Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

In the years before Christ our Messiah came to earth the prophets were the ones who heard directly from God and who’s position it was to tell mankind what God was saying.

This placed them in a very important position; probably very stressful and tiring too. They had to tell people what God was saying, be it good or bad!

It is never nice to pass on bad news to others, but we should always be trying to tell people the truth.

God gave the truth to the prophets so they could pass it on. Don’t hold back!

Psalm 25:14 The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.

Do you know what your secret of the Lord is yet? I have been described as being a good listener, but I still wonder…

I start each new day with the knowledge Christ has something for me to do. I look forward to what comes my way and hope to get His will done.

I know I fall short and I know I can do better; but without actually going through each day I would not know these things.

Live each day with Christ and listen to what He has for you.

Psalm 49:12 Nevertheless man, though in honour, does not remain; He is like the beasts that perish.

We love to think our homes are going to last forever. We love to think what we build up will outlast us.

If it does, where does it go to when we die? Who is going to gain from what we do and build up?

We all face death each day. We know we are going to die one day. But this should not stop us from trying to achieve the best we can for God!

Ecclesiastes 3:17 I said in my heart, “God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”

As Solomon grew in wisdom and faith, He continued to explore the things man had said were true and found so much wanting.

He continued to see God’s law being there for both the wicked and the faithful; God is just!

Just because we may go to church faithfully and may read our bibles regularly and may read or write devotionals does not mean we are excused from God’s laws.

Live for God. Live for His Word. Live because He gave His Son.
