Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - May 15th

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

Devotional Text:

Spending time alone with Me is essential for your well-being. It is not a luxury or an option; it is a necessity. Therefore, do not feel guilty about taking time to be with Me. Remember that Satan is the accuser of believers. He delights in heaping guilt feelings upon you, especially when you are enjoying My Presence. When you feel Satan's arrows of accusation, you are probably on the right track. Use your shield of faith to protect yourself from him. Talk with Me about what you are experiencing, and ask Me to show you the way forward. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Come near to Me, and I will come near to you.

Included Scriptures:

Revelation 12:10
English Standard Version

And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.

Ephesians 6:16
English Standard Version

In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.

James 4:7-8
English Standard Version

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

God bless you!
