2 Chronicles 1-4, Psalms 102

What God said to me – Psalm 102:8 says, “This will be written for the generation to come, that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.”  Do you realize this is you – “the generation to come”?  I had My word written down for you – for all of My children – so you could read it and praise My name . . . so I could speak to you and teach you and show you My faithfulness to My children since creation.  You must be careful not to neglect My word for in it you will find all you need for life and godliness.  In it you will find hope and peace as you learn My character and see how My faithfulness to past generations will extend to you.  You can’t walk closely with Me apart from My word because “I AM” the word.  If you want to know Me more intimately and closely – dedicate yourself to My word.

1 Corinthians 15-16, Psalms 101

What God said to me – Hold fast to the word.  Things around you are changing quickly and at times the upheaval seems too much.  It is during those times that you most need to cling to My word.  When things spin out of control and you feel like you are about to lose it, My word will anchor you.  It will give you something to hold on to so you will not slip away.  In it you will find the comfort and direction you need to persevere.  Stay in My word and you will sense My closeness more than ever.  Remember “I AM” the word so when you are in the word, you are in a very real way in Me.

1 Corinthians 12-14, Psalms 100

What God said to me – You have a place in My body.  I have put you exactly where I want you to be.  Don’t waste time wondering why you are not somewhere else or why “I AM” not using you in the way I use someone else.  Be content where I have placed you and devote yourself to serving Me as I lead you.  You must realize that whatever capacity you are serving in the church, you are serving Me.  Keep that in mind when you get tired or discouraged.  All ministry is to Me.  You must not look at numbers or responses to gauge your success.  The question for you to answer is did you serve Me well?
