Devotion: To Live In My (Jesus)Presence consistently, You must expose and expel your rebellious tendencies. When something interferes with your plans or desires, you tend to resent the interference. Try to become aware of each resentment, however petty it seems. Dont push down those unpleasant feelings; instead let them come to the surface where you can deal with them. Ask My Spirit to increase your awareness of resentful feelings. Bring them boldly into the Light of My (Jesus) Presence, so that I(Jesus) can free you from them. Me: Loss we all suffer loss whether it a loss of our physical health, loss of a loved one, or simply loss of control over particular situations. It is easy to become resentful especially when you look at circumstances as losses instead of opportunities to let The Lord take over the reins of your life. Many times, my hopes and dreams have been thwarted by circumstances and I have felt those resentful, angry feelings towards others and even have gotten mad at God for allowing things to happen. What I have learned is resentment does nothing towards keeping me in perfect peace, and the thing I want more than anything is peace, joy, happiness. I really wish I had known this when I was younger and going through some of the things I went through, but I wouldnt know what I know now. On a daily basis there are things that happen, either someone says something or does something that isnt easy to accept, or my body fails when I am trying to get something done and I have to stop. It all makes me mad, then I have to consciously remember to submit those feelings I have and say Lord take this from me. Most of the time we are dealing with negative feelings when things dont go our way, or someone makes a remark or has an attitude. I have to ask the Lord to take this from me, I just cant stay in that resentful aggravated state. I have no joy, no happiness and it destroys my peace. Once I let The Lord take the feelings, my peace returns. I give my cares and resentment, and worry to Jesus. In other words I dont fight my battles anymore. There are always opportunities to lose my peace, I always have the choice to let it stay or just let it go. Pride tells me to hang on to the offense, the Lord says let it go. I decide which road to follow, it is not always an easy decision especially when I think I am right, but my peace, my joy comes from letting it go. Praise the Name of Jesus, through all circumstances I see Him working on my behalf, but always I have get out of the way. Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalms 139:23-24 KJV) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1 Peter 5:6-8 KJV) And said, Naked came I out of my mothers womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. (Job 1:21-22 KJV)
