May you accept all who come your way in the compassion and grace of God which He has bestowed on you, who partake in the same sinful nature as they do, for God's judgment, held in reserve until His chosen time, is based on truth, and if you reject any by judging them unworthy of God's kindness, tolerance and patience which leads to repentance, how will you escape His judgment? Romans 2
Hide away with Me, My child, in your innermost heart as you go about your day discharging your responsibilities, both in the world and with your family. Be shut in with Me in a secret place shedding the world, its cares, and all of its impositions with which it seeks to weigh you down and distract you from turning your eyes upon Me.
Cultivate the process and practice the habit of coming before Me, washed and cleansed in the Spirit and the Word, keeping the door to My presence unblocked and cleared so that when you hear the whisper of the Spirit drawing and inviting you, the way is known and straight, without obstacles, without disorientation.
Just as King David assigned Asaph to lead his brethren and associates in praise and worship before My ark in Jerusalem regularly according to each day's requirements so, too, let My tabernacle be established in your heart before which you can come in thanks, praise, worship and exultation, regardless of what is going on around you.
Pray without ceasing, giving thanks always to Me for all things, knowing in faith that My will shall be established and My Word is greater than circumstances. No matter what happens, when you praise Me in the secret place of your heart, My power is released to bring victory, just as I did at the cross. The events did not change but the result was redemptive for all people, making salvation available.
Just as Paul's trip to Jerusalem caused him to be bound, jailed, taken to Rome, and there killed, through his trust of and praise to Me political and religious leaders heard the Gospel and were touched, and My revelations to him have reached the world for millennia.
That which is done in secret, My child, will not remain hidden; what is whispered in darkness will be proclaimed from the rooftops. Let it be that which will glorify Me, so that your reward may be sure. Worship Me in the stillness and sanctuary of your heart, My child, and you will have My words to speak to others when you need them.
May you seek to dwell with Christ in His glory, abide with Christ in His honor, and live with Christ in His resurrection by patient persistence in continually doing good, not by the strength of your will but by the response of His nature as you allow the Spirit of God to transform you into the image of God's Son. Romans 2
May you walk in the light of the law of God's love, showing and sharing, through your service to each person, the high value He places on them so that by obeying the law written on your heart you may be made right in His sight and receive God's approval. Romans 2
May the Lord, Who is King for ever and causes His enemies to fall, hear the humble desire of the meek and afflicted and, listening to their cry, strengthen their heart in preparation by encouraging them with justice for the fatherless and the oppressed, so that those who are of the earth may terrify them no more. Psalm 10
May the value which God's love places on you motivate you to seek and acquire wisdom and good sense, and may you prosper as you guard and preserve the treasure of your understanding and prudence. Proverbs 19:8
