Jesus Calling: April 28

As you look into the day that stretches out before you, you see many choice-points along the way. The myriad possibilities these choices present can confuse you. Draw your mind back to the threshold of this day, where I stand beside you, lovingly preparing you for what is ahead.
You must make your choices one at a time, since each is contingent upon the decision that precedes it. Instead of trying to create a mental map of your path through this day, focus on My loving Presence with you. I will equip you as you go, so that you can handle whatever comes your way. Trust Me to supply what you need when you need it.

Lamentations 3:22-26
English Standard Version

²²The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
    his mercies never come to an end;
²³they are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
²⁴“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
    “therefore I will hope in him.”

²⁵The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
²⁶It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.

Verse Thoughts
Lamentations is called the book of mourning. The verses quoted here come to us in the midst of darkness.

Psalm 34:8
New King James Version

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;

Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

My Prayer

Remind me Lord not to look too far ahead, but to trust you with each of my decisions. You will take care of my situations, in your way, by Your sovereign hand. Teach me to walk with you and trust you each day, each minute, each decision.

This is for me one of the hardest things to do. I am a micromanager. I try to figure out everything before it happens so that I'm prepared. Which I never am I'm caught off guard and then I'm devastated. I drive myself crazy along with those around me. This has been one of my prayers for a long time.

The last two weeks of readings have been so appropriate and timely for me. Thanks for sharing as I do a lot of my morning quiet time on my phone even if I have a paper copy.

I had actually just finished reading Jeremiah for the first time and loved seeing God's mercy in the midst of the warnings. I toyed with reading Lamentations next. I think this helped me finalize that decision.

'Great is Your Faithfulness oh Lord, morning by morning new mercies I see, all I have needed Your hands have certainly provided'!
Thank You dear Lord for this beautiful day. A day in which Your saints (saved by grace) will gather in various places of worship this morning to hear from You through Your words, feed on it, and prayerfully leave filled with knowledge and understanding to Your Glory. Thank You for this blessed opportunity and privilege we have to be in a country where we can worship You without fear! We pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in other parts of the world that can't. Thank You for being their refuge and strength in Jesus name!

Our Lord, You urge us to look into this day that stretches before us with many choice points. Please help us through the power of Your Holy Spirit, to make the right choices, because when we do, You promised to equip us to handle whatever comes our way!

On This last Sunday of this Resurrection month, Father we thank You for the memories and Celebration of the 'True Event' that took place and the blessed joy in knowing that Salvation is ours! As we go through this life, we trust You to supply all of our needs. Instead of worry, fear or doubt, may we lean Not on our own understanding, but acknowledge You so that You can direct our steps and keep our eyes fixed on You! Thank You Lord.
I Glorify Your Holy name this morning and THANK YOU for my JC family! I thank You for everyone who come on this blog to acknowledge You, hear from You via the devotion and Boldly share and lift up their prayers. Thank You that we can pray for each other, encourage each other, glorify You, thank You and Trust that You have our 'backs'.
I cover each one and their families in the Precious blood of Jesus today. May the Blood and name of Jesus fight all of our seen and unseen battles and elevate us to a greater anointing and power that will break every yoke and destroy the kingdom of darkness over our lives, in Jesus name! We give You Thanks!
Father, I declare that everyone here will speak positive words of faith and victory over themselves,their families and future. We will NOT use our words to describe our situation, but will use YOUR words to change it. We call in Favor, Good Breaks, Healing, Salvation for our love ones and Restoration! We will NOT talk to God about how big our problems are, we will tell our problems how BIG our GOD is!! I seal this prayer/declaration in the Blood of Jesus! Thank You Lord, Amen!

Stay Blessed and Highly favored, JC family!

What a blessing to read yesterday's and today's JC before I have even used my voice today. My Father knows that I can do enough damage with just my thinking, so to not have even confessed verbally any negativity today is a blessing. All of you warm my heart with your gracious prayers and desire to care and pray. My husband is still sick and I find myself just puttering around the house waiting on him to get up, to feel better, to be himself again. I'm trying to purge the excess in our home, starting with my little office and I've only made more of a mess. I barely have room to put my hands on the keys of this computer. But, I have hope and prayer and belief that today, things will turn around. I can only control what I choose to do, so I am committing to that right now. One step at a time, one bag of junk at a time. I will insist on only positive words or keep my mouth shut! Renew my heart, Lord, renew my conviction to be the best wife for my dear husband. Praying for my loved ones, including my JC Family. And, Anonymous! Congrats on Day 18, today!!

