Malachi 1-2, Revelation 21, Psalms 149:1-9. Proverbs 30:10-24

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 14, Revelation 20, Psalms 148:1-4, Proverbs 31:8-9

What God said to me – There is a day of rest coming for my people when I will reign, and the enemy will be bound.  I know you long for that day, especially when you are tired or overwhelmed or frightened.  In that day I will reign over the whole world and there will be peace.  But what you must realize is that while the whole world is not submitting to My reign today, I do reign in your heart.  Even though storms may be raging all about you, you can know My peace even now.  Don’t focus on the turmoil and uncertainty – focus on Me.  My peace will continually fill you as you acknowledge My rule in your life and you trust that “I AM” in control.  Keep your eyes on Me and I will fill you with My peace.

Zechariah 13, Revelation 19, Proverbs 31:1-7

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.
