Job 16-18, Isaiah 1

What God said to me – Following Me outwardly means nothing to Me.  You can go through the motions and have all the world believing you are godly and devoted to Me, but it will be for nothing.  To please Me you must turn to Me earnestly and wash yourself with the water of the word and truly repent.  You must cease falling into the sin that so easily besets you.  The only way for you to do that is to stay in My word and stay close to Me.  You must do good, not just refrain from evil.  Walking with Me day by day means more than staying pure.  It means walking in obedience and ministering as I direct.

Job 13-15, Psalms 122

What God said to me – Are you willing to trust Me and endure whatever comes into your life?  Can you say like Job, “Though He slay me, I will hope in Him?”  The only way to be able to live a life of such faith is to walk with Me step by step.  You must know Me intimately to be able to trust Me completely.  You must learn to accept all of the frustrations and daily irritations as from My hand.  You must look to Me for the reason and not give into anger and despair.  It’s only when you can take the little things in stride that you’ll be able to handle the more difficult things in life.

Job 10-12, Psalms 121

What God said to me – “I AM” your keeper.  No one can take you out of My hand – not even you yourself.  You can choose to disobey or not walk with Me for a time, but only for a time – “I AM” your keeper.  You are Mine, now and always.  In your struggles, look to Me.  Turn your eyes upon Me for “I AM” your helper.  “I AM” always here day and night.  It is always a good time to repent and cry out to Me.  Turn to Me.  Return to My word.  Let Me wash you clean.  Let Me restore our relationship.  Quit struggling.  Quit running.  Lift up your eyes – “I AM” here.
