A daily devotional through the recorded words Jesus spoke while He walked alongside us. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com.

1. Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm your host Richard Agee.
2. People spend a lot of money trying to figure out who they are and what they should be doing. Jesus was pretty clear about His own identity.
3. Scripture
   1. Revelation 22:16
   2. Jesus: I, Jesus, have sent My messenger to show you and guide you so that you in turn would share this testimony with the churches. I am the Root and the Descendant of David, the Bright Morning Star.

   2. We want to know who we are and how to get better because we don’t like the way we are right now
      1. Improvement is good
      2. Obsession over finding something you are not is not so good
      3. There is a place to find help in knowing yourself and the path you should take
      4. Jesus gives us the answer to following the right path
   3. “I have sent my messenger to show you and guide you
      1. Holy Spirit knows what’s best for us and how our lives should progress through the journey of life
      2. He was there at the creation, the beginning of all things
      3. He will be here at the end, when time stops
      4. His task from the Father and Son

   4. John tells us in His letter the words Jesus spoke about this messenger that will help us through this life.
      1. God’s presence with us and in us
      2. He is the best helper we can get
      3. Better than self-help because we don’t know the path God wants us to take unless we ask and allow Him to guide us
      4. Doesn’t tell us what next year will be like or even tomorrow
      5. Gives us the next step to take on the journey
