Hello, Brothers, Sisters, and Heartdwellers family.
Today, I will share with you two readings from the Daily Devotional Book, JESUS CALLING, dated February 23rd and 24th.
The first reading begins,
“BE on guard against the pit of self-pity. When you are weary or unwell, this demonic trap is the greatest danger you face. Don't even go near the edge of the pit. Its edges crumble easily…and …before you know it….you are…on…the way down. It is ever so much harder to get out of the pit than to keep a safe distance from it. That is why I tell you to be on guard
“There are several ways to protect yourself from self-pity. When you are occupied with praising and thanking Me, it is impossible to feel sorry for yourself. Also, the closer you live to me, the more distance there is between you and the pit. Live in the light of my presence by fixing your eyes on Me. Then you will be able to run with endurance the race that is set before you without stumbling or falling”.
The related Scriptures are:
Psalm 89:15
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us fixing our eyes on Jesus the author and perfector of faith who for the joy set before him endured the cross despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The second reading is “Be Still in the Light of My Presence”.
“BE STILL IN THE LIGHT of My Presence while I communicate Love to you. There is no force in the universe as powerful as my Love. You are constantly aware of limitations: your own and others’, but there is no limit to My love; it fills all space-time and eternity.
“Now, you see through a glass darkly, but someday you will see me face to face. Then you will be able to experience fully how wide and long and high and deep is my love for you. If you were to experience that now, you would be overwhelmed to the point of feeling crushed. But you have an eternity ahead of you absolutely guaranteed, during which you can enjoy My Presence in unrestricted ecstasy.
“For now, the knowledge of My loving Presence is sufficient to carry you through each day.”
The related Scriptures are:
1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then I shall know even as also I am known.
Ephesians 3:16-19
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Amen.
That was the end of the messages.
