JESUS IS CALLING

 

 

TRUST ME IN ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. I know that some thoughts are unconscious or semiconscious, and I do not hold you responsible for those. But you can direct conscious thoughts much more than you may realize. Practice thinking in certain ways-trusting Me, thanking Me- and those thoughts become more natural. Reject negative or sinful thoughts as soon as you become aware of them. Don’t try to hide them from Me; confess them and leave them with Me. Go on your way lightheartedly. This method of controlling your thoughts will keep your mind in My Presence and your feet on the path of Peace.

 

Psalm 20:7; 1 John 1:9; Luke 1:79

 

 

WHEN YOU SEEK MY FACE, put aside thoughts of everything else. I am above all, as well as in all; your communion with Me transcends both time and circumstances. Be prepared to be blessed bountifully by My Presence, for I am a God of unlimited abundance. Open wide your heart and mind to receive more and more of Me. When your Joy in Me meets My Joy in you, there are fireworks of heavenly ecstasy. This is eternal life here and now: a tiny foretaste of what awaits you in the life to come. Now you see only a poor reflection as in a mirror, but then you will see face to Face.

 

John 15:11; 1 Corinthians 13:12

 

 

 

Basket people

Basket people.

A boy gave his lunch to Jesus and He used it to feed five thousand people. Afterward, "They took up twelve baskets full of the fragments." Basket people find a need greater than their own and say, "Lord, here's what I have; take it, bless it and use it." What a contrast this boy was to the disciples. Notice: (1) They tried to escape the problem. "Send them away, that they may go and buy themselves bread" (v.36).


Your faith only grows by facing your problems and looking to God for answers. Indeed, when you solve the problem you position yourself to receive what God has in store for you next. (2) They didn't know what they had. Jesus said, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see" (v. 38). Moses had a rod, but it parted the Red Sea. David had a slingshot, but it brought down a giant. You may not know it, but God has given you the answer.


He's given you something capable of multiplying once you put it into His hands. The key is, "Go and see." (3) They despised the day of small things. "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?" (John 6:9). Instead of looking at your lack, look at God's abundance and His willingness to work on your behalf. "Do not despise this small beginning, for the eyes of the Lord rejoice to see the work begin"(Zech. 4:10). Factor God into the equation. The formula for success is you - plus God!

LET MY LOVE STREAM THROUGH YOU

LET MY LOVE STREAM THROUGH YOU, washing away fear and distrust. A trusting response includes Me in your thoughts as you consider strategies to deal with a situation. My continual Presence is a promise, guaranteeing that you never have to face anything alone. My children teethe on the truth that I am always with them, yet they stumble around in a stupor, unaware of my loving Presence all around them. How that grieves Me!

When you walk through a day in trusting dependence on Me, My aching heart is soothed. Gently bring your attention back to Me whenever it wanders away. I look for persistence-rather than perfection- in your walk with Me.

Psalm 52:8; Deuteronomy 31:6; Ephesians 4:30