Lord help me to just stop making my own plans everyday and deciding whether a day is successful or not based on whether I did what I planned to do. Help me to understand your truth that there is a day that can be made out for me by the Holy Spirit and it is such a much better path. help me to dump my feelings plans and responses in this world and replace them with your Holy Spirit. As if I were riding a Wild Mustang in the open range only being guided by his free spirit.

Thank you for prayers (This was my post on Friday’s but I made post this morning)Jesus Calling... I’m from NC this morning I am reading really late and decided to read the prayers from yesterday (I read EVERY morning) usually I am reading prayers in the evening but I didn’t last night because I was praying long for my 21 year old daughter who suffers from depression and possibly stomach ulcers / anxiety. And my 23 yr old daughter both girls true miracles. My oldest girl came 6 wks early and doctors told us she would not make it through the day, if she did they knew she would have mental and physical conditions for life. Before having her my husband and I lost five children it was only after much research that a researcher found I have an autoimmune disorder that causes my body to extinguish anything foreign in my system. My youngest daughter we had after loosing yet another child, only this time a set of twins that we had lost at our first daughters First birthday party. This daughter we were highly recommended to abort the specialists knew she was down syndrome and possibly be accompanied by physical problems. We chose not to abort, after all God had already sent for seven of the children at this point we just thought if he wants her he would take her at his time not the doctors choosing.
BOTH girls extremely healthy, BOTH honor students all through school (well until middle of college for each) BOTH played every sport offered in our region and BOTH top players at each of their game. Most IMPORTANTLY each gave their heart to God at young ages and loved the Lord their God with all their hearts BOTH until around the end of their freshman yr in college. The younger frustrated at the older when she would come home and ask “why are you acting like this you are a follower of God, you better straighten up” and would pray for her. Yet she fell in the same pit. Please pray for these child God has entrusted my husband and I to raise. I feel like such a failure to them and my Lord. Our girls listen to the most disgusting foul worded lyrics ( I don’t refer to it as music). They used to live to get to church and they were BOTH proponents to bringing a youth ensemble band to our congregation BOTH have played at Carnegie Hall one of them TWICE. Now we have to beg them to come to church, each Sunday I’m looking over my right shoulder every five seconds praying they come.
Please pray for them to look to Christ for guidance and pray they have a desire to serve and love our living God who loves them unconditionally and pray this Momma who is 50 will ONLY SAY words to them that he places on my tongue and my husband too. Thank you for your prayers, btw this request is from runaprilmae... April Mae

Someone Shared This With Me And I Thought It Is So Worth Sharing As Food For Thought!

“Think, if you had a basketball in your hand, it’s probably worth maybe 10.00 dollars.
But you put it in the hands of LeBron James, it’s worth 34-40 million dollars.
YOU SEE, IT DEPENDS ON WHOSE HAND IT’S IN.
If you had a football in your hand, it’s worth maybe 10-11 dollars.
But you put it in the hands of Peyton Manny, it’s worth 50-60 mil.
YOU SEE, IT DEPENDS ON WHOSE HAND IT’S IN.
If you had a golf club in your hand, it’s probably worth 50 bucks maybe.
But you put it in the hands of Tiger Woods, it’s worth 80 million.
YOU SEE, IT DEPENDS ON WHOSE HAND IT’S IN.
If you had a stick or rod in your hand, you might use it to beat a wild animal or something,
But you put it in the hands of Moses, it parts the red sea.
YOU SEE, IT DEPENDS ON WHOSE HAND IT’S IN.
If you had a sling shot in your hand, it becomes like a kid’s toy.
But you put it in the hands of King David, he slayed a giant with it.
YOU SEE, IT DEPENDS ON WHOSE HAND IT’S IN.
If you had in your hand 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread, you’ll feed yourself and with a little bread left over.
But you put it in the hands of JESUS, and it feeds 5 thousand (called: "miracle of the five loaves and two fishes")
YOU SEE, IT DEPENDS ON WHOSE HAND IT’S IN.
If you had a couple of nails in your hands, you can probably build a bird house, nail down a piece of wood.
But if you put the same nails in the hands of Jesus,it leads to SALVATION and to ETERNAL LIFE, for folks who love Him and trust Him.
YOU SEE, IT DEPENDS ON WHOSE HAND IT’S IN.
But your worries and your cares and the things that got you stressed out, if you leave it in your hands, that’s all it’s ever going to be.
YOU SEE, IT DEPENDS ON WHOSE HAND IT’S IN.
But if you put those same worries, cares and problems in the hands of CHRIST, He’s going to see you through it. He’s going to take care of your every need.
Have a bless day, but remember, it DEPENDS ON WHOSE HAND IT’S IN.
Give everything you got to JESUS and let Him take care of it for you.”

