Peggy and I have found reading devotional books adds opportunity for a deeper more personal meaning to our relationships: our relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit; and our own relationship with each other.
The following devotion is from Jesus Calling, Enjoy Peace in His Presence, by Sarah Young. She writes her narratives as if Jesus was talking, based on her understanding of the Bible. Today's reading, January 22, pg 23, is based on Psalm 52:8 and Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP) .
“Strive to Trust Me in more and more areas of your life. Anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity. Instead of running away from challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessings I have hidden in the difficulties. If you believe that I am sovereign over every aspect of your life, it is possible to trust Me in all situations. Don't waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been. Start at the present moment—accepting things exactly as they are—and search for My way in the midst of those circumstances.
Trust is like a staff you can lean on, as you journey uphill with Me. If you are trusting in Me consistently, the staff will bear much of your weight as needed. Lean on, trust, and be confident in Me with all your heart and mind.”
Our prayer is asking God to give us the strength to trust in Him, for we are weak and He is strong. I love that song, Jesus Loves Me.
