Beautiful Reminder that I am not in Control

My devotional this morning. .  . perfect for women.
 Devotional:  Jesus Calling by Sarah Young


I am the FIRM FOUNDATION on which you can dance and sing and celebrate My Presence.  This is My high and holy calling for you; receive it as a precious gift.  Glorifying and enjoying Me is a higher priority than maintaining a tidy, structured life.  Give up our striving to keep everything under control-- an impossible task and a waste of precious energy.
My guidance for each of My children is unique.  That's why listening to Me is so vital for your well being.  Let me prepare you for the day that awaits you and point you in the right direction.  I am with you continually, so don't be intimidated by fear.  Though it stalks you, it cannot harm you, as long as you cling to My hand.  Keep your eyes on Me, enjoying Peace in My Presence.


Psalm 5:11
Ephesians 3:20-21
Jude 24-25
Joshua 1:5




I feel like as women, we constantly strive for perfection and it consumes most of our time.  Every morning, we're taught to make a to do list and to do whatever we must to check everything off by the end of the night.  We strive for the perfect life, husband, house and we work ourselves to death to be a perfect daughter, wife and mother.  But are we setting our eyes on what God wants and desires for us, or are we looking to what the world asks of us and trying to achieve something that cannot be done and that we, really get very little satisfaction from anyways.  Today, I promise to set my eyes on my Heavenly Father and live today for Him.  I will constantly look to Him to show me what I need to do and how I need to handle the "worldly" stresses that enter my day.
