1 Chronicles 16:1-17:27

What God said to me – Give thanks. Give thanks. Give thanks. Look around you.  I have blessed you abundantly.  You are My Child and I take great delight in blessing you.  Never forget to be grateful.  Express your gratitude often – not just to Me, but to others.  Never take for granted your life or health or possessions or situation or job or friends or family . . . I could go on and on.  I have blessed you with so much.  It’s easy to give thanks for these “good” things but I want you to give thanks in everything.  Sometimes the greatest blessings are in the “bad” things, the difficult things for during these times you turn to Me.  You are aware of My work on your behalf.  I transform you into my image.  Give thanks in all things.

1 Chronicles 11:1-15:29

What God said to me – Inquire of Me – I will answer you.  Whatever the matter, turn to Me.  Don’t step out on your own assuming you know what to do – inquire of Me.  Look at the example of David.  When David stepped out on his own and decided to bring My ark to Jerusalem on a cart, disaster struck and he lost faith and became afraid.  Take the time to ask Me for direction for I have a plan that will bring Me glory and will build your faith as you see Me work.  Sometimes I may tell you to attack in a straightforward way, sometimes I may tell you to circle around, sometimes I may tell you to speak, sometimes to keep silent.  Learn My voice.  Obey My voice.  You will see Me work things you never thought possible.

1 Chronicles 6:1-10:14

What God said to me – I have called each one of My people and gifted them and equipped them for the tasks I called them for.  It may be as simple as baking bread for My temple or as difficult as leading an army into battle – one is not more important to Me than the other.  Obedience is what is important to Me.  Faithfulness is what is important to Me.  Whatever I put before you, do it wholeheartedly.  Give it your all – give it your best – for it is for Me.  Each one of My children is important to Me.  Each thing I call you to do is important – a part of My plan.  Each task faithfully completed pleases Me and fulfills a part of My plan.  Never think anything is too small for it’s in the small things that you learn faithfulness.
