Judges 13-15, Proverbs 18

What God said to me – You must learn not to jump to conclusions as to what you are to do when you encounter an opportunity or difficult circumstances.  Just because it seems good on the surface doesn’t mean I want you to pursue it and conversely, just because it is unclear or seems bad doesn’t mean I’m telling you stop.  You must learn to seek Me in all things.  Don’t live your life based on open doors or closed doors or feelings.  Seek Me. Ask My direction.  I will not lead you astray.  Seek Me.  Follow Me.  Obey Me.  Trust Me.

Judges 10-12, Psalms 71

What God said to me – As you look around you trying to see the gifts I’ve given so you can express your gratitude and thanks, begin with Me.  My righteousness and My salvation of you should provide endless sources for praise and thanksgiving.  Even for the inarticulate or unobservant there should be plenty to spark an outflow of thanksgiving.  Once you start, you will become a fountain of praise and thanksgiving, overflowing and touching everyone you meet.  Living life in this way will make you a marvel in a world of selfishness and self-centeredness.  Living life in this way lifts Me up and draws men to Me.

Judges 7-9, Psalms 70

What God said to me – Expressing gratitude and thanksgiving to Me is an important part of learning to stay faithful.  You must continually recall all I have done and give thanks to build your life of devotion to Me.  That continual remembrance and thanksgiving will begin to grow into faith which will deepen as you continue practicing thanksgiving.  As you accept and acknowledge each gift I give, you will grow stronger in your faith and walk with Me.  Living in such a way yields many benefits – peace, joy, faith, trust.  Living in such a way deepens your relationship with Me.
