2 Chronicles 4:1-6:11, Romans 7:1-13, Psalms 17:1-15, Proverbs 19 :22-23

What God said to me – You’ve heard the saying, “the best is yet to come”.  However, it is only true for those who are My children – for those who are not, their portion is this life – the best they experience in this life is the best there is for them.  They will die and leave what they have to their children.  The only time they will see Me is at the judgment when they bow their knee and acknowledge Me as God – as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  So, don’t be jealous or envious of their lives here because this is it for them and after this is judgment, but for you the best is truly coming.  As you walk through the trials and difficulties of this life with its ups and downs, keep your eyes on Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith knowing that not only am I with you, but that you will be with Me in the end when you will see Me face to face.

2 Chronicles 1-3, Romans 6, Psalms 16:1-11, Proverbs 19:20-21

What God said to me – David, a man after My own heart, longed to build a house for Me – a temple where Israel could worship Me and I could meet with them.  However, I didn’t allow David to build it, but I called his son, Solomon, to build it.  Solomon’s awestruck response was, “who am I that I should build a house for Him?”  Solomon wanted to build a great house for Me with the best and most precious materials because of My greatness.  Now, think about your life as My child.  I don’t dwell in great buildings, but I have chosen to live in the hearts of My children.  Your response, like Solomon’s, should be one of awestruck wonder that I should choose to dwell in you.  Your response, like Solomon’s, should be to build your heart into the most beautiful dwelling place for Me by constantly walking with Me in love and obedience and allowing Me to cleanse and sanctify you.  Never get over the awe and wonder that I chose you, I love you, and “I AM” with you every moment.

1 Chronicles 28-29, Romans 5:6-21, Psalms 15:1-15, Proverbs 19 :18-19

What God said to me – It is rare now days to get more than you pay for or expect – you used to get the baker’s dozen where you paid for twelve but got thirteen donuts or you went in for an oil change, and they cleaned your windshield and vacuumed your car.  However, I always have been and still am a God of much more.  I demonstrated My love for you in that while you were yet sinners, My Son, Christ, died for you.  Much more then, having been justified by His blood, you will be saved from My wrath to come through Him.  While you were my enemy I reconciled  you to Myself by His death and much more since you have been reconciled you shall be saved by His life.  Where sin abounded, much more did grace abound.  Where death reigned, much more My children who receive grace and righteousness will reign with My Son, Jesus Christ.  “I AM” able to do more abundantly than you can think or ask.  Worship and express your love and gratitude.  “I AM” the God of much more.
