Jesus Calling

Good morning.    It’s that time of year when many homeschooling families are thinking about next school year and looking to the future.  Sometimes I get caught up wanting to see the whole picture to help me plan for right now, but usually it just distracts me from the present.  This morning I read the devotional passage in Jesus Calling by Sarah Young for Februay 26.  I think it’s worth sharing:

I am leading you, step by step, through your life.  Hold My hand in trusting dependence, letting Me guide you through this day.  Your future looks uncertain and feels flimsy – even precarious.  That is how it should be. Secret things belong to the Lord, and future things are secret things.  When you try to figure out the future, you are grasping at things that are Mine.  This, like all forms of worry, is an act of rebellion: doubting My promises to care for you.

Whenever you find yourself worrying about the future, repent and return to Me.  I will show you the next step forward, and the one after that, and the one after that.  Relax and enjoy the journey in My Presence, trusting Me to open up the way before you as you go.

Blessing for your journey,

Jennifer
