HOW RICH YOU ARE!

There is a little book that the Lord placed in my hands many years ago - He does not have me read it regularly, but every once in awhile He will point it out to me and have me read something for that day. The book is title "God Calling" and is a collection of God's words for 365 days a year. It is NOT a typical devotional written by men trying to interpret God's words, or speaking in generalities - no, these are the Lord's actual words as given to two faithful women believers (seemingly decades ago, as some of the ways they wrote His words are in older english; cannot find a copyright date as the book is particularly hard to find).

The book is arranged in small passages by days of the year and again is NOTHING like typical devotionals and really isn't such...hard to explain unless you've read it. Sort of like "Exhortations From The Father" put into book form during one year in these beloved womens' lives. (they refer to themselves merely as the "two listeners").

The Lord had me pull it out tonight - and told me to post the word that He spoke to the women on this same day all those years ago (September 1st, 2009) (I especially adore that He uses the term "unfailing" as a) that is THIS MINISTRY and b) the word is only used ONE TIME in the entire Bible):

HOW RICH YOU ARE September 1

"I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." (Heb. xiii.5.)

"My children, that word is unfailingly true. Down the centuries thousands have proved My constancy, My untiringness, My unfailing Love. "Never leave." "Never forsake". Not just a presence is meant by this, but....

"My Love will never leave you. My Understanding will never leave you. My Strength will never leave you. Think of all that I AM:

Love - then for ever you are sure of Love.
Strength - then for ever, in every difficulty and danger, you are sure of strength.
Patience - then always there is One who can never tire.
Understanding - then always you will be understood.

"Can you fear the future when it holds so much for you? Beloved, "set your affections on things above" (the higher, spiritual things), "and not on things on the earth" (the lower, temporal things), and you will see how rich you are."
