Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - April 24th

From the devotional "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", by Sarah Young - for April 24th

Devotional Text:

Rest in the stillness of My Presence while I prepare you for this day. Let the radiance of My Glory shine upon you, as you wait on Me in confident trust. Be still and know that I am God. There is both a passive and an active side to trusting Me. As you rest in My Presence, focusing on Me, I quietly build bonds of trust between us. When you respond to the circumstances of your life with affirmations of trust, you actively participate in the process.

I am always with you, so you have no reason to be afraid. Your fear often manifests itself in excessive planning. Your mind is so accustomed to this pattern of thinking that you are only now becoming aware of how pervasive it is and how much it hinders your intimacy with Me. Repent of this tendency and resist it, whenever you realize you are wandering down this well worn path. Return to My Presence, which always awaits you in the present moment. I accept you back with no condemnation.

Included Scriptures:

Psalm 46:10
English Standard Version

“Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”

Romans 8:1
English Standard Version

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

God bless you!
