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”.

1 Samuel 23-25, Proverbs 28:1-14

What God said to me – It is better to be in the most difficult circumstances ever and be crying out to Me for help and deliverance than to be in the best circumstances and not giving Me a thought.  Good or bad, hard or easy, focus is what matters.  Where is your focus?  Is it on Me no matter what your circumstances or is your focus on your circumstances?  It is just as bad to be focused on your circumstances in prosperous times as it is during difficult times.  You must learn to always set your eyes on things above – on Me – and not on earthly things.  That is how you find peace and contentment despite your circumstances.
