Devo

Hello friends. This post is going to be a little different. I thought instead of writing what I think and feel, I'm going to share something I read today, that I think is worth sharing. It's from a daily devotional called "Jesus Calling," by Sarah Young. It's all taken from scripture, and broken down into a few paragraphs of Christ talking to us, in the most relevant way. I especially loved this one, because we often do try to control our lives, and always want to "feel safe." The only security comes from Him. Well here it is...

MAKE ME THE FOCAL POINT of your search for security. In your private thoughts, you are still trying to order your world so that it is predictable and feels safe. Not only is this an impossible goal, but it is also counterproductive to spiritual growth. When your private world feels unsteady and you grip My hand for support, you are living in conscious dependence of Me.
Instead of yearning for a problem-free life, rejoice that trouble can highlight your awareness of My presence. In the darkness of adversity, you are able to see more clearly the radiance of My Face. Accept the value of problems in this life, considering them pure joy. Remember that you have an eternity of trouble-free living awaiting you in heaven.
