2 Kings 10:32-12:21, Acts 18:1-22, Psalms 145:1-24, Proverbs 18:1

What God said to me – There is an old praise song, “How Great Is Our God”.  It asks a question that can never be answered because “I AM” great beyond anything you can think or imagine.  My greatness is truly unsearchable.  As you discover one aspect of My greatness, it leads to another.  My mercies are truly new every morning and My lovingkindness and patience and goodness and love for you never ends.  David cried out in his Psalms, “Bless the Lord oh my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, oh my soul and forget none of His benefits.”  Start each day like David, blessing My name and praising Me for My greatness.  Just because My greatness is never ending and unsearchable doesn’t mean you shouldn’t devote time to discovering aspects of My greatness because it is as you search for Me that I reveal Myself to you.  Meditate on My wonderful works.  Speak of My awesome acts and tell of My greatness.  Bless My name and forget none of My benefits.

2 Kings 9:14-10:31, Acts 17, Psalms 144:1-15, Proverbs 17:27-28

What God said to me – Have you ever gotten a call or a text from someone who says they are thinking about you or praying for you, and it means all the more to you because you know how busy they are with their own stuff?  Do you know that I think about you all the time?  You cannot even count the number of My thoughts about you.  In the overall span of eternity, your life on earth is just a breath and yet I thoughtfully prepared My plan for your life and lead you and guide you through it.  I drew you to Myself and saved you according to My plan so you could come to know Me and walk with Me and fellowship with Me.  I gave you My word and My Spirit to teach you and to reveal Myself to you all the while “I AM” carrying out My plan for the entire world.  When you think about all the lives and plans “I AM” working on and carrying out at the same time, it will boggle your mind, but it should also lead you to fall on your face in awe and worship.

2 Kings 8:1-9:13, Acts 5:16-16:40, Psalms 143:1-12, Proverbs 17:26

What God Said to me – How do you respond in difficulties?  Do you gripe in the traffic jam?  Do you complain when the air conditioning quits, and you can’t get service for two days?  Do you grouse about obtuse people blocking your way at the store and who have no idea they are slowing everyone down?  Do you truly believe that I work all things together for your good or are you just giving Me lip service?  When Paul and Silas and Timothy were beaten and thrown into prison in Philippi, they spent their time singing hymns and praising Me.  They sang and praised rather than rant and complain.  The other prisoners and the jailer were listening to them, and I used their positive response to their trials to do a work in the lives of those around them.  Never forget that people are watching you closely because you are Mine.  They are looking to see if your walk is genuine or if you are a hypocrite.  Take extra care to walk with Me in difficult times because the peace and joy and patience and steadfastness you show is a witness to those who are watching and listening.  Walk in a manner worthy of your calling so I can use your testimony of faithfulness to draw them.
