Morning Devotion for March 18

As we keep our eyes on the future, trusting God's faithfulness, elder Dee West shared this reading and verses:

from Jesus Always, Embracing Joy in HIs Presence by Sarah Young.

"DO NOT DWELL ON THE PAST, beloved. You can learn from the past, but don’t let it become your focus. You cannot undo things that have already occurred, no matter how much you may yearn to do so. Instead of wishing for the impossible, come to Me and pour out your heart. Remember that I am your Refuge; trust in Me at all times.

Reinforce you confidence in Me by saying frequently:”I trust You, Jesus.” Uttering those four words can brighten your day immediately. Dark clouds of worry are blown away by simple, childlike trust.

I am doing a new thing! Be on the lookout for all that I am accomplishing in your life. Ask Me to open the eyes of your mind and heart so you can see the many opportunities I’ve placed along your path. Don’t fall into such a routine that you see only the same old things — and miss the newness. Remember that I can make a way where there appears to be no way. With Me all things are possible!”

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.” ISAIAH 43: 18-19

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour our your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. PSALM 62:8

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” MATTHEW 19:26

Trusting God's new thing with you,
Laurie
