Listen, all you people! Pay attention, for My words are wise, and My thoughts are filled with insight. I am the living God, and I will endure forever. My kingdom will never be destroyed, and My rule will never end.
Son, don’t fear when trouble comes your way. Don’t concern your self when the wicked grow rich and their homes become ever more splendid. For they will die, and they cannot take anything with them. Their wealth will not follow them into the grave. People like this boast of their wealth; they don’t understand that they will die. What I want are people who are thankful and call on Me when they are in trouble, and I will rescue them.
Son, My type of a leader must be a servant. They follow My example, for I came not to be served but to serve others. Then people of the world will recognize their exceptional ability and see that they have divine knowledge and understanding; that they are able to solve difficult problems because they are filled with insight and wisdom. They will prove themselves more capable than all the others. People will see that they are faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy. People will know that they are men of prayer that always ask for My help.
The leaders of your country are not this way, for they have refused My discipline and treat My words like trash. I remained silent, and they thought I didn’t care. But now I will rebuke them, listing all My charges against them. Their hearts and minds are puffed up with arrogance. They have proudly defied Me. They have not honored the One who gives them the breath of life and controls their destiny! They have ignored all My warnings. Therefore, I will bring them down until they learn that I rule everything, and that I alone am God!
Son, come, follow Me. Do not assume that you should receive more, because this will cause you to protest. But, giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors Me. Keep to My path, and I will reveal everything you will need to know. When you humble yourself and weep before Me in repentance I will indeed hear you, and ask you, “What do you want Me to do for you, for everything is possible with Me.”
Lord, I want to see as You see. Walk as You walked. Talk as though You were using my lips.
