Lest anyone doubt that God is alive, I read these words this morning after a horrible and almost nonexistent night of sleep....
When some basic need is lacking--time, energy, money--consider yourself blessed. Your very lack is an opportunity to latch onto Me in unashamed dependence. When you begin a day with inadequate resources, you must concentrate your efforts on the present moment. this is where you were meant to live--in the present; it is the place where I always await you. Awareness of your inadequacy is a rich blessing, training you to rely wholeheartedly on Me.
The truth is that self-sufficiency is a myth perpetuated by pride and temporary success. Health and wealth can disappear instantly, as can life itself. Rejoice in your insufficiency, knowing that My Power is made perfect in weakness.
from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
Yep, He was talking straight to me. He is alive. He cares so much about how we feel that He'll speak that word of truth and encouragement right when you need it. It will sustain you.
