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.

1 Kings 7—9, Psalms 79

What God said to me – All I do, I do for the glory of My own name and for the love of My children.  As I work to accomplish My purpose in the world it is for the glory of My name.  All that I have said, I will do so the world will know that I alone am God.  They may not acknowledge it now, but there is coming a day when they will.  I also am at work in the world pouring out My love on My children.  As I accomplish My purpose, the kingdom which I have promised them will be established and all they long for will come to fruition.  As you walk with Me, think about that – yearn for that time when “I AM” seated on My throne ruling over the whole earth.

1 Kings 4-6, Psalms 78:40-72

What God said to me – Do you see My sovereignty – that I choose who I will choose to accomplish My purpose?  People may think “I AM” asleep or don’t care because of the way things are but I judge on My own timetable.  When the time is right, I will overcome My adversaries once and for all.  I will save My people and restore them to the land and their proper place.  Your call is to shepherd those I bring to you.  You must walk in integrity of heart before Me. You must be faithful to teach and warn.
