me in this day. Purpose to obey Me fully this day.
What God said to me – I have chosen you – never forget that. You are Mine, chosen to display My glory. That is the way I want you to live your life – seeking Me – walking with Me – allowing Me to shine through you. You are the mirror I chose to reflect My image to the world. That is why it is so important that you are patient and kind to everyone you encounter for when they see you, then they see Me. I know it’s not easy to be My child in the world today and to be steadfast and stand firm. That is exactly why you must stay so close to Me so I can help you in time of need. “I AM” always patient and always kind and through Me, you can be also.
What God said to me – Everyone at some time in their lives will experience bad and difficult things. I have told My children that I work all things together for good – do you believe it or are you so focused on the difficulties that you miss the blessing of trusting My sovereignty. Look at Naomi – she didn’t have an easy life – she went to Moab because of a famine and then her husband and sons died. She returned home bitter and destitute. Because she was so focused on her circumstances, she didn’t see how I used the famine to move her so her son could marry Ruth, who became one of the greatest blessings of her life. Had she not lost her husband and returned destitute, she would not have needed her kinsman redeemer, Boaz, who redeemed her and saved her and became a picture for all My children of My Son, their Kinsman Redeemer who redeemed them ad saved them. Remember this as you go through various trials and difficulties. Even when you don’t see it or feel it or understand it, give praise and thank Me for how “I AM” using your present circumstances for your good and My glory and you will experience the peace and blessing that comes from trusting My sovereignty.
