Genesis 16-18

What God said to me – My plan for you is perfect.  Allow Me to carry it out without interference or manipulation.  Just because you can’t see or understand how it could happen doesn’t mean I need “help”.  You must learn to wait and trust My perfect timing.  Look at all the problems caused by Sarah and Abraham’s interference.  Their lack of faith affected their children for generations.  My plan was still accomplished because nothing anyone can do can thwart My plan.  But they made things more difficult for themselves.  My way and My timing are always best.  Wait for Me.  Trust Me to work.

Genesis 12-15

What God said to me – “I AM’ the one who empowers nations and causes them to rise and who judges them and causes them to fall.  Men think they are in control, but they are not.  I have laid out My plans and no man can change them.  Know this for certain – the world stage is not being set or manipulated by men.  “I AM’ carrying out My plan to accomplish My purpose.  Do not fear or be dismayed by world news.  Do not feel like things are hopeless for “I AM” at work bringing My plan to fruition.  Hundreds of years may pass or a day – it is the same to Me.  I see the end from the beginning.  Look to Me and My promises for what is in store for My children.

Genesis 8-11

What God said to me – I know when you are in the midst of trials you feel like you are alone and I don’t remember you.  When you feel like this, look at Noah – not only was I the one to put him in the midst of the flood, “I AM” the one who brought him out of it in My perfect timing.  I carried out My plan for his life and for the world.  Noah’s response was worship – he built an altar and worshipped Me.  Make that your response even before the trial is over.  Worship Me.  It will help you to get through the trial triumphantly.  It will deepen your relationship with Me as you turn to Me.  “I AM” an ever present help in time of trouble.  I will comfort and strengthen you.
