Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - July 22nd

From the devotional "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", by Sarah Young - for July 22nd

Devotional Text:

Find freedom through seeking to please Me above all else. You can have only one Master. When you let others' expectations drive you, you scatter your energy to the winds. Your own desire to look good can also drain your energy. I am your Master, and I do not drive you to be what you are not. Your pretense displeases Me, especially when it is in My "service." Concentrate on staying close to Me at all times. It is impossible to be inauthentic while you are focusing on My Presence.

Included Scriptures:

Ephesians 5:8-10
English Standard Version

8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10 and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.

Matthew 23:8
English Standard Version

But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers.

Matthew 6:1
English Standard Version

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven."

God bless you!
