Jesus Calling ~ Feb 14

Give yourself fully to the adventure of today.  Walk boldly along the path of Life, relying on your ever-present Companion.  You have every reason to be confident, because My Presence accompanies you all the days of your life-and onward into eternity.  Do not give in to fear or worry, those robbers of abundant living.  Trust Me enough to face problems as they come, rather than trying to anticipate them.  Fix your eyes on Me, the Author and Perfecter of your faith, and many difficulties on the road ahead will vanish before you reach them.  Whenever you start to feel afraid, remember that I am holding you by your right hand.  Nothing can separate you from My Presence! 

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ~Hebrews 12:2

 

For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.   ~Isaiah 41:13

 

I so love that last verse!!  He has been telling me lately to keep reaching for Him, to keep holding His hand and He will lead me!!  (unfortunately there are times I let go… still working on that)  But the fact that He is always there, reaching for me… wanting ME to take hold of His hand so that He can protect me and keep me from fearing what I am going through.  He helps me to appreciate everyday and to keep focused on HIM!!

 

 

So.. a friend of mine was/is doing a daily devotional called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.  I decided to head on over iTunes and see what they had since I had a gift card for iTunes.  They had it so I got it.  I really like it.  The one I got is more like an app than the audible book but I still like it.
