Today's entry from the calendar/book written by Sarah Young "Jesus Calling:  Enjoying Peace in His Presence", written as if Jesus is talking with us, copies of which many of you have:

"I am leading you along the high road, but there are descents as well as ascents. In the distance you see snow-covered peaks glistening in brilliant sunlight. Your longing to reach those peaks is good, but you must not take shortcuts. Your assignment is to follow Me, allowing Me to direct your path. Let the heights beckon you onward, but stay close to Me.

"Learn to trust Me when things go 'wrong'. Disruptions to your routine highlight your dependence on Me. Trusting acceptance of trials brings blessing that 'far outweigh them all'. Walk hand in hand with Me through this day. I have lovingly planned every inch of the way. Trust does not falter when the path becomes rocky and steep. Breathe deep thoughts of My Presence, and hold tightly to My hand. Together we can make it!"

~ Taken from John 21:19; 2 Corinthians 4:17; Habakkuk 3:19
