Hebrews 1-6

What God said to me – Do you know easy it is to drift?  Think about a leaf in a river – it doesn’t do anything and it drifts.  It is subject to all kinds of outside agents – the wind, the current, even something falling next to it in the water will cause it to move.  Do you know what you have to do to drift away from Me?  Absolutely nothing – just like the leaf.  When you are not anchored to Me you will automatically drift.  Our relationship is active and proactive – you holding on to Me and Me holding on to you – you reaching out to Me and Me reaching out to you.  You must intentionally pay close attention to My word so you don’t drift away from it.  You must intentionally seek Me and ask for guidance and direction.  When you do this moment by moment, day by day, then you never have to worry about drifting away from me or missing My will.

Titus 1-3, Philemon 1

What God said to me – The news is full of stories of cruelty and evil and absolute rejection of all things holy and godly.  I know it is discouraging to My children as darkness seems to be overtaking every area of society.  Your natural inclination is to either give up or to hunker down and stay shielded from it all.  But I have not called you to concede defeat or to isolate yourself from the world.  I called you to be in the world but not of it. I called you to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly and righteously and godly in the present age.  I put you in this time and place for a reason.  Light is necessary to accomplish My purpose and glorify My name and draw others to Me so let your light shine.  Don’t despair but rather be looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of My glory.

2 Timothy 1-4

What God said to me – My people are without excuse.  I have given them My word and My Spirit to live within them and yet most spend little time in My word and ignore the prompting of My Spirit.  That is why they are so susceptible to compromising with the world and rejecting a life of holiness and godliness.  The constant bombardment of ungodliness and evil in television and movies and on the internet can wear you down if you have not been anchored to Me by My word and Spirit.  It is easy to fall for lies when you don’t know the truth.  You must take hold of My word and be diligent to study it.  It will teach you and train you and help you discern right from wrong, good from evil, and holiness from ungodliness.  Avoid the ungodliness promoted by the world and devote yourself to My word instead for it is a treasure I have entrusted to you so you can live in a manner worthy of your calling.
