2 Samuel 1:1-5:25

What God said to me – “I AM” with you.  No matter what else is going on in your life – that is the ultimate blessing – “I AM” with you.  That is what you need to know . . . that is what you need to cling to.  People think that My blessing on them is that things are going well . . . they are prosperous . . . life is easy . . . they are without conflict.  True blessing, however, is that “I AM” with you in whatever circumstance you find yourself and I will not leave you.  “I AM” always there to guide, to encourage, to teach.  You are truly blessed because “I AM” always with you.

1 Samuel 26:1-31:13

What God Said to me – Find your strength in Me.  “I AM” the source for all you need.  Turn to Me for everything.  “I AM” your God.  “I AM” your provider.  “I AM” your Father in heaven.  I have a plan for you which covers every detail.  Don’t be dismayed over the things that happened . . . know that “I AM” in control and I will give you direction.  Your job is to turn to Me.  Don’t act or react without My direction.  Trust Me.  Walk with Me.  I will not disappoint you.

1 Samuel 21:1-25:44

What God said to me – Stay still until you learn what I will do for you.  Don’t try to fix things yourself or manipulate people or circumstances to come out the way you want them to.  Stop. Talk to Me.  Listen to Me.  Seek My direction.  Let Me take action on your behalf.  I have a plan that “I AM” carrying out.  Don’t interfere.  You must learn to listen to Me and cooperate with Me.  When I Say stop, you must stop.  When I say proceed, you must do exactly as I direct.  When I say to be silent, don’t utter a word.  Learn this lesson and you will see first hand how I accomplish My purpose in your life and those around you.
