Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - November 15th

From the devotional "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", by Sarah Young - for November 15th

Devotional Text:

Approach problems with a light touch. When your mind moves toward a problem area, you tend to focus on that situation so intensely that you lose sight of Me. You pit yourself against the difficulty as if you had to conquer it immediately. Your mind gears up for battle, and your body becomes tense and anxious. Unless you achieve total victory, you feel defeated.

There is a better way. When a problem starts to overshadow your thoughts, bring this matter to Me. Talk with Me about it and look at it in the Light of My Presence. This puts some much-needed space between you and your concern, enabling you to see from My perspective. You will be surprised at the results. Sometimes you may even laugh at yourself for being so serious about something so insignificant.

You will always face trouble in this life. But more importantly, you will always have Me with you, helping you to handle whatever you encounter. Approach problems with a light touch by viewing them in My revealing light.

Included Scriptures:

Psalm 89:15
English Standard Version
Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face

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."

God bless you!
