Jesus Calling - December 16th, 2024

Jesus Calling: December 16th

I am speaking in the depths of your being. Be still, so that you can hear My voice. I speak in the language of Love; My words fill you with Life and Peace, Joy and Hope. I desire to talk with all of My children, but many are too busy to listen. The "work ethic" has them tied up in knots. They submit wholeheartedly to this taskmaster, wondering why they feel so distant from Me.
     Living close to Me requires making Me your First Love -- your highest priority. As you seek My Presence above all else, you experience Peace and Joy in full measure. I also am blessed when you make Me first in your life. While you journey through life in My Presence, My Glory brightens the world around you.

RELATED SCRIPTURE:

Isaiah 50:4 (NLT)
The Lord’s Obedient Servant
4 The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom,
    so that I know how to comfort the weary.
Morning by morning he wakens me
    and opens my understanding to his will.


Revelation 2:4 NLT
4 “But I have this complaint against you. You don’t love me or each other as you did at first!

Additional insight regarding Revelation 2:4: Paul had once commended the church of Ephesus for its love for God and others (Ephesians 1:15), but many of the church founders had died, and many of the second-generation believers had lost their zeal for God. They were a busy church - the members did much to benefit themselves and the community, but they acted out of the wrong motives. Work for God must be motivated by love for God, or it will not last.

Isaiah 60:2 (NLT)
2 Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth,
    but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you.

  3. (22) Sometimes it is difficult to hear His voice. I spend time with Him every morning but I just realized I need to spend time with Him before I get out of bed. I love the part of the verse, He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. I need to be still and listen.

  4. I can truly say when I don't seek him that the day takes a sideways turn, and I find myself reaching out to Him to put me back together. Starting with Him gives me confidence to get through every second of the day. Amen
