Through No Effort of Your Own

*This post is taken from Sarah Young’s, Jesus Calling devotional.

 My plan for your life is unfolding before you. Sometimes the road you are traveling seems blocked, or it opens up so painfully slow that you must hold yourself back. Then, when time is right, the way before you suddenly clears- through no effort of your own. What you have longed for and worked for I present to you freely, as pure gift. You feel awed by the east with which I operate in the world, and you glimpse My Power and My Glory [Psalm 63:2].

Do not fear your weakness, for it is the state on which My Power and Glory perform most brilliantly. As you persevere along the path I have prepared for you, depending on My strength to sustain you, expect to see miracles- and you will. Miracles are not always visible to the naked eye, but those who live by faith can see them clearly. Living by faith, rather than sight, [2 Corinthians 5:7] enables you to see My glory [John 11:40].

Happy Friday xx
