Jeremiah 33-34, 1 Timothy 4, Psalms 89:1-13, Proverbs 25:23-24

What God said to me – No good thing do I withhold from those who walk uprightly.  Do you truly believe that?  The problem is you think good things are success and not having problems and having possessions are happiness.  Your definition of good things and Mine is often totally different.  When I say good things, I don’t just mean what you would consider as blessings, I also mean those things I use to transform you and teach you, including trials and difficult times because these things lead you into a closer relationship with Me.  I can use even the worst things in your life for your good and My glory.  That is what it means to work “all” things together for good to those who love Me and are called according to My purpose.

Jeremiah 31:27-32:44, 1 Timothy 3, Psalms 88:1-18, Proverbs 25:20-22

What God said to me – You cannot change your heart so quit trying.  It’s the reason you are so up and down in your walk with Me – you are trying to change.  “I AM” the key to a changed heart and mind.  If you truly desire to change, then just commit yourself to walk with Me.  To do that you must devote yourself to My word and spend time in it each day – not just reading but studying and thinking on it and asking questions and searching for answers.  My word has innate power to cleanse and transform those who are dedicated to it.  My Spirit will teach you and show you how to use it in your life.  That’s what this lifelong conversation with Me is all about – walking with Me, talking with Me, listening to Me, and doing what I instruct as we go on together.

Jeremiah 30:1-31:26, 1 Timothy 2, Psalms 87:1-7, Proverbs 25:18-19

What God said to me – “In the latter days you will understand this.”  There is so much in My word – layers and depths and nuances and hidden truths – so much that can only be understood by spending time in it with Me teaching you and revealing truth to you.  There is also much that cannot be understood until the time is right.  I told Daniel that much of what I told him would be concealed and sealed up until the end of time.  I told Jeremiah the same.  I reveal truth at the proper time, both in your life and in history itself.  So much of what I say can only be understood in context, whether it’s in your life or in history.  As you walk with Me and I teach you and prepare you to receive and understand more and more -precept upon precept – I build My truth in your life.  My word has depths that will take you a lifetime to understand, but the more you devote yourself to it, the more intimately you come to know Me.
