Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - April 1st

From the devotional "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", by Sarah Young - for April 1st

Devotional Text:

I am calling you to a life of constant communion with Me. Basic training includes learning to live above your circumstances, even while interacting on that cluttered plane of life. You yearn for a simplified lifestyle, so that your communication with Me can be uninterrupted. But I challenge you to relinquish the fantasy of an uncluttered world. Accept each day as it comes, and find Me in the midst of it all.

Talk with Me about every aspect of your day, including your feelings. Remember that your ultimate goal is not to control or fix everything around you; it is to keep communing with Me. A successful day is one in which you have stayed in touch with Me, even if many things remain undone at the end of the day. Do not let your to-do list (written or mental) become an idol directing your life. Instead, ask My Spirit to guide you moment by moment. He will keep you close to Me.

Included Scriptures:

1 Thessalonians 5:17
English Standard Version
pray without ceasing,

Proverbs 3:6
English Standard Version
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.

God bless you!
