Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - October 22nd

From the devotional "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", by Sarah Young - for October 22nd

Devotional Text:

No matter what your circumstances may be, you can find Joy in My Presence. On some days Joy is generously strewn along your life-path, glistening in the sunlight. On days like that, being content is as simple as breathing the next breath or taking the next step. Other days are overcast and gloomy; you feel the strain of the journey, which seems endless. Dull gray rocks greet your gaze and cause your feet to ache. Yet Joy is still attainable. Search for it as for hidden treasure.

Begin by remembering that I have created this day; it is not a chance occurrence. Recall that I am present with you whether you sense My Presence or not. Then, start talking with Me about whatever is on your mind. Rejoice in the fact that I understand you perfectly, and I know exactly what you are experiencing. As you continue communicating with Me, your mood will gradually lighten. Awareness of My marvelous Companionship can infuse Joy into the grayest day.

Included Scriptures:

Psalm 21:6
English Standard Version

For you make him most blessed forever;
you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

Proverbs 2:4
English Standard Version

if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures

God bless you!
