Joshua 7-9, Psalms 54

What God said to me – You must always seek My counsel if you truly want to follow Me wholeheartedly.  Don’t come to the place where you think you understand the situation, so you try to handle it on your own.  A great part of walking with Me is seeking Me out and listening to Me.  Even when things seem obvious, turn to Me and seek My counsel so you are not deceived because there are long term consequences for short term lapses in judgment.  Walking with Me means going step by step as I direct. 

Joshua 4-6, Psalms 53

What God said to me – Take off your shoes for the place you are standing is holy.  “I AM” in your presence.  “I AM” always here.  Fall on your face and worship Me for “I AM” worthy of praise and honor and glory.  Look around.  See Me and My work.  Remember all I have done on your behalf, and you will fall on your face in worship.  Don’t neglect this time.  It is important for you.  It is necessary for you to stay connected to Me.  Worship . . . the expression of gratitude . . . the acknowledgment of who “I AM” in your life binds your heart to Mine and strengthens your faith in ways you will never know or understand.

Joshua 1-3, Psalms 52

What God said to me – Be strong and courageous for “I AM” with you every step of the way.  I will never leave you nor forsake you.  Trust Me and never forget you can always count on Me.  Stay in My word for it will help you to stay on track.  “I AM” the God who keeps His promises.  I promise you that “I AM” carrying out My plan for your life.  Each day may seem insignificant to you . . . like nothing is happening, but “I AM” at work.  “I AM” growing you each day as you spend time with Me . . . preparing you . . . equipping you.  Step by step “I AM” building holiness into your life and transforming you into My image.  Stay close and let Me work.