Heavenly Father, We thank You that Your truth dwells in the atmosphere of worship. We worship You in the splendor of Your holiness. Please help us to make the conscious choice of trusting You at all times and in all circumstances, casting all of our cares into the Hands of JESUS and stay focused on Your loving Presence. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Thank you, Lord, for providing mercies that are new every morning, for your faithfulness to bless us, sustain us and all we have to do is wait and trust and then apply what you put before us.
I enjoyed your sharing, as always, Maplewood and your reminder, Sassy Mom of Sarah's quote that we are equipped as we go...so many promises and yet, on some days, I still doubt.
Really enjoyed your sharing yesterday, Bob and while I think as a 'seasoned believer,' I am in stage 3 my prayers often sound solidly like a stage 2 child looking for only what's in it for me! UGH! It was interesting to think about and it is always my prayer to grow and continue to learn, for otherwise we are most likely 6' under, awaiting the Return.
MadFox, your dear RN daughter remains in my prayers. How hard it must be to be so far away from her during this time. But, what a blessing to see the fruit of your labor as she obviously clings to the teachings of you and your wife. Always a parent's prayer.
Our off-spring have continued to show more ready hearts to listen and believe since my sister-in-law's passing. There is a tenderness in my oldest's tone that gives me hope.
I have to laugh when I read some of my earlier posts and realize that I am still shoveling out the little office, getting rid of excess and trying to get it all 'right' in our home. COLORADO JC Friend - I wish you lived closer too! :) It proves to me (again), that we never truly "arrive," but are always striving to be better. Again, the day I stop doing that, I won't be drawing breath. But, I do have to say that my prayers have shifted to a more moment-by-moment walk: "You must make your choices one at a time, since each is contingent upon the decision that precedes it. Instead of trying to create a mental map of your path through this day, focus on My loving Presence with you. I will equip you as you go, so that you can handle whatever comes your way. Trust Me to supply what you need when you need it." I will keep reminding myself of these words all throughout the day, today. I've gone from peacefulness, reading all of these posts to the endless questions I ask God: When will I have to go back to the office? Wonder if...What if...Maybe if.... WOW, He must shake his Heavenly Head at me somedays! But, I know as a loving Father, He instead nudges me to just to the next thing. Leave those things up to Me!
I am praying for 'runaprilmae,' as I re-read her post from last year. Wondering if there are any changes in your daughters? What a steadfast woman of God you are. As someone said recently, we will all have SO MUCH catching up to do at the Gathering! Each of you are priceless to me and I'm thankful.
Enjoy this lovely spring day, JC Family...one step at a time. I'm praying for all of you.

TUESDAY OF THE THIRD WEEK OF EASTER

(John 6:30-35) (John's perspective) We left off yesterday with the people wanting to know what they should do (human nature is always so preoccupied with doing something). Jesus response was 'believe' which contains the sense of loving/embracing. The people are trying to get their head around Jesus; Jesus is calling for their heart to be wrapped around Him. The discussion continues. The people are reluctant to take a leap of faith before they have validation of who Jesus is. So they want a convincing sign before they are willing to do as He said, 'believe' (apparently they had forgotten the feeding of the 5000 which had occurred yesterday). Reference is made to Moses whom they say, 'gave us manna in the wilderness' as a sign of his authority. Jesus clarifies their thinking, "It wasn't Moses who gave you the manna, it came from the Father who gives the true bread from heaven. For this bread God will give will sustain life forever." Much like the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4), the natural human response is 'give us this bread always'. The desire behind this response is to want it easy so 'if there is a way to avoid making bread everyday, please do that for us'. (It was the same for the Samaritan woman who responded to Jesus offer of water gushing up to eternal life, "Give me this water so I don't have to walk all the way here to this well everyday to get water.) Jesus responds to this request for 'easy bread' identifying Himself as the bread for which they are looking. In Him they will never be hungry or thirsty. Jesus is talking to them spiritually using physical metaphors to bring home His point which is in Him, they will be totally satisfied for all eternity. To be continued...

