Dearly Beloved Friends,

All morning, I’ve been thinking about next week–Holy Week. This upcoming Sunday is Palm Sunday and marks the beginning of Holy Week, culminating on Easter. But this Easter is like none I’ve ever prepared for. This Easter will be different. It’s risky to leave the safety, comfort and familiarity of your home, but God did not call us to keep the Good News locked behind large oak doors at 777 N.Walnut Creek Drive did He? I love being stretched and challenged spiritually and emotionally. It is how we grow as a church and as His people. So, let’s take a deep breath together, trust that we’ll be ready and know that God is with us wherever we go. Preparation and trust….amen!

Trust Me One Day At A Time. Trust keeps you close to Me, responsive to My will. Trust is not a natural response, especially for those who have been deeply wounded. My Spirit within you is your resident Tutor, helping you in this supernatural endeavor. Yield to His gentle touch; be sensitive to his prompting.

Exert your will to trust Me in all circumstances. Don’t let your need to understand distract you from My Presence. I will equip you to get through this day victoriously, as you live in deep dependence on Me. Tomorrow is busy worrying about itself, don’t get tangled up in its worry-webs. Trust Me one day at a time.

Psalm 84:12 12 O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

Matthew 6:34 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Dear Friends,
What a beautiful love song we heard last night with our FSU kids!  Thank you all who hosted and attended the concert last night.  You really showed them love and true Texas hospitality.  I was very proud of our beautiful church and the outpouring of love to our guests.  Thank you Beth, Kathleen and the awesome hospitality crew that took such great care to make sure our kids where fed well and nurtured.  Many of you shared God is Big Enough wrist bands with your kids.  Thanks for doing that!  You never know what seeds you may have planted.  I took the liberty of praying a blessing on the FSU choir on their bus and took wrist bands to make sure that those that wanted one, got one.  You wouldn’t believe the response!  Kids were very eager to get theirs and thanked me profusely.  Really sweet.  So, thank YOU for opening up your homes to these wonderful FSU kids.  Our city just got a little bigger!
Peace, Scott

Listen To The Love Song that I am continually singing to you.  I take great delight in you… I rejoice over you with singing.  The voices of the world are a cacophony of chaos, pulling you this way and that.  Don’t listen to those voices; challenge them with My Word.  Learn to take minibreaks from the world, finding a place to be still in My Presence and listen to My voice.

There is immense hidden treasure to be found through listening to Me.  Though I pour out blessings upon you always, some of My richest blessings have to be actively sought.  I love to reveal Myself to you, and your seeking heart opens you up to receive more of My disclosure.  Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Zephaniah 3:17 17 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”

Matthew 7:7 7″Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Dear Beloved Friends,
This is excellent devotional to print out and refer to on a daily basis.  As we all know, problems are simply a part of this world.  Inescapable, but not insurmountable!  Read below to find the key to dealing with the problems that come your way.  Peace and Love, Scott

Learn To Live above your circumstances.  This requires focused time with Me, the One who overcame the world.  Trouble and distress are woven into the very fabric of this perishing world.  Only My Life in you can empower you to face this endless flow of problems with good cheer.

As you sit quietly in My Presence, I shine Peace into your troubled mind and heart.  Little by little, you are freed from earthly shackles and lifted up above your circumstances.  You gain My perspective on your life, enabling you to distinguish between what is important and what is not.  Rest in My Presence, receiving Joy that no one can take away from you.

John 16:33 (KJV)  33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

John 16:22 22So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
