Dr. Scott Ferrell

Dear Friends,
Today is Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of the Lenten season.  I think this devotional is fitting as together we walk the path to the cross with Christ and celebrate His resurrection on Easter.  I give thanks for each of you and your dedication to this journey.  There is much strength in numbers, so let’s support each other, pray for each other and be blessed as partners in ministry for the Kingdom and Glory of God!  Amen and amen!

___________________________________________
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.

Dear Friends,
This is an absolutely beautiful devotional.  Every word is so true!  Living and thinking in the Spirit is the only way to truly be happy on earth.  Eventually, we will return to our Father and our spirits will truly be one.  But for now, we all have to work at living in the Spirit.  Be careful of your thoughts, for they lead to words and actions.  It’s easy to underestimate the power of thoughts and words.  Remember who breathed life into you!  Our breath comes from the Creator of the universe.  That’s an awesome power and responsibility.  And, as you search for meaning and happiness, know that true joy only comes from our strong relationship with our Lord and Savior, not things, not other people, not power, not wealth.  God and God only.  Read on for inspiration!  Peace, Love and Grace be Yours, Scott

I Am Ever So Near You, hovering over your shoulder, reading every thought.  People think that thoughts are fleeting and worthless, but yours are precious to Me.  I smile when you think lovingly of Me.  My Spirit, who lives within you, helps you to think My thoughts.  As your thinking goes, so goes your entire being.

Let Me be your positive Focus.  When you look to Me, knowing Me as God with you, you experience Joy.  This is according to My ancient design, when I first crafted man.  Modern man seeks his positive focus elsewhere: in sports, sensations, acquiring new possessions.  Advertising capitalizes on the longing of people for a positive focus in their lives.  I planted that longing in human souls, knowing that only I could fully satisfy it.  Delight yourself in Me; let Me become the Desire of your heart.

Matthew 1:23 23″The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”

Psalm 37:4 4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Dear Friends,
True peace is a treasure from our Heavenly Father given to us through trust and faith.  This peace is not earthly or bound to earthly circumstances.  That is why it is so elusive to non believers.  Deep peace transcends all the powers of darkness and bursts through pain, suffering and even death itself.  Accept this amazing gift and share it with others.  Be a light in the darkness today and every day!  Peace and Love, Scott

My Peace is like a shaft of golden Light shining on you continuously. During days of bright sunshine, it may blend in with your surroundings. On darker days, My Peace stands out in sharp contrast to your circumstances. See times of darkness as opportunities for My Light to shine in transcendent splendor I am training you to practice Peace that overpowers darkness. Collaborate with Me in this training. Do not grow weary or lose heart.

John 1:4-5 4In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. 5And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].

Hebrews 12:3 3  Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
