A friend told me that I should get this little devotion book a while ago and my mom has sent me numerous facebook messages with the contents for the day attached, but it wasn't until I went home in May that I actually saw the book in real life. My mom gave me her copy before I came back to Guatemala because it had encouraged me so much in so little time. So I have been reading it every morning (or evening when I don't have the time in the AM) and EVERY DAY God speaks to me through the words of the devotion. Seriously, sometimes I feel like the author asked God what Susan Fidler would be going through on that very day before she wrote the words. All this to say that I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone. It is called Jesus Calling and it is written by Sarah Young. Part of today's devotion says:
Rest in Me, my child. Give your mind a break from planning and trying to anticipate what will happen. Pray continually, asking My Spirit to take charge of the details of the day. Remember that you are on a journey with Me. When you try to peer into the future and plan for every possibility, you ignore your constant Companion who sustains you moment by moment.
God, Thank you for this reminder. Help me and everyone else who reads this to keep in mind that we are on a journey with you that requires us to relinquish OUR control and constantly seek You. Thank you for your faithfulness!!!
