JANUARY 12



LET ME PREPARE YOU FOR THE DAY THAT STRETCHES OUT BEFORE YOU. I know exactly what this day will contain, whereas you have only vague ideas about it. You would like to see a map, showing all the twists and turns of your journey. You’d feel more prepared if you could somehow visualize what is on the road ahead. However, there is a better way to be prepared for whatever you will encounter today: Spend quality time with Me.



I will not show you what is on the road ahead—but I will thoroughly equip you for the journey. My living Presence is your Companion each step of the way. Stay in continual communication with Me, whispering My Name whenever you need to redirect your thoughts. Thus, you can walk through this day with your focus on Me—My abiding Presence is the best road map available.



MEDITATION:

“The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.””

—Exodus 33:14



“Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”

—John 15:4-7



TODAY:

Stay in communication with God today. Commit now how you will do that. He's right here, listening.



PRAY:

Lord Jesus, help me to see, hear, and listen to you on purpose today. I rest in your presence today no matter how busy I become. Amen!

“May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in you.”

—Psalms 25:21



Have a blessed Sunday!🙏
