Encouragment for this 'Adventure of a Day'

Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence

Today's devotional from Jesus Calling by, Sarah Young seems rather fitting for all that today entails...
"Try to view each day as an adventure, carefully planned out by your Guide. Instead of staring into the day that is ahead of you, attempting to program it according to your will, be attentive to Me and to all I have prepared for you. Thank Me for this day of life, recognizing that it is a precious, unrepeatable gift. Trust that I am with you each moment, whether you sense my Presence of not. A thankful, trusting attitude helps you to see events in your life from My perspective.
A life lived close to Me will never be dull or predictable. Except each day to contain surprises! Resist your tendency to search for the easiest route through the day. Be willing to follow wherever I lead. NO matter how steep or treacherous the path before you, the safest place to be is by my side."
Psalm 118:24;1 Peter 2:21
Today is nothing sort of an adventure...it is precious and an unrepeatable gift!  We praise God that He already knows the outcome of today, that none of it will be a surprise to Him and are grateful that we are in the safest place we can possibly be...simply by His side.
Thank you for your prayers this morning and today...we will be sure to keep you posted with as many details about today's 'adventure' as possible. My mom sent an email this morning sharing her peace, readiness, confidence and ultimate hope...already an answer to prayer!
May your day be blessed!
