Celebrating His Presence

Below is from the Book 40 Days with Jesus Celebrating His Presence by Sarah Young.

I wanted to share this with you this morning. Please enjoy.

I AM THE RISEN ONE who shines upon you always. You worship a living Deity, not some idolatrous, man-made image. Your relationship with Me is meant to be vibrant and challenging, as I invade more and more areas of your life. Do not fear change, for I am making you a new creation, with old things passing away and new things continually on the horizon. When you cling to old ways and sameness, you resist My work within you. I want you to embrace all that I am doing in your life, finding your security in Me alone.

It is easy to make an idol of routine, finding security within the boundaries you build around your life. Although each day contains twenty-four hours, every single one presents a unique set of circumstances. Don't try to force-fit today into yesterday's mold. Instead, ask Me to open your eyes, so you can find all I have prepared for you in this precious day of Life.

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples. 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." Matthew 28:5-7

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17

I pray this has blessed you. Embrace this day and allow God to have His way in you. It is God who is working in the midst, even though you may not feel His presence. To God be the Glory for what He is doing. Can you trust God even when you can't see the outcome? Can you trust Him enough to do things differently to acheive different results?

"I would rather walk in uncertainty and trust God than to walk in the security of routine that I have created for my life and miss the divine destiny for which I was created." - Alisa Moore
