Jesus Calling

                                                    
Good afternoon!  A very kind, godly woman gave me this devotional book (Author Sarah Young) or Christmas and I just started reading it yesterday and I strongly recommend it to any one seeking a deeper spiritual, intimate connection with God.  The entries are very short and are meant to be read slowly, in a quiet place to give the Holy Spirit a chance to speak.  She encourages you to have a journal and pen on hand as you're sitting quietly and expectantly.  I've also found that at some point during my time with God, sometimes before I sit and listen for His voice, I like to look up the scriptures at the bottom of the entry, read them in context, and meditate on the truth in them.  She italicizes the scriptural references within the entry to make it easy to identify her interpretation and what the bible actually says.  This book is designed to help you experience and enjoy Jesus' PRESENCE and PEACE.  How perfect, because that is exactly what I need right now!  I'll be posting my thoughts, revelations, & applications & I'd love to hear how God spoke to you through the scriptures each day!
