Genesis 27-29, Psalms 10

What God said to me – When the foundations are being destroyed and all seems to be going wrong – look to Me.  “I AM” in My holy temple.  “I AM” on My throne in heaven.  I rule the universe and all that is in it.  Don’t ever forget that you are in My hand and “I AM” in control.  Seek My word for it is flawless.  Trust in My unfailing love.  Rejoice in Me and in your salvation, knowing that no matter what happens in the end you will stand.  There will come a day when you dwell with Me in My holy sanctuary – but never forget that even now I dwell in you for you are My sanctuary.  Be at peace for “I AM” with you.

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.
