Today's message from Sarah Young & her "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", popular book or daily flip calendar. A message for each day; this is today's. (I have a ways to go!):
"I am training you in steadiness.
Too many things interrupt your awareness of Me.
I know that you live in a world of sight and sound,
but you must not be a slave to those stimuli.
Awareness of Me can continue in all circumstances,
no matter what happens.
This is steadiness I declare for you.
Don't let unexpected events throw you off course.
Rather, respond calmly and confidently,
remembering that I am with you.
As soon as something grabs your attention,
talk with Me about it.
Thus I share your joys and your problems,
I help you cope with whatever is before you.
This is how I live in you and work through you.
This is the way to Peace.
Bible verses included: 1) "He does not fear bad news, nor live in dread of what may happen. For he is settled in his mind that God will take care of him. - Psalm 112:7; 2) "Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you: I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. - Isaiah 41:10.
