Malachi 1:1-4:5

What God said to me – I the Lord do not change.  “I AM” the same yesterday, today, and forever.  “I AM” a covenant keeping God and “I AM” in covenant with you.  Walk with Me and let Me teach you what that means to you.  “I AM” your protector and defender, your shield and your fortress and you are My treasured possession.  I take such delight in talking with you and teaching you and in showing Myself to you.  I know that you can’t truly understand what that means, but I want you to know it and trust that it’s true.  There is coming a day when you will see Me face to face, but until that day comes, walk with me, delight in Me, and know that I delight in you.  You are My treasured possession.

Zechariah 10:1-14:21

What God said to me – Holy to the Lord – that is what you are to Me.  Holy, set apart, you are Mine.  I have chosen you and set you apart.  Act like it!  Live for Me and quit yearning to fit in and be accepted.  I have called you to be different and to live differently.  It’s not that the secular and ordinary things are bad, it’s that I have set you apart for the best . . . for what’s holy.  Walk with Me.  Seek Me first and I will make even the basic things you do holy to Me.  When you live for Me, I make everything you do, whether it’s working at your job or cooking for your family, holy to Me.  Walk with Me.  Seek Me first and all you do will bring glory to My name.

Zechariah 6:1-9:17

What God said to me – Like jewels in My crown, that is how I think of you . . . beautiful . . . valuable.  Walk with Me.  Live for Me and you will sparkle throughout the land for I will shine through you.  When you live in that way, people see you and know that “I AM”.  Your life should always be a reflection of My glory.  When you spend time with Me and devote yourself to My word, I fill you up without you even realizing it.  Remember how Moses’ face glowed when he came down from the mountain after spending time with Me?  The more time you devote to Me in prayer and study, and seeking My face and in obedience, the more others will see My reflection in you.  Let Me fill you so others can see My glory.
