Esther 1:1-3:15

What God said to me – “I AM” in control.  No matter what the circumstances, don’t look at the circumstances – look at Me.  Know Me.  Know My character.  Know that I will not allow anything to happen to you that I have not decided is for your best and My glory.  “I AM” a faithful God who does no wrong.  Trust in that.  Hold on to My sovereignty.  Don’t be afraid for “I AM” with you and I will never leave you.  There are no coincidences in the lives of My children.  Like the orchestra leader who directs the orchestra when to play loudly and when to play softly, when to speed up and when to slow down – I direct your life according to My plan.  Trust Me.

Nehemiah 9:1-13:30

What God said to me – I have given you My good Spirit to instruct you.  Stay in My word and let My Spirit teach you.  There is much you do not understand but My Spirit will enlighten you.  You will know the truth and it will set you free – free to serve Me – free to worship Me.  Don’t be like Israel.  They failed to listen to Me and failed to remember all the good things I had done for them and the bad things that happened because of their disobedience.  Whenever they came to a place of rest, they would forget Me and go their own way.  You must learn from them.  In the difficult times you automatically turn to Me because of your need.  In the good times stay even closer.  Remain in My word, listen to Me and remember what I have done so you don’t fall away.

Nehemiah 6:1-8:18

What God said to me – Listen attentively to all I say.  My word is life to you . . . it is your food . . . it is your sustenance.  Spend much time in My word.  Devote yourself to it for through it you will hear from Me.  “I AM” your teacher as you study My word.  Question Me and I will explain.  I will open the truth to you as you seek Me.  I will reveal Myself to you and you will come to know Me intimately.  Don’t neglect My word of truth for in doing so, you neglect Me.  If you truly want to know Me deeply and walk with Me closely then you must devote yourself to My word for “I AM” the word.
