James 1:1-5:20

What God said to me – Are you in trouble, then pray.  Are you happy, then praise.  Everything that happens in your life should cause you to turn to Me.  When you are struggling or overwhelmed by all that is happening, run to Me and pour out your heart.  “I AM” always with you and I always listen.  “I AM” here to comfort and to guide, to listen and to encourage.  Don’t avoid Me because you know your attitudes and feelings are not what I would want them to be.  Come to Me and let Me clear your mind and give you direction to help you get back on the right path.  Dive into My word and let Me speak to you.

Hebrews 13:1-25

What God said to me – My children have an altar from which no one else can eat, but you must be Mine in order to partake.  My word is the bread on that altar.  You can eat and be satisfied and yet there is always room for more.  You can never come to the end of Me for my greatness is unsearchable.  My word is paradoxical – the more you have, the more satisfied you are and yet the hungrier you are.  Devour My word.  Constantly be seeking to go deeper and to learn more.  Let Me transform you through My word.  Devote yourself to My word for when you are devoted to My word, you are devoted to Me.  It is through My word that I equip you with every good thing to do My will.

Hebrews 12:1-29

What God said to me – Fix your eyes on Me for “I AM” the author and the completer of your faith.  “I AM” your example in all things.  So when you are struggling or tired or losing focus – consider Me.  Look to Me.  Seek Me out.  “I AM” the one who started this good work in you and “I AM” the one who will see it through.  “I AM” with you step by step, moment by moment.  I know it’s hard to believe when you are struggling or so tired you don’t want to do anything, but I have been there, so I know how to help you get through in a way that pleases and glorifies My Father.  Fix your eyes on Me.
