Hello brothers and sisters, today I have two more readings from the daily devotional book, Jesus Calling, Enjoying Peace in His Presence. The first reading is When many things seem dated October 3rd.
When many things seem to be going wrong, trust Me. When your life feels increasingly out of control, thank Me. These are supernatural responses, and they can lift you above your circumstances. If you do what comes naturally in the face of difficulties, you may fall prey to negativism. Even a few complaints can set you on a path that is a downward spiral by darkening your perspective and mindset. With this attitude controlling you, complaints flow more and more readily from your mouth. Each one moves steadily down the slippery spiral. The lower you go, the faster you slide, but it is still possible to apply brakes. Cry out to Me—in My Name! Affirm your trust in Me, regardless of how you feel. Thank Me for everything, though it seems unnatural—even irrational. Gradually, you will begin to ascend, recovering your lost ground.
When you are back on ground level, you can face your circumstances from a humble perspective. If you choose supernatural responses this time—trusting, and thanking Me—you will experience my unfathomable peace.
Scripture references:
Psalm 13:5
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
Ephesians 5:20
Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Psalm 34:103
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
The second reading is: I am the Creator of Heaven and Earth; dated October 4th
“I am the Creator of Heaven and Earth: Lord of all that is and all that will ever be. Although I am unimaginably vast, I choose to dwell within you, permeating you with My Presence. Only in the spirit realm could Someone so infinitely great live within someone so small. Be awed by the Power and the Glory of My Spirit within you!
“Though the Holy Spirit is infinite, He deigns to be your Helper. He is always ready to offer assistance; all you need to do is ask. When the path before you looks easy and straightforward, you may be tempted to go it alone instead of relying on Me. This is when you are in the greatest danger of stumbling. Ask My Spirit to help you as you go each step of the way. Never neglect this glorious source of strength within you.”
Scripture References:
John 14:16
“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him: but you know him for he dwells with you and will be with you”
John 16:7
“But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.”
Zechariah 4:6
So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD Almighty’”
That is the end of today’s readings. I pray that they bless you. Amen
Be blessed, dear family, until the next time.
