Deuteronomy 22:1-26:19

What God said to me – “I AM” always with you.  “I AM” constantly watching you.  I know everything that has happened, is happening or will ever happen to you.  “I AM” in you and around you.  I move about you to protect you and deliver you from attacks you are not even aware are occurring.  You can know that if something you perceive as bad happens, I have allowed it.  Don’t be afraid or become despondent for I can and will turn a curse into a blessing, bad into good, tragedy into triumph.  Trust me that I will indeed work all things for your good and My glory.  I love you.  You are Mine.

Deuteronomy 18:1-21:23

What God said to me – You have no need for a prophet . . . you have Me . . . you have My word.  Stay near Me and spend much time in My word for then you will know all you need to know.  In this ongoing conversation we have as you spend time with Me, I speak to you not only to fellowship with you and to teach you, but to reprove you and warn you and give you direction.  Stay close to Me and I will never let you go too far to the left or right.  You will be exactly where I want you to be.  I will open your eyes to My work all around you, not just in your family, church, and community, but in the world.  “I AM” accomplishing My purposes and plan even now.

Deuteronomy 14:1-17:20

What God said to me – You are My child.  I have separated you and all of My children from the world.  You are My treasure and “I AM” your God and Father.  Honor Me. Worship Me. Spend much time with Me and in My word for as you do, you learn to revere Me.  Like a child, I teach you day by day.  As you learn and grow, My teaching and interaction with you will become deeper, more intimate.  I will slowly but surely transform you into My image.  You will begin to act more and more like Me and think more and more like Me.  There is nothing that pleases a father more than to hear it said that his child looks and acts like him.  You are My child.
