Hello Brothers and Sisters, thank you for joining me, once again, as I share two more readings from the daily devotional book, Jesus Calling, Enjoying Peace in His Presence.
The first reading for today is As You Sit Quietly, dated May 17.
As You Sit Quietly in my presence, remember that I am a God of abundance. I will never run out of resources; My capacity to bless you is unlimited. You live in a world of supply and demand, where necessary things are often scarce. Even if you personally have enough, you see poverty in the world around you. It is impossible for you to comprehend the lavishness of My provisions: the fullness of My glorious riches. Through spending time in My presence, you gain glimpses of My overflowing vastness. These glimpses are tiny foretastes of what you will experience eternally in heaven. Even now, you have access to as much of Me as you have faith to receive. Rejoice in My abundance—living by faith, not by sight.
The scripture references are:
Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:20-21
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
2nd Corinthians 5:7
We live by faith, not by sight.
The second reading for today is Come to Me, dated May 18.
“Come to Me with your plans held in abeyance. Worship Me in spirit and in truth, allowing My glory to permeate your entire being. Trust Me enough to let Me guide you through this day, accomplishing My purposes in My timing. Subordinate your myriad plans to My master plan. I am sovereign over every aspect of your life! The challenge continually before you is to trust Me and search for My way through each day. Do not blindly follow your habitual route, or you will miss what I have prepared for you. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
The scripture references are:
John 4:24
“God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
Isaiah 50:4
The sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He awakens me morning by morning, awakens my ear to listen like one being taught.
Isaiah 55:8-9
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
That is the end of today’s messages.
Thank you so much, once again, for joining. I hope you are blessed until the next message. Amen.
