Job 11-13

What God said to me – Your hope should always be in Me – not in your family – not in your job – not in your finances – not in your health – not in your abilities – in Me!  “I AM” the one who loves you more than you can think or imagine.  “I AM” the one who has a plan for your life that is for your good and My glory.  I will accomplish My purposes in and through you when you walk with Me.  That is why whatever you are facing you must stay close to Me – always seeking My direction.  Don’t look to the circumstances for then you will lose hope.  Your hope is to be in Me and not in the circumstances.  I will work My good will and pleasure in your life using whatever means are necessary.  Don’t look at others lives – look at Me.  My plan for you is customized for you alone.  I will not remove My hand from you – “I AM” always with you.

Job 8-10

What God said to me – I don’t work the way men think or expect.  My ways are not your ways.  “I AM” omniscient – I know all and I always act in your best interests.  I have a plan for your life that “I AM” carrying out.  You must cling to this promise even when you don’t see or understand.  Don’t listen to what others say or diagnose as your problem or how to fix it.  Turn to Me and My word.  When I don’t say something or show you something you must learn to trust and carry on doing the things I’ve already shown you.  Stay in My word.  Pray without ceasing.  Walk in faith knowing that “I AM” in control.  At some point I may open your heart and mind to see what “I AM” doing, but if I don’t you must keep on walking in faith knowing that all I do or allow is for your good and My glory.

Job 5-7

What God said to me – Do not think that because you are Mine that you will be exempt from trials and pain.  When I was walking in this world, I suffered tribulation and so will you.  Don’t forget what I said – in the world you will have tribulation, but I have overcome the world so take courage.  It is always good to examine yourself to check your motives and repent of sin.  I sometimes send trials to discipline you and bring you back to Me, but if you examine yourself and find no sin, then trust that the trials are for some other purpose.  Turn to Me and ask Me what “I AM” doing in your life and how you should respond.  Sometimes “I AM” building your faith and transforming your character.  Sometimes “I AM” using your testimony of faith and endurance to draw others.  I have a plan that “I AM” working out in your life.  Trust Me to carry it out.
