Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - December 29th

From the devotional "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", by Sarah Young - for December 29th

Devotional Text:

Trust Me with every fiber of your being! What I can accomplish in and through you is proportional to how much you depend on Me. One aspect of this is the degree to which you trust Me in a crisis or major decision. Some people fail miserably here, while others are at their best in tough times. Another aspect is even more telling: the constancy of your trust in Me. People who rely on Me in the midst of adversity may forget about Me when life is flowing smoothly. Difficult times can jolt you into awareness of your need for Me, whereas smooth sailing can lull you into the stupor of self-sufficiency.

I care as much about your tiny trust-steps through daily life as about your dramatic leaps of faith. You may think that no one notices, but the One who is always beside you sees everything--and rejoices. Consistently trusting in Me is vital to flourishing in My Presence.

Included Scriptures:

Psalm 40:4
English Standard Version
Blessed is the man who makes
the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
to those who go astray after a lie!

3 When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?

Psalm 62:8

Trust in him at all times, O people;

God is a refuge for us. Selah

Isaiah 26:3-4
English Standard Version
3 You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.

for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.

God bless you!
