Cup of Faith - Day 4


Scriptures of the Day

Psalm 5:11 - But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

Ephesians 3:20-21 - Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Jude 24-25 - To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Joshua 1:5 - No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Devotion of the Day

Today's devotion is from Sarah Young's book "Jesus Calling". 
 
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 your 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.


FOCUS POINTS FOR TODAY –

Question – What are you afraid of? In the middle of the night what wakes you up in panic?  Tell God about your deepest fears. Thank Him for never leaving you and walking with you when you are fearful.

Action – Evidence of God is all around us – a beautiful flower, a kind stranger at the store, the love of friend sending a message…Keep your eyes open today to see God around you.
