Jesus Calling, September 5th. Today he says, I am your best friend as well as your king. Walk hand-in-hand with me through your life. Together we will face whatever each day brings. Pleasures, hardships, adventures, disappointments. Nothing is wasted when it is shared with me. I can bring beauty out of the ashes of lost dreams. I can glean joy out of sorrow, peace out of adversity. Only a friend who is also the king of kings could accomplish this divine alchemy. There is no other like me. The friendship I offer you is practical and down-to-earth, yet it is saturated with heavenly glory. Living in my presence means living in two realms simultaneously. The visible world and unseen eternal reality. I have equipped you to stay conscious of me while walking along dusty earthbound paths.
