Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - October 13th

From the devotional "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", by Sarah Young - for October 13th

Devotional Text:

Take time to be still in My Presence. The more hassled you feel, the more you need this sacred space of communion with Me. Breathe slowly and deeply. Relax in My holy Presence while My Face shines upon you. This is how you receive My Peace, which I always proffer to you.

Imagine the pain I feel when My children tie themselves up in anxious knots, ignoring My gift of Peace. I died a criminal's death to secure this blessing for you. Receive it gratefully; hide it in your heart. My Peace is an inner treasure, growing within you as you trust in Me. Therefore, circumstances cannot touch it. Be still, enjoying Peace in My Presence.

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!”

Numbers 6:25-26
English Standard Version

25 the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
