Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - May 8th

From the devotional "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", by Sarah Young - for May 8th

Devotional Text:

Do not long for the absence of problems in your life. That is an unrealistic goal, since in this world you will have trouble. You have an eternity of problem-free living reserved for you in heaven. Rejoice in that inheritance, which no one can take away from you, but do not seek your heaven on earth.

Begin each day anticipating problems, asking Me to equip you for whatever difficulties you will encounter. The best equipping is My living Presence, My hand that never lets go of yours. Discuss everything with Me. Take a lighthearted view of trouble, seeing it as a challenge that you and I together can handle. Remember that I am on your side, and I have overcome the world.

Included Scriptures:

John 16:33
English Standard Version

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

Isaiah 41:13
English Standard Version

For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
I am the one who helps you.

God bless you!
