Micah 1:1-7:20

What God said to me – There is coming a day – My day – when justice will reign, and righteousness will triumph.  Look to that day.  Live for that day.  Walk in a manner worthy of your calling so you will not be ashamed on that day.  Spend time thinking about that day and the difficulty and judgment that is coming for those who do not know Me.  Pray for them.  Share with them.  Be a faithful watchman on the wall warning them of what is to come so that they might turn now and escape.  The world is snowballing toward destruction, and nothing can stop it.  The world is lost, but there is hope for a few.  Live for Me and let Me use you to reach them.  Time is short.  Be faithful.

Jonah 1:1-4:11

What God said to me – “I AM” in control – it’s that simple!  I control nature and everything in it from the weather to the animals.  There is nothing that will not obey my command and carry out My purposes.  Don’t forget that truth when the storms come.  The winds and the waves do My bidding.  I use them to accomplish My purpose.  When the storms come, look to Me for “I AM” at work.  Don’t be afraid for “I AM” in control.  Many times, I use storms to capture your attention and to re-focus your priorities.  It’s so easy for you to begin to coast along when things are peaceful and for you to become complacent.  You must work at keeping your focus on Me so that doesn’t happen.

Amos 1:1-Obadiah 1:21

What God said to me – My word is the plumb line by which I measure.  How does your life line up?  Filter everything you say and everything you do through My word for that is My standard.  If it does not line up, don’t do it.  If it does not line up, don’t say it.  How can you possibly live in such a way?  You must know My word.  You must know Me.  I can’t say it enough – devote yourself to My word for that is where I will reveal Myself to you and you will come to know Me intimately.  “I AM” your teacher.  Take My word and sit at My feet.  Seek My guidance.  Listen to My instruction.  My Spirit will lead you into all truth and the knowledge necessary to live a life pleasing to Me.  Come, let Me reveal Myself to you.
