“Your sense of security must not rest in your possessions or in things going your way. I am training you to depend on Me alone, finding fulfillment in My presence. This entails being satisfied with much or with little, accepting either as My will for the moment. Instead of grasping and controlling, you are learning to release and receive. Cultivate this receptive stance by trusting Me in every situation.”

Sarah Young in Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 2004) reading for November 7.

I was supposed to head to North Dakota to go pheasant hunting today and numerous factors in addition to the weather thwarted my plans. I release them and receive the gift of whatever else God has in store for me over the next four days. God is so good, I am certain these “snow” days will be filled with wonderful blessings.
