A beautiful friend of mine gave me the book Jesus Calling by: Sarah Young and it has been such a blessing. The book is filled with short daily devotions for every day of the year. Though the devotions are "short" they do not lack in depth or power. Each devotion has several verses that go along with a brief narrative of what the writer heard God saying to her. I'm so thankful she felt lead to share these intimate words that our Father spoke to her. Here is one I read today and has griped my heart.
"I want you to learn a new habit. Try saying, "I trust You, Jesus" in response to whatever happens to you. If there is time, think about who I AM in all My Power and Glory; ponder also the depth and breadth of My Love for you.
This simple practice will help you see Me in every situation, acknowledging My sovereign control over the universe. When you view events from this perspective-through the Light of My universal Presence-fear loses its grip on you. Adverse circumstances become growth opportunities when you affirm your trust in Me no matter what. You receive blessings gratefully, realizing they flow directly from My hand of grace. Your continual assertion of trusting Me will strengthen our relationship and keep you close to me."
Psalm 63:2; Isiah 40:10-11; Psalm 139:7-10
I am starting this day to make this a habit.
