Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - January 26th

From the devotional "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", by Sarah Young - for January 26th

Devotional Text:

Give up the illusion that you deserve a problem-free life. Part of you is still hungering for the resolution of all difficulties. This is a false hope! As I told My disciples, in the world you will have trouble. Link your hope not to problem solving in this life but to the promise of an eternity of problem-free life in heaven. Instead of seeking perfection in this fallen world, pour your energy into seeking Me: the Perfect One.
It is possible to enjoy Me and glorify Me in the mist of adverse circumstances. In fact, My Light shines most brightly through believers who trust Me in the dark. That kind of trust is supernatural: a production of My indwelling Spirit. When things seem all wrong, trust Me anyway. I am much less interested in right circumstances than in right responses to whatever comes your way.

Included Scriptures:

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.

Psalm 112:4,7
English Standard Version

4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
7 He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

Be blessed! Go with God!