(My thoughts) In yesterday's post, I quoted from Bernard of Clairvaux who taught that the development of faith occurs in stages. The second stage is one in which we believe for the benefits. That is seen in this passage and in the story of the Samaritan woman at the well. They are interested in what Jesus has to offer if He can make like easier for them. Believing in Jesus is no guarantee that living life will get easier, quite to the contrary, it may get a whole lot harder as it did for the disciples. But it will get easier in terms of now following the right path in life through obedience to His will. Many things that make life difficult are brought on by our efforts to go our own way. When we let Him lead, as the JC readings call us to, we are choosing to go with the flow which is always easier. Now the flow may take us into 'white water' situations but He has navigated these waters Himself and like a good guide, He makes sure all survive. When everything is completed, we will be richly blessed for we will have had the ride of our life through His 'will be done'.

Strap yourself in (wrap around your heart the truths of scripture found in the JC readings), this is going to be a great ride that will require some work (obedience) on your part. With love, Bob

I just made a quick tally of the regular signed posters in this blog. There are at least 20 and more Anonymous and Unknown, each with a unique personality that we are coming to know. Each has a unique set of concerns and praises we are lifting up to the Lord. Who knows how many others there are that are "silently" involved. How wonderful that our God has each one under his wings and is marking a path for each to follow.
God bless you Chris for your diligence in copying Sarah's interpretation of "Jesus Calling" plus Bible references written out. And then when it was evident some followers were having a time with search results to find the blog, you created and posted an index for the whole year. (No small undertaking)
And, to the ones God has given special talent with words to encourage and enlighten, Bless You and thank God for your sharing. (Not to minimize the efforts of those of us with lesser talents who still try occasionally.) God hears us all and responds appropriately to each one. Lord help us to hear and heed your response.
Not sure where I'm going with all this except to acknowledge appreciation for the input of each one to help us remember we are all on our trek toward our final Hope for eternity. Each one with a unique path but focused on the same goal.

Today’s Devotion is an exact fit for me: As you look into the day (and the highway) that stretches out before you, see Me beside you, lovingly preparing you for what is ahead. Focus on My loving Presence with you. I will equip you as you go, so that you can handle whatever comes your way. Trust Me to supply what you need when you need it.

Today I will leave home about 5 AM to drive about 2 hours to my brother’s house to get him dressed, fed and drive him to the Hospital appointment for his Eligard Injection. The drive allows me ample opportunity to pray to God for him, all of you and to sing 😊 Because I’m living on a Loving Almighty God’s Promises, His Victories, Music, and your prayers, I appreciate all who are praying for my brother, Keith, Divine Healing, and the injection’s efficacy, with few or no side effects.

“You will seek the Lord your God and you will find Him, if you search after Him with all your heart and with all your soul” (Deuteronomy 4:29).

The Psalmist said: It’s a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises unto His name (Psalm 92:1). Yes, it is indeed good to give Thanks to You oh Lord, You are Most High, Your Presence is real, You are full of Love and completely Transformational. Your Presence takes away what’s broken and brings me healing. Your Presence satisfy my weary heart and brings light into the darkest areas of my life. Your Presence pours out refreshing rain of Your love on the deepest parts of my soul. Someone once said Your Presence feels like “Liquid Love”, and I agree because of the lightness of Joy it brings to the heart longing for You. Knowing that You are always ever so present, gives me strength to face any difficult day. I know that through the death of Christ Jesus, there is nothing separating me from You. Your promise to be in Your children’s midst again, was fulfilled with the coming of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
For me there is no life-giving pursuit I can embark on than the pursuit of Your Presence, so this morning I come with an open heart and mind to the truth about Your nearness, allowing my faith to be stirred for all the many ways You would transform my life through encounters with You.
Thank You for granting me life in this new day, thank You for being my mom’s refuge and strength through her struggles and keeping her safe, thank You for granting her favor and blessings in the coming days, thank You being Lord of our lives, thank You for meeting all of our needs because You know every single one of them, and thank You for being God Omnipresent through the peace, joy, security and protection Your Presence brings to me. In Jesus' name, amen.

“Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, You are there!”(Psalm 139:7:8).

“God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], A very present and well-proved help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1 -amp.).

Continuing in prayer for ALL the sick, those in need of other blessings and answers to prayers. God remains faithful, keep trusting in Him!

Blessings and Peace.

Once again, Maplewood, such wonderful insight. You always give me and the others things to meditate on throughout our day. Thank you. And may your mom feel God's continuing protection and love that surrounds her.

Update: My friend, Jamie, who had the CT scan Monday...while there seems to be another encapsulated tumor (which means it doesn't spread) is there but Jamie said she has a calmness about her knowing God will, once again, bring her thru this and will shrink this to nothing so she won't have to have yet another surgery. I admire her steadfastness and trust in our Lord. Thank you all for your prayers! May you all feel God's presence throughout your Wednesday! In Jesus's name, Amen.

Praying over you for all your needs and intentions. May they all be filled as you walk through the day focused on His presence.
I know I need a constant reminder of this as there are so many things swirling around the place I am in right now. Lots going on with health stuff, retirement, my marriage, And I’m marrying my stepdaughter this weekend. All the while, the evil one is putting lies and deceptions in my mind. It’s a daily battle, and like today’s devotional says, I need to trust and hold one, one issue, one moment, one day at a time, knowing His mercies are new each morning. It ain’t easy, but I know that my God is an awesome God! Shalom 🙏

Praying for each of us - for all of us, as we wrap up this month, knowing that our loving Heavenly Father will give us all we need, just in time. Please pray for my DH. He went to the Podiatrist yesterday and the Dr. cut the pad of his foot while working on a callous. I wanted to change the bandage last night, but didn't have the supplies. Keep his healthy, Father, please make sure nothing goes wrong. Prayers for each of you, this fine day. He has supplied all we need, just in time. Love and Blessings to each of you!

I love the Spirit of Julieanne (April 27) and Maplewood (April 28 ) when they said to stop telling God how big our problems are, but instead to tell our problems how Big and Great Our God Is!!! HALLELUJAH!!!
I just Declare our God's Great Blessings and Abundance will chase
down this JCFAMILY day and night. HE will give you beauty for ashes and a Garment of Praise instead of spirit of despair!!! In Jesus's precious name I Pray and Believe, AMEN and AMEN

So much to do this weekend and I am happy God is aware of everything. Going to my Mom's this morning and I pray I can help her with her errands and get Bible work done and make a nice Birthday dinner and cake for my middle son on Sunday. We have our family coming over. I'm grateful to be spending time with them. It will be a blessing to watch three of our grandbabies playing together. Great devotion today. Grabbed this:
"I will equip you as you go, so that you can handle whatever comes your way. Trust Me to supply what you need when you need it."
I sure am trusting Him. I know all will go well because He is in charge and He empowers and strengthens me. His Spirit is my helper so I'm well equipped. May we all receive answers to our prayers because we serve a faithful God.
Please pray for my dear friend Scott who had been in remission from colon cancer but just received bad news that it's slowly coming back. He is having a pet scan on May 8th. I thank God that He is already healing him and destroying every bad cell and replacing it with healthy tissue. May his pet scan be clear and God be glorified. Thank You Jesus.
Proverbs 4:20-22
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Psalm 41:2-3
The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

Psalm 147:3
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

Jeremiah 17:14
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise

The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him. (Nahum 1:7).

Praying all who read this Jesus Calling blog will experience Him today at work in your life and the lives of your loved ones, for His Glory and the good of His saints.
Part of Isaiah 2:3 “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.”

Psalm 46:1-3
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging."

Psalms 121:1-2 (MSG)
I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from GOD, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.

Psalm 121
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all harm
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

Asking for prayers dear warriors. Gallbladder attack was very bad yesterday. Spent a very restless night as the pain was relentless. Hubby was great at taking care of me. Hoping for a better day today. The scriptures that Jeanne & Janet shared will be my sustenance as I continue to recover. Brother Peter this song fits the bill. Thank you.
