Jesus Calling

A friends’ mom sent me a devotional, Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. It gives the perspective from scripture of Jesus talking to the reader. I opened to a random page and read this one first:

Come to me with all your weaknesses: physical, emotional, and spiritual.  Rest in the comfort of My Presence, remember that nothing is impossible with Me (Luke 1:37). 

Pry your mind away from your problems so you can focus your attention on Me.  Recall that I am able to do immeasurable more than all you ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20-21).  Instead of trying to direct Me to do this and that, seek to attune yourself to what I am already doing.

When anxiety attempts to wedge its way into your thoughts, remind yourself that I am your Shepherd (Psalm 23:1-4).  The bottom line is that I am taking care of you; therefore, you needn’t be afraid of anything. Rather than trying to maintain control over life, abandon yourself to My will.  Though this may feel frightening – even dangerous, the safest place to be is in My will.

My summary: Nothing is impossible for God, He is able to do way more than we could ever imagine and we shouldn’t be afraid. Being with Him is the safest place because He is in complete control and will take care of us. God is good!
