1 Kings 16-19, Psalms 82

What God said to me – My word came to Elijah over and over again – when he was in need, when he was tired, when he was frightened, when he needed assurance, when he needed direction.  Elijah heard because he was seeking Me and listening for Me.  Learn from Elijah for it is the same for you and anyone who earnestly seeks Me.  I speak, but you must be listening and seeking in order to hear.  I know you desire a loud voice or a miraculous circumstance, but that is not how I generally speak.  Most often it is in a whisper through My word or in your spirit so you must stay in tune with Me constantly, so you don’t miss what I have to say.

1 Kings 13-15, Psalms 81

What God said to me – Evil is all about and wickedness is blatant.  Things that used to be hidden are now out in the open.  I cannot long hold back.  Judgment must come so righteousness is restored.  Even My people do not listen to Me or long after Me.  You must constantly guard your heart and mind.  Don’t succumb to the temptation to be a part of the group.  It is better to stand apart with Me than to compromise in order to be accepted.

1 Kings 10-12, Psalms 80

What God said to me – Do you see what a disaster it is when people go their own way instead of following Me?  Look at Jeroboam and learn from his rebellion – for that is what it was.  I promised to establish his kingdom if he would just trust Me and follow Me, but he looked at the circumstances and could not see how it could be done. So, he devised his own plan which was contrary to My plan – it was a way which seemed right to him but was far from what I told him.  It was lack of trust in My ability to do what I said that caused him to try to manipulate the circumstances to “help”. Trust is essential in walking with Me.  Trust Me to work on your behalf.
