Romans 9-11, Proverbs 21:17-31

What God said to me – Oh the depths of the riches of My wisdom and knowledge.  There is no end, but you must spend your lifetime searching. As I reveal more and more of Myself to you, your spirit becomes richer, your character deepens, and your faith becomes stronger.  There is such an unending joy in getting to know Me.  I reveal Myself in so many ways, but you must be seeking in order to see Me.  Sometimes it’s huge and grand like fireworks exploding in the sky above and sometimes it’s small and quiet like a whispered secret.  Sometimes it’s in the pain of going deep and sometimes it’s in the lightness of flying high.  Keep your eyes open, always looking, and I will reveal Myself to you.

Romans 6-8, Proverbs 21:1-16

What God said to me – I know the unrighteousness of those in power upsets you, as it should.  But never forget that their hearts are like channels of water in My hand, and I can turn them whatever way I desire in order to accomplish My purpose.  So as you look at the things happening in your nation and in the world, be angry because of sin and injustice, but rejoice because “I AM” in control and using those things to accomplish My purpose.  The end is drawing near.  As you see the stage being set, look on with anticipation.  You will learn much about how “I AM” at work in the world and your faith will grow as you see My hand behind the scenes.

Romans 4-5, Proverbs 20:16-30

What God said to me – With respect to the promise from me, Abraham did not waiver in unbelief, but grew strong in faith, giving Me glory because he was sure that what I promised, I was able to do.  This is how I want you to live your life – a life of trust and faith.  I have promised you that walking with Me will yield great rewards – growing faith – increasing joy – steady growth.  So even though you may not see it or feel it, “I AM” at work in your life as you continue to walk with Me.  Keep going.  Don’t give up.  Don’t waiver in unbelief and you’ll grow strong in faith and learn to give Me glory in every circumstance.
