Jesus Calling: January 21

I want you to be all Mine. I am weaning you from other dependencies. Your security rests in Me alone--and not in other people, not in circumstances. Depending only on Me may feel like walking on a tightrope, but there is a safety net underneath: the everlasting arms. So don't be afraid of falling. Instead, look ahead to Me. I am always before you, beckoning you on--one step at a time. Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, can separate you from My loving presence.

Deuteronomy 33:27
English Standard Version
The eternal God is your dwelling place,
and underneath are the everlasting arms.
And he thrust out the enemy before you
and said, ‘Destroy.’

Romans 8:39
English Standard Version
nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

My Prayer
Lord, I haven't much strength at the moment, so this should remind that You are my strength. I seemed to have picked up a sickness bug. So, in these moments, use this time to help me depend on You even more. It's in this weakness that I can see more clearly my need for You. As these words state, my security is in You.

You are Power. You have everlasting arms. The enemy is not over You, but is under Your power. You keep me safe in your everlasting arms. (Reminds me of "Rest in Your Arms" by the Imperials).
