Esther 8-10, Psalms 119:113-128

What God said to me – My word is the heart of My revelation of Myself.  It is I who gives understanding of My word to those who seek Me.  Reading it regularly is not enough for it is easy for that to become the fulfillment of a duty rather than actually hearing from Me.  You must seek Me through study and diligence.  You must cry out to Me for wisdom and understanding.  You must earnestly desire to know Me and what I have to say.  This is so much more than reading or even memorizing My word.  It is a relationship.  It is conversation.  It is devotion.  You cannot fully know Me apart from My word.

Esther 4-7, Psalms 119:97-112

What God said to me – “I AM” not dependent on anyone to carry out My plan.  I can accomplish My purposes through those who are willing as well as those who are not.  You must decide if you are a willing participant in My plan or an unwilling one.  The end will be the same, but the process will be different.  When you choose to walk with Me, seeking My will and direction and cooperate with Me in all I wish to do through you, you will have joy and peace and a relationship with Me that you never imagined.  I, Myself will teach you and guide you.  You don’t need to fear that you might lose your way for My word will be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path.

Esther 1-3, Psalms 119:81-96

What God said to me – I know your soul languishes for the fulfillment of your salvation when I come again.  I know you are waiting and watching for my word to be fulfilled.  You must hold on and remain diligent and faithful.  The time is drawing near when you will see My judgment and My kingdom established.  Keep your eye on that day.  Keep your hope on that day.  What I have said, I will do.  The whole world senses that something is about to happen – that things cannot continue as they are.  Although you are sorrowing for a nation and a world that has rejected Me, you must learn to find joy in the anticipation of My kingdom which is to come.
