Midnight City

I was reading from my daily devotional titled, Jesus Calling, and I wanted to share with you what it said. If you have never gone through this devotional before, I really encourage you to go pick up a copy. It is written from the perspective as if Jesus was sitting here talking to us in person. It really is amazing how encouraging and powerful it is.

“Strive to trust Me in more and more areas of your life. Anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity. Instead of running away from these challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessings I have hidden in the difficulties. If you believe that I am sovereign over every aspect of your life, it is possible to trust Me in all situations. Don’t waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been. Start at the present moment- accepting things exactly as they are- and search for My way in the midst of those circumstances. Trust is like a staff you can lean on, as you journey uphill with Me. If you are trusting Me consistently, the staff will bear as much of your weight as needed. Lean on, trust, and be confident in Me with all your heart and mind.”
