YOUR JOURNEY IS HIS JOURNEY

Hello, again!  Today I am sending you a little message from the book JESUS CALLING, by Sarah Young.  It intimately reminded me of what a day should look like from the time I rise to the time I retire.  I do not always remember this; but when I do, I am a happy woman!  Allow me to share it with you, in hopes that your day will have this same light and peace she speaks of in the mystery of "Jesus Calling."


"I AM INVOLVED IN EACH MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE, (Jesus says) I have carefully mapped out every inch of your journey through this day, even though much of it may feel haphazard.  Because the world  is in a fallen condition, things always seem to be unraveling around the edges.  Expect to find trouble in this day.  At the same time, trust that My way is perfect, even in the midst of such messy imperfection.


"Stay conscious of Me as you go through this day, remembering that I never leave your side.  Let the Holy Spirit guide you step by step, protecting you from unnecessary trials and equipping you to get through whatever must be endured.  As you trudge through the sludge of this fallen world, keep your mind in heavenly places with Me.  Thus the Light of My Presence shines on you, giving you Peace and Joy that circumstances cannot touch."  (Her thoughts come from Psalm 18:30 and Isaiah 41:13.)


Now, I am praying for myself and for those of you who read today's entry. Staying conscious of Jesus is a habit that requires prayer.  For some of us, it is much too easy to be caught up in "Yah, but what about me? What am I supposed to do?" Do nothing, but pray that the Holy Spirit will fill your heart and mind so full of Himself that you can do nothing but praise Him!  I say this because I have come to know that that is what I am to do. Getting tangled up in the what ifs and yeah, buts will do nothing to help your circumstances. Praying for the Holy Spirit to remind you of your Savior and looking for Him in everything that you do, or see, or remember will give you that Peace and Joy you are hoping for. And I am hoping for, as I am one of the all.


I have put my mind in the heavenly places.  Is your mind there, too?
