Matthew 17-19, Psalms 65

What God said to me – This is My Son – listen to Him.  In all these years, that command has not changed.  Listen to Him!  That is the way you will please Me most – listen to Him.  The problem with most people – even My children – is their attention is on everything but My Son.  There is so much going on around you – so much noise in the world that either you ignore Him, you don’t hear Him or you don’t recognize His voice in the crowd.  You must take the time to come away from it all so you can hear Him – so you can learn His voice so you will recognize it in the midst of the din of the world.  He will guide you if you only listen.  Come away often and spend time with Him.  Learn to listen.  Practice listening for you will hear from Me. 

Matthew 14-16, Psalms 64

What God said to me – The secret to success is to give to Me what little you have – surrender all to Me – and let Me make much of it for My kingdom.  The world has been deluded into thinking that success is wealth and acclaim.  But I tell you that true success is to be used by Me to further the kingdom – My kingdom.  This is the only success that will last.  This is the only success that will bring fulfillment.  To be willingly used by Me for My purposes is the greatest calling anyone can have.  I use many people in the world to accomplish My purpose, but most are unwillingly and unknowing pawns.  For you to submit yourself to Me to be used is what I long for.

Matthew 11-13, Psalms 63

What God said to me – How much do you want Me?  Do you yearn for Me within your soul?  Is your desire for Me so palpable that it seems like a physical yearning to see Me – to hear from Me.  When you walk closely with Me that is what it is like.  You must be with Me.  You must be in My word.  You must hear from Me.  It seems your very life and existence depends on it.  Set your heart and mind to seek Me totally.  Think about Me.  Cry out to Me morning, noon, and night.  When your soul begins to cling to Me, you will see a dramatic change in your spiritual walk with Me.
