Philippians 1-4, Proverbs 29:15-23

What God said to me – Forget what lies behind and reach forward to what lies ahead.  Don’t dwell on the failures of your past.  I have forgiven and you must too.  Walking with Me means moving forward, not backward.  Start fresh each day – sometimes, each moment.  Don’t let momentary lapses cause you to flounder and stop.  Time spent in self-pity or self-flagellation is wasted time.  Repent and move on.  This walk with Me is a journey that will never end here on earth, so keep walking.  Press toward the goal always remembering, the goal is not here, but in heaven.  Press on toward the goal always remembering that I take pleasure in the journey – walking with you and teaching you.

1 Samuel 29-31, Proverbs 29:1-14

What God said to me – Look to the example of David.  When you are tired or distressed, come to Me for comfort and rest.  This should always be your response, no matter what your situation or need.  Come to Me.  Seek out what I would have you to do.  The strength you need is found in Me.  The rest you need is found in Me.  The direction you need is found in Me.  You must continue to come to Me no matter what those around you are saying or doing.  Don’t let their anger or fear or despair deter you.  Don’t react or respond.  Turn to Me.  “I AM” all you need.  Trust Me for all you need for “I AM”.

1 Samuel 26-28, Proverbs 28:15-28

What God said to me – My ways are unsearchable.  No matter how close you are to Me or follow after Me, you will never be able to fully understand Me or My ways.  What you can do is trust Me – trust that “I AM” always good – trust that “I AM” always faithful – trust that I always only do what is right.  When you don’t understand, you must trust.  When you think what I do is contradictory, you must trust.  You must walk with me closely, always listening, always learning.  At those times when you see in a mirror darkly, trust that one day it will be clear.  Walk in faith and trust Me.  I will never violate who “I AM”.
