Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - March 4th

From the devotional "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", by Sarah Young - for March 4th

Devotional Text:

Refuse to worry! In this world there will always be something enticing you to worry. That is the nature of a fallen, fractured planet: Things are not as they should be. So the temptation to be anxious is constantly with you, trying to worm its way into your mind. The best defense is continual communication with Me, richly seasoned with thanksgiving. Awareness of My Presence fills your mind with Light and Peace, leaving no room for fear. This awareness lifts you up above your circumstances, enabling you to see problems from My perspective. Live close to Me! Together we can keep the wolves of worry at bay.

Included Scriptures:

Luke 12:25-26
English Standard Version
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
English Standard Version
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Once again, I am reminded of my dependence on the Lord. That walking and talking daily with Him is what will keep me on the right track and keep me in balance. Worry adds nothing to life. Instead rejoice.

God bless you!
