Jesus calling
I AM CALLING YOU to a life of constant communion with Me. Basic training includes learning to live above your circumstances, even while interacting on that cluttered plane of life. You yearn for a simplified lifestyle so that your communication with Me can be uninterrupted. But I challenge you to relinquish the fantasy of an uncluttered world. Accept each day just as it comes, and find Me in the midst of it all.
Talk with Me about every aspect of your day, including your feelings. Remember that your ultimate goal is not to control or fix everything around you; it is to keep communing with Me. A successful day is one in which you have stayed in touch with Me, even if many things remain undone at the end of the day. Do not let your to-do list (written or mental) become an idol directing your life. Instead, ask My Spirit to guide you moment by moment. He will keep you close to Me.
I Thessalonians 5:17
Proverbs 3:6
Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for Him;
do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath:
do not fret----it leads only to evil.
For evil men will be cut off,
but those who hope in the Lord
will inherit the land.
Psalm 37:7-9
Prayer for the day
We never have to question Your love for us, Lord; You proved it once and for all on the cross. Thank You for the life You lived, the death You died, and the way You overcame the grip of the grave.
