Job 21-23

What God said to me – The world is in chaos.  Sin and evil are growing in society until righteousness and good seem to be smothered out.  The world denies Me until something as horrific happens and then they cry out “where is God – why did He let this happen?”  They treat Me like a genie in a bottle who is to appear only when they summon him.  Many of My own children are this way also.  They go along living their lives without engaging with Me and then cry out to Me when things go wrong.  I have called you to be different – to have a moment by moment walk with Me – to seek Me in all things – to share with Me all things.  There will be times in your life that you can’t sense My presence but know that I would never abandon you.  “I AM” always here.  Hold fast to My path.  Keep My ways and do not turn aside.  Stay in My word and be faithful no matter what.  In due time you will see the reward of your faithfulness.

Job 17-20

What God said to me – I know you are overwhelmed with sadness – not just because of things happening in your life, but as you look around and see evil so pervasive in the world and people hurting all around you.  There are no easy answers.  Sin has taken hold and is running its course and no one is exempt from its fallout.  Unless the world turns to Me in masse, there is no stopping it.  The whole earth is groaning with the weight of society’s rejection of Me and they have no concept or understanding of what this means.  Judgment is coming and My patience and forbearance are reaching an end.  You must stay close to Me and not waver.  Know that you Redeemer lives and you will at last see Me in all My glory.  Live in such a way that you will not be ashamed at My coming.

Job 14-16

What God said to me – Just because you are Mine does not mean you are exempt from trials.  Everyone will experience hurt and heartache at some point in their life – some they bring on themselves because of an ungodly or unhealthy lifestyle and some because sin is in the world and it still hurts and destroys, even those who are innocent.  The question is how do you respond when you encounter such difficulties?  If it is because of you own sin, you must repent and seek Me.  If it is because of sin in the world causing sickness and death and heartache, then run to Me.  Seek My face.  Pour out your heart.  Ask Me how you should pray and what you should do.  “I AM” your advocate on high.  “I AM” the one who can comfort you and tell you how you should pray and what you should do.  Run to Me, your Abba Father.  “I AM” always here for you.
