Getting Through the Day - Sarah Young

Let Me help you get through this day.

There are many possible paths to travel between your getting up in the morning and your lying down at night.

Stay alert to the  many choices along the way, being continually aware of My Presence.

You will get through this day one way or the other.

One way is to moan and groan, stumbling along with shuffling feet.

This will get you to the end of the day eventually, but there is a better way.

You can choose to walk with Me along the path of Peace, leaning on Me as much as you need.

There will still be difficulties along the way, but you can face them confidently in My strength.

Thank Me for each problem you encounter, and watch to see how I transform trials into blessings.

                     -- From Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young

...to guide our feet into the path of peace.

     Luke 1:79

What is impossible? - Sarah Young

It is impossible to praise or thank Me too much.

As it is written: I inhabit the praises of My people.

Sometimes your adoration is a spontaneous overflow of Joy, in response to radiant beauty or rich blessings.

At other times your praise is more disciplined and measured --- an act of your will.

I dwell equally in both types of praise.

Thankfulness, also, is a royal road to draw near Me.

A thankful heart has plenty of room for Me.

When you thank Me for the many pleasures I provide, you affirm that I am God, from whom all blessings flow.

When adversity strikes and you thank Me anyway, your trust in My sovereignty is a show-piece in invisible realms.

Fill up the spare moments of your life with praise and thanksgiving.

This joyous discipline will help you live in the intimacy of My Presence.

Praise the LORD, O my soul,

I will praise the LORD all my life;

I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Psalm 146:1-2

Give thanks in all circumstances,

For this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
