Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace In His PresenceSample

Depending on Him

YOUR AWARENESS OF YOUR DEEP NEED FOR ME IS A PROFOUND STRENGTH. People who think they don’t need Me are in serious trouble, because they rely on their own insufficient abilities. I am training you to depend on Me—your Strength.

Living in a fallen world can weigh you down. However, as you keep looking to Me, I make your feet like the feet of a deer. I lighten your load so much that you hardly notice the jagged rocks beneath your feet or the steepness of your ascent. Before you know it, you are on the high places—with Me!

You need to remember that I am Sovereign. I will not help you go along a path that is not My choice for you. So it’s vital to commit your way to Me, asking Me to lead you each step of the way. This is how you collaborate with Me as I enable you to go on the heights.
