Jesus calling
I AM LIFE AND LIGHT IN ABUNDANCE. As you spend time "soaking" in My Presence, you are energized and lightened. Through communing with Me, you transfer your heavy burdens to My strong shoulders. By gazing at Me, you gain My perspective on your life. This time alone with Me is essential for unscrambling your thoughts and smoothing out the day before you.
Be willing to fight for this precious time with Me. Opposition comes in many forms; your own desire to linger in bed; the evil one's determination to distract you from me; the pressure of family, friends, and your own inner critic to spend your time more productively. As you grown in your desire to please Me above all else, you gain strength to resist these opponents. Delight yourself in Me, for I am the deepest Desire of your heart.
Psalm 48:9
Deuteronomy 33:12
Psalm 37:4
Be still and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
Psalm 46:10
Prayer for the day
Every Word of Scripture is useful for teaching and correcting. Help us, Father, to learn from the mistakes of others who have gone before us and to see Your grace at work in their stories.
