That is all God promises His children. Wherever God sends us, He will guard our lives. Our personal property and possessions are to be a matter of indifference to us, and our hold on these things should be very loose. If this is not the case, we will have panic, heartache, and distress. Having the proper outlook is evidence of the deeply rooted belief in the overshadowing of God\u2019s personal deliverance.<\/p>\n<p>The Sermon on the Mount indicates that when we are on a mission for Jesus Christ, there is no time to stand up for ourselves. Jesus says, in effect, \u201cDon\u2019t worry about whether or not you are being treated justly.\u201d Looking for justice is actually a sign that we have been diverted from our devotion to Him. Never look for justice in this world, but never cease to give it. If we look for justice, we will only begin to complain and to indulge ourselves in the discontent of self-pity, as if to say, \u201cWhy should I be treated like this?\u201d If we are devoted to Jesus Christ, we have nothing to do with what we encounter, whether it is just or unjust. In essence, Jesus says, \u201cContinue steadily on with what I have told you to do, and I will guard your life. If you try to guard it yourself, you remove yourself from My deliverance.\u201d Even the most devout among us become atheistic in this regard\u2014 we do not believe Him. We put our common sense on the throne and then attach God\u2019s name to it. We\u00a0<em>do<\/em> lean to our own understanding, instead of trusting God with all our hearts (see\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Proverbs+3:5-6\">Proverbs 3:5-6<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>______________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>June 27, 2011<\/p>\n<p>Journal Entry for Today-JDV<\/p>\n<p>Lord, I think I understand more and more about why I should live a moment, hour and day at a time. You meet me right in the moment \u2026unless I chose to listen to my own voice instead. Being with my daughters over the last few weeks it occurs to me how difficult it is to allow a child you love so dearly to run independent of complete safety and protection.<\/p>\n<p><em>And God says\u2026\u201dYou are free to choose. And you will make wrong choices when you follow your own inclinations. \u00a0It is only natural. When you live your life in Me, trust in Me with all your heart, and do not rely on your own devices, a knowing peace will overcome you. \u00a0When you wait patiently; believing, you will know the outcome before it occurs.
