Deuteronomy 1-4, Psalms 40

What God said to me – Life is fleeting . . . it passes by in just a moment.  Never forget your days are numbered, not just yours, but the world’s.  Time is counting down so don’t waste it.  Focus on the eternal.  Live for what is lasting, for what is important.  Look to Me in all things for I will show you where your focus needs to be.  Don’t hide the truths I’ve taught you, share them.  Sprinkle My word throughout your conversation.  Speak of your salvation.  Speak of My faithfulness.  Don’t conceal My love but share it.  I direct those to you who need to hear the things I’ve taught you, the things I’ve brought you through.  Walk with Me out loud – others will hear and be encouraged.

Galatians 4-6, Psalms 39

What God said to me – When you grow weary of doing good or resent your lot in life it is because you have taken your eyes off of Me and put them on your circumstances.  When you find yourself comparing your life to others or wishing things were different or daydreaming about another life – stop and turn to Me.  “I AM” here to listen and to encourage you.  You have come so far, don’t stop now.  You must stand firm, or you will fall back into the bondage you were formerly in before you truly began to walk with Me.  Return to Me and you will find Me waiting to resume our walk together and to grow the fruit of My Spirit within you.  You are so close – don’t give up now.

Galatians 1-3, Psalms 38

What God said to me – I called you and set you aside as Mine.  Although I’ve given you the promise of My Spirit it’s not easy to remain steadfast apart from walking with Me daily – not even just daily, but moment by moment.  Unless you know My word and have a strong relationship with Me so you can stand firm when faced with challenges, it is easy to waiver and compromise.  “I AM” the one who enables you to stand so you must spend much time with Me, so you remain strong.  To go through even one day without seeking Me and spending time with Me is simply foolishness.  “I AM” your strength.  “I AM” your guide.  “I AM” what you need.
