TRUST ME in the Depths of Your Being

Day 209 of Photo Inspirations — TRUST ME in the Depths of Your Being!
“I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight…..” Isaiah 45:2  That was the scripture that came to me, on two separate occasions, in the last two days.  Coincidentally, two of my friends, on the same day, shared with me that their world was in a state of chaos and that they needed clarity on some very important decisions they were making.  As I prayed with each one, individually, those words in that scripture from Isaiah came to me…..that He would make the crooked places straight in our lives.  And, in return He asks that we TRUST HIM.

Yesterday morning, I opened up my “Jesus Calling” devotional and read that day’s message.  I knew, emphatically, that those were words I needed to hear — as well as my friends.  Perhaps these are words for you to hear too!  Just maybe, by happenstance, you saw my post pop up on your Facebook page.  And just maybe it was perfectly orchestrated by God to help you through this day, making those difficult decisions with God’s peace abiding in you.  Perhaps, these words will be the difference-maker in situations you are dealing with today.  I sure hope so.  

July 31st —
“TRUST ME in the depths of your being.  It is there that I live in constant communion with you.  When you feel flustered and frazzled on the outside, do not get upset with yourself.  You are only human, and the swirl of events going on all around you will sometimes feel overwhelming  Rather than scolding yourself for your humanness, remind yourself that I am both with you AND within you.

I am with you at ALL times,  encouraging and supportive rather than condemning.  I know that deep within you, where I live, My Peace is your continual experience.  Slow down your pace of living for a time.  Quiet your mind in My Presence.  Then you will be able to hear Me bestowing the resurrection blessing:  Peace be with you.”

My favorite words in that devotional were:  “I am both with you AND within you.”  Imagine that — the God of the universe is not only hanging out with us — He is smack dab right inside of us.  With all that knowledge; with all that power; with all that ability; with all that peace and love — how can we possibly make the wrong decision?  How can we NOT be successful.  Let Him make the crooked places straight in your life today, and start with receiving His resurrection blessing of knowing His peace IS with us.
