Psalms 93:1-98:9

What God said to me – Worship Me in the splendor of My holiness for that is the only way you can truly worship.  I gave My holiness to you for without it, you couldn’t approach Me . . . couldn’t worship Me.  That you can see Me in My holiness and approach Me in worship should be a cause of great rejoicing for with My righteous hand and holy arm I have saved you.  I made you into one of My own and I love it when you come to Me singing and rejoicing and praising and thanking.  “I AM” your God.  Hear My voice.  Seek My face.  Don’t harden your heart or turn away from Me.  Stay close to Me so you won’t stray.  Spend much time in worship so your focus will stay on Me.

Psalms 90:1-92:15

What God said to me – Walk with Me and I will teach you to number your days.  I will show you what is truly important and help you to prioritize the things in your life.  “I AM” your refuge – not just from the storms of life, but from the “stuff” of life.  All the “stuff” can be pretty overwhelming at times, distracting you from what is really important.  When you take refuge in Me, I give you rest from all those things that consume your time and attention.  I help you to focus on eternity and things that matter.  Weariness brings a lack of focus so you’re unable to see through all the “stuff” to what is really important.  It becomes a vicious cycle of busyness and weariness.  Stop!  Rest in My shadow.  Let Me restore you.  Let Me teach you to number your days.

Psalms 85:1-89:52

What God said to me – Only I can change a heart.  No amount of self-discipline or self-denial can change a heart for it is too deep.  Self-denial and self-discipline can only go so far . . . can only make superficial changes.  I alone can give you a new heart, an undivided heart, a pure heart.  Walk with Me and I will teach you My Way.  I will put My fear in your new heart.  I will help you to keep your focus on Me so your heart will not divide.  You are fearfully and wonderfully made – not just physically, but spiritually.  I designed you to be filled up with Me.  I designed you to commune with Me.  Think about that.  What a wonderful thing that is.  Let Me fill you up and fulfill My purpose in you.
