Judges 3:1-5:31

What God said to me – “I AM” your deliverer.  “I AM” the one who gives you peace.  Walk with Me.  Love Me.  Serve Me.  Worship Me.  Life is not easy.  You are going to encounter trials and tribulations.  Never forget that “I AM” always with you and “I AM” accomplishing My purposes in you with everything you encounter, good or bad, happy or sorrowful.  Cry out to Me in your distress for “I AM” your comforter.  I will comfort you and I will walk with you every step of the way until you reach the other side.  Then, when you are able to receive it, I will help you to look back to see how far you’ve come and all I have accomplished in you as a result of the journey I took you on.

Judges 1:1-2:23

What God said to me – “I AM” always watching.  “I AM” always with you.  Stay close to Me.  Listen to Me.  Respond in obedience when I speak.  Moving away from Me happens one step at a time.  When I speak to you . . . when I warn you . . . when I chastise you – listen to Me.  Turn quickly back to Me or you will find yourself quickly falling away.  Before you realize what has happened, you will be going your own way . . . no longer seeking Me . . . no longer serving Me but serving your own desires.  Don’t let that happen.   Stay close to Me.  Grasp on to every word I say.  “I AM” here and I will not leave you.  In your weakness, cling to Me and I will make you strong.
