February 26 Devotional

Posted on February 26, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
May the Lord forgive us when we worry and fret about the future.  God promised He would care for us and guide us.  His promises are true!  Believe it and be Blessed!  Love, Scott
___________________________________________________________

I Am Leading You, Step By Step, through your life.  Hold my hand in trusting dependence, letting Me guide you through this day.  Your future looks uncertain and feels flimsy-even precarious.  That is how it should be.  Secret things belong to the Lord, and future things are secret things.  When you try to figure out the future, you are grasping at things that are Mine. This, like all forms of worry, is an act of rebellion: doubting My promises to care for you.

Whenever you find yourself worrying about the future, repent and return to Me.  I will show you the next step forward, and the one after that.  Relax and enjoy the journey in My Presence, trusting Me to open up the way before you as you go.

Deuteronomy 29:29  29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.

Psalm 32:8 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.

Dear Friends,
It was great having you all in worship yesterday as we sang, prayed, played and fellowshipped with our beloved Bishop Lowry.  I loved his energy, message and benediction as he reminded us to be salt and light in this world.  But, we can’t be salt and light if we have not taken the time to train ourselves spiritually through the disciplines of prayer, worship, study and service.  We are, indeed, forever “in training”.  In this, we truly find “the good life” and can be salt, light and love for all of His children here on earth.  I pray God blesses you tremendously for your efforts as you make time for Him each and every day.  Peace and Love!  Scott

Be Still In The Light of My Presence, while I communicate Love to you.  There is no force in the universe as powerful as My Love.  You are constantly aware of limitations, your own and others’.  But there is no limit to My Love, it fills all of space, time, and eternity.

Now you see through a glass, darkly, but someday you will see Me face-to-Face.  Then you will be able to experience fully how wide and long and high and deep is My Love for you.  If you were to experience that now, you would be overwhelmed to the point of feeling crushed.  But you have an eternity ahead of you, absolutely guaranteed, during which you can enjoy My Presence in unrestricted ecstasy.  For now, the knowledge of My loving Presence is sufficient to carry you through each day.

1 Corinthians 13:12 (KJV) 12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Ephesians 3:16-19 16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

February 23 Devotional

Dear Friends,
A year ago, I printed off this devotional and pasted the first paragraph on my computer so that I would see it every morning as I started my day.  These three sentences outlining the power of “trust” and “thankfulness” seemed to keep everything in perspective and in divine order. I pray it does so for you as well!  Peace and Love, Scott
________________________________________________________

Trust And Thankfulness will get you safely through this day.  Trust protects you from worrying and obsessing.  Thankfulness keeps you from criticizing and complaining, those sister sins that so easily entangle you.

Keeping your eyes on Me is the same thing as trusting Me.  It is a free choice that you must make thousands of times daily.  The more you choose to trust Me, the easier it becomes.  Thought patterns of trust become etched into your brain.  Relegate troubles to the periphery of your mind, so that I can be central in your thoughts.  Thus you focus on Me, entrusting your concerns into My care.

Colossians 2:6-7 6So then, just as you received ChristJesus as Lord, continue to live in him, 7rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Psalm 141:8  8 But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death.

February 19 devotional

Posted on February 19, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
It’s been a while since I’ve sent a devotional.  So sorry about that.  In a way, I have been feeling a bit “weighed down” by several issues.  Life is just that way isn’t it?  However, we do have a Savior who gently calls us to Him with all our problems, big and small.  God never said He’d solve our problems for us, although sometimes He does, but rather, Christ’s grace, mercy and power is enough to see us through whatever we’re facing.  We are not alone!  So, no matter what, “rejoice in the Lord, be joyful in God our Savior”.  Peace and Love!  Scott
__________________________________________________________

You Are Feeling Weighed Down by a plethora of problems, both big and small. They seem to require more and more of your attention, but you must not give in to those demands. When the difficulties in your life feel as if they’re closing in on you, break free by spending quality time with Me. You need to remember who I Am in all My Power and Glory. Then humbly bring Me your prayers and petitions; your problems will pale when you view them in the Light of My Presence. You can learn to be joyful in Me, your Savior,even in the midst of adverse circumstances. Rely on Me, your Strength; I will make your feet like the feet of a deer, enabling you to go on the heights.
Exodus 3:14 14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ “

Habakkuk 3:17-19 17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. 19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.

February 13 Devotional

Posted on February 13, 2014 by drscott
Dear Fearless Ones!
Do you consider yourself fearless?  God calls each of us to a worry-free, fearless life!  When you start down that path of worrying and feeling yourself getting all worked up over the problems that come your way, remember who holds you in the palm of His hand.  Take a deep breath, say “I trust you Lord”, and walk boldly through each and every day.  Peace and Love Friends, Scott
_________________________________________________________

Give Yourself Fully to the adventure of today.  Walk boldly along the path of Life, relying on your ever-present Companion.  You have every reason to be confident, because My Presence accompanies you all the days of your life-and onward into eternity.  Do not give in to fear or worry, those robbers of abundant living.  Trust Me enough to face problems as they come, rather than trying to anticipate them.  Fix your eyes on Me, the Author and Perfecter of your faith, and many difficulties on the road ahead will vanish before you reach them.  Whenever you start to feel afraid, remember that I am holding you by your right hand.  Nothing can separate you from My Presence!

Hebrews 12:2 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Isaiah 41:14 14 Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel,  for I myself will help you,” declares the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
