to stay with my "sister"-cousin and visit with my aunt and uncle from Scotland. Just talking, eating and resting!
I am about to leave home again to train in limited ultrasound. A nine day course, away from home, intense and using my brain in an oh so different way!
I woke up feeling a little worried and overwhelmed with the unknown. So I sat down with Wendy and cuddled (already missing my “wee” friend and my sweet Husband) and picked up my devotional book. I first read in the Daily Bread how the Lord's mercies are new every morning and how great is His faithfulness! The I picked up Jesus Calling.
Let me quote here:
"Do not let any set of circumstances intimidate you.
The more challenging your day, the more of My Power I place at your disposal.
You seem to think that I empower you equally each day,
but this is not so.
Your tendency upon awakening is to assess the difficulties ahead of you,
measuring them against you average strength.
This is an exercise in unreality.
I know what each of your days will contain, and I empower you accordingly.
The degree to which I strengthen you on a given day is based mainly on two variables:
the difficulty of your circumstances,
and your willingness to depend on Me for help.
Try to view challenging days as opportunities to receive more of My Power than usual.
Look at Me for all that you need, and watch to see what I will do.
AS YOUR DAY, SO SHALL YOUR STRENGTH BE!"
Ok, did Sarah Young know I would need that devotional today and specifically quote that verse . . .NO! BUT GOD . . .who knew this day would come BEFORE the foundations for the world was laid DID! He knew that this is what I needed to read today. How many others are blessed by this? Only in Heaven will Sarah know, our Lord knows now!
Let me encourage you today! God is real, He is working each minute to mature us, perfect us and grow us into who He already sees through the power of the cross! We stand perfect, holy and pure before Him, dressed in His righteousness,surrounded and enfolded in His love, grace and mercy!
REMEMBER - not matter what you find on your plate today . . .GOD IS . . .
