Today's hidden Bible message comes to us from Zechariah and Malachi....

From Zechariah 14...

Distinction...will be one Lord...(There shall be no other GOD before ME)

The whole land...their flesh...on that day...with great panic...by the hand...(On that day the peoples of the whole land will be filled with great panic)

The wealth...of Judah...to worship...the King...(The people of the Lord to worship the King)

Do not go up...and the punishment...of all...(Those who do not go up will suffer the punishment of all)

Go up to celebrate...in front...Lord Almighty...in the house...of the Lord Almighty...(The sheep, those of the Lord, will go up to celebrate in the house of the Lord with the Lord Almighty)

From Malachi 1-2...

Light revealing...My messenger..(Light will reveal My messenger)

He first...with GOD's promise...and the dreadful day...of the Lord...(Then as GOD promised, the dreadful day)

I have loved Jacob...of the Lord...(I have loved those of Jacob, the faithful servants of the Lord)

I AM the Father...who shows...contempt...defiled...the Lord's table...with such offerings...so that you...would shut out...My name...where it sets...in every place...(I AM, the Father, shows contempt for those who have defiled the Lord's table with offerings taken in money, so that you then shut out My name where it sets in every place)

Offerings brought to Me...you profane...contemptuously...(You profane offerings to Me contemptuously)

I AM a great King...and know you priests...I will send a curse...because you have...with your festival sacrifices...will know...this warning...turned many...from His mouth...(I AM the King and know the hearts of all you priests.  I will send a curse because you have defiled your sacrifices with your festivals.  Heed this warning for many have turned from the Word of the Lord)

You to be despised...says the Lord Almighty...before all the people...all have not...followed My ways...(You are to be despised before all the people for all have not followed My ways, thus saith the Lord)

All have one Father.....

When we can trust in Him during the difficult times then we are blessed with His peace.  Give thanks during these times and praise His name.  His grace lies in our hearts but when we worry and doubt Him then we allow darkness to cause it to grow in us like weeds.  These weed like vines grow quickly and take over preventing the Light from shining upon us just as they do on a tree.

And My GOD will meet all your needs according to HIS glorious riches in Christ Jesus...Philippians 4:19

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all...2 Corinthians 4:17

As we grow in spirit in His Light, then other things are gradually lessening.  The debris and detritus inside is swept away especially when we offer it up to Him each night.  There is no need that He can not meet.  We come to realize things we thought we needed, we do not.

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us...Ephesians 3:20

Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal, but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting...2 Corinthians 4:18

When we seek Him, He is instantly aware of it and gladdened by this.  Especially in a world full of chaos and noise, everyone seeking for your attention and needing attention.  When we sit quietly and spend time with Him, focused on Him, we are blessed.  He understands it is hard at times, but do not be troubled for over time it gets easier, never give up. 

Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling...Zechariah 2:13

He makes me to lay down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters.  He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake...Psalm 23:2-3

When you turn from Him then difficulties arise for sure.  Many have a façade of happiness, putting on appearances of joy.  Yet inside they are all manner of chaos and corruption which they seek to hide or escape from through drugs, sex, food, partying, money etc. 

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.  In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars...2 Chronicles 16:9

Even tho we may stray from the Lord, and become lost and sinful, never think that you are not loved.  Never think that you are unworthy and inadequate. 

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:  "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it."....Isaiah 30:15

GOD BLESS!  PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!  GOD IS AWESOME!
