January 30 Devotional

Posted on January 30, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
This morning’s devotional really hit home with me. The second sentence, especially, caused me to raise a “red flag” of caution.  “Whatever occupies your mind the most, becomes your god.”  It’s so easy to focus on other things, people and even ourselves when in the midst of trials and tribulations.  But God says to trust Him in all things and to keep your mind free of the bondage of anxiety, worry and doubt.  Rewire your mind and tune into Christ today!  Peace Friends, Scott

Worship Me Only.  Whatever occupies your mind the most becomes your god.  Worries, if indulged, develop into idols.  Anxiety gains a life of its own, parasitically infesting your mind.  Break free from this bondage by affirming your trust in Me and refreshing yourself in My Presence.  What goes on in your mind is invisible, undetectable to other people.  But I read your thoughts continually, searching for evidence of trust in Me.  I rejoice when your mind turns toward Me.  Guard your thoughts diligently; good thought-choices will keep you close to Me.

Psalm 112:7 7 He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

1 Corinthians 13:11 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

January 29th Devotional

Posted on January 29, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
We often forget just who we are and in whose image we were created.  It’s easy to do in this world as the focal point of our attention is on surviving and not always thriving in the glory of our Maker.  Angels are powerful heavenly beings, yet even they do not have the gift of free will.  This amazing gift from God brings with it a responsibility to use it wisely.  I, too, struggle with attention issues, especially during prayer time.  As your mind wanders, God gently calls us back saying “let it go, be at peace, hear My voice, I love you…” I pray you hear these words today and every day.  Be blessed beloved.  Scott
________________________________________________________

Keep Your Focus On Me.  I have gifted you with amazing freedom, including the ability to choose the focal point of your mind.  Only the crown of My creation has such remarkable capability; this is a sign of being made in My image.

Let the goal of this day be to bring every thought captive to Me.  When ever your mind wanders, lasso those thoughts and bring them into My Presence.  In My radiant Light, anxious thoughts shrink and shrivel away.  Judgmental thoughts are unmasked as you bask in My unconditional Love.  Confused ideas are untangled while you rest in the simplicity of My Peace.  I will guard you and keep you in perfect Peace, as you focus your mind on Me.

Psalm 8:5 5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

Genesis 1:26-27 26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

2 Corinthians 10:5 5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Isaiah 26:3 3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.

Dear Friends,
These are beautiful words from our Lord and Savior.  It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that Christ Himself is with us.  As you daily tune your mind to His voice, you’ll find words of assurance spoken softly in your ear, words of encouragement to strengthen you and words of unconditional love that give you peace, joy and comfort.  Accept this precious gift, give thanks and be blessed!  Love and Hugs, Scott
________________________________________________________

I Am With You Always. These were the last words I spoke before ascending into heaven. I continue to proclaim this promise to all who will listen. People respond to My continual Presence in various ways. Most Christians accept this teaching as truth but ignore it in their daily living. Some ill-taught or wounded believers fear (and may even resent) My awareness of all they do, say, and think. A few people center their lives around this glorious promise and find themselves blessed beyond all expectations.

When My Presence is the focal point of your consciousness, all the pieces of your life fall into place. As you gaze at Me through the eyes of your heart, you can see the world around you from My perspective. The fact that I am with you makes every moment of your life meaningful.

Matthew 28:20 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Psalm 139:1-4 1 You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughtsfrom afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down;you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.

January 27 Devotional

Dear Friends,
As I write this from my sick bed, it is a gentle reminder that we are indeed on a journey with many twists and turns.  Yes, the pathway to God is straight and narrow, but life has a funny way of creating many obstacles that threaten to cause us to loose our way. Trust God.  Keep your eyes toward the prize and if you wander from the path, pray and fight without ceasing to get back on the way that leads to life!  Be blessed friends!  Hugs and Love, Scott
_______________________________________________________

Trust Is A Golden Pathway To Heaven. When you walk on this path, you live above your circumstances. My glorious Light shines more brightly on those who follow this path of life. Dare to walk on the high road with Me, for it is the most direct route to heaven. The low road is circuitous: twisting and turning in agonizing knots. There the air hangs heavy, and dark, ominous clouds predominate.Relying on your own understanding will weigh you down. Trust in Me absolutely, and I will make you path straight. 

John 14:1-2 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
Proverbs 3:5-6 3Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;6in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

January 22 Devotional

Posted on January 22, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
This is a great reminder that God’s ways are indeed higher than our ways.  We can spend unending hours fretting, countless dollars in therapy and endless days wondering “why”, when, in fact, we should just say “I trust you Lord”.  Trust and let go.  I pray you find peace in this.  Blessings Friends, Scott
________________________________________________________

Strive To Trust Me in more and more areas of your life.  Anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity.  Instead of running away from these challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessings I have hidden in the difficulties.  If you believe that I am sovereign over every aspect of your life, it is possible to trust Me in all situations.  Don’t waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been.  Start at the present moment-accepting things exactly as they are-and search for My way in the midst of those circumstances.

Trust is like a staff you lean on, as you journey uphill with Me.  If you are trusting in Me consistently, the staff will bear as much of your weight as needed.  Lean on, trust, and be confident in Me with all your heart and mind.

Psalm 52:8 8 But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP) 5Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. 6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
