1 Chronicles 19-21, Romans 2:25-3:8, Psalms 11:1-7, Proverbs 19:10-12

What God said to me – Often times a person with assets or wealth will set up a trust to hold them and assign a trustee to protect the assets and carry out their instructions regarding them.  In a similar way, I entrusted My word to the Jews and My instruction to them was for them to obey it and share it so others would come to know Me and worship Me.  For the most part, the Jews failed in their responsibility as My trustee because of their unbelief and disobedience. So, I turned to My church and entrusted My word to them to obey and to share it with others so they could come to know Me and worship Me.  My question to you is “how are you doing in your responsibility as trustee”?  Do you spend time to know and understand My word so you can obey it and share it?  My word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path.  The world is struggling in darkness and desperately needs light, so be a faithful steward and share the treasure I have entrusted to you.

1 Chronicles 16:37-18:17, Romans 2:1-24, Psalms 10:16-18, Proverbs 19 :8-9

What God said to me – Nothing makes a parent prouder than for their children to have great success and accomplishments that bring honor to the family name because they feel like it reflects on them.  Conversely, when children’s actions are notorious it also reflects on the family name, only negatively – think Adolf Hitler, Charles Ponzi, John Dillinger, Lee Harvey Oswald – no matter how wonderful the parents might have been, the view of society is negative because of the children’s actions.  In the book of Romans, Paul wrote how the Jews touted the fact they were My chosen people and how I had given them the Law, but they themselves didn’t follow the Law.  They boasted in the Law, but in their breaking of the Law, they dishonored Me and blasphemed My name among the Gentiles who were the very people they were supposed to reach.  Similarly, there are many who loudly tell the world they are Christians, but their lifestyle is ungodly and in doing so they blaspheme My name – their hypocrisy brings dishonor to Me and turns people away from seeking Me.  You must purposely live godly lives so that people will see your good works and glorify Me.  When you live this way and lift up My name, I will use you to draw people to Me.

1 Chronicles 15:1-16:36, Romans 1:18-32, Psalms 10:1-15, Proverbs 19 :6-7

What God said to me – “Professing to be wise, they became fools”. This statement pretty well sums up the world today.  Even at a time when science and the use of computers have exploded knowledge, people are becoming more and more foolish.  They have relegated those who follow Me to being old fashioned or uneducated or superstitious and pride themselves on having outgrown such primitive beliefs.  The one thing they are right about is when they say times have changed.  They have changed – more and more people are turning from Me and embracing ungodliness as normal and right.  More and more people are falling under the delusion of the enemy as they turn from honoring Me as God and choose to honor themselves.  While times have changed, the way to know Me has not.  The righteous shall live by faith so, as you live and walk through this ungodly world, cling to Me, pray without ceasing, and devote yourself to this time with Me in My word.  My plans are for your good to give you a future and a hope.  Look up – redemption is closer than you think.
