August 8 Devotional
Dear Friends,
These are indeed beautiful words from God to you, his beloved ones. Read and be blessed friends! Love, Scott
___________________________________________________________
I Speak To You from deepest heaven. You hear Me in the depths of your being. Deep calls unto deep. You are blessed to hear me so directly. Never take this privilege for granted. The best response is a heart overflowing with gratitude. I am training you to cultivate a thankful mindset. This is like building your house on a firm rock, where life’s storms cannot shake you. As you learn these lessons, you are to teach them to others. I will open up the way before you, one step at a time.
Psalm 42:7 7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
Psalm 95:1-2 1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.
Matthew 7:24-25 24″Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

Dear Friends,
We are, by nature, problem solvers. This is especially true for us guys. We like to fix things! And our wives like to fix us! So, there’s a lot of “fixin” going on in our lives and in our relationships. Read on for what the Bible says:
_____________________________________________________________
Understanding will never bring you Peace. That’s why I have instructed you to trust in Me, not in your understanding. Human beings have a voracious appetite for trying to figure things out, in order to gain a sense of mastery over their lives. But the world presents you with an endless series of problems. As soon as you master one set, another pops up to challenge you. The relief you had anticipated is short-lived. Soon your mind is gearing up again: searching for understanding (mastery), instead of seeking Me (your Master).
The wisest of all men, Solomon, could never think his way through to Peace. His vast understanding resulted in feelings of futility, rather than in fulfillment. Finally, he lost his way and succumbed to the will of his wives by worshiping idols.
My Peace is not an elusive goal, hidden at the center of some complicated maze. Actually, you are always enveloped in Peace, which is inherent in My Presence. As you look to Me, you gain awareness of this precious Peace.
Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Romans 5:1 1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 Thessalonians 3:16 16Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

Dear Beloved Friends,
We all have them form time to time. But trust in the Lord, and He will guide you safely through. “Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus”….Amen! Hugs and Much Love, Scott
____________________________________________
When Things Seem to be going all wrong, stop and affirm your trust in Me. Calmly bring these matters to Me, and leave them in My capable hands. Then, simply do the next thing. Stay in touch with Me through thankful, trusting prayers, resting in My sovereign control. Rejoice in Me–exult in the God of your salvation! As you trust in Me, I make your feet like the feet of a deer. I enable you to walk and make progress upon the high places.
Job 13:15 15 Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face.
Psalm 18:33 33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.
Habakkuk 3:17-19 (AMP) 17Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls,18Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation!(A) 19The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]! For the Chief Musician; with my stringed instruments.

Dear Friends,
Thank you SO much for spending your precious time with me and your fellow singers/instrumentalists. Time is, indeed, our most valuable asset. Spending time with friend, family and, most importantly, our Creator, is time well spent! Peace in Christ, Scott
____________________________________________________
Bring Me The Sacrifice of your time: a most precious commodity. In this action-addicted world, few of My children take time to sit quietly in My Presence. But for those who do, blessings flow like streams of living water. I, the One from whom all blessings flow, am also blessed by our time together. This is a deep mystery; do not try to fathom it. Instead, glorify Me by delighting in Me. Enjoy Me now and forever!
Psalm 21:6
6 Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
John 7:38 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”
Psalm 103:11 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;

Dear Friends,
It’s been a while since I’ve posted any devotionals. Forgive me for that! I pray you’ve been having a wonderful break from leading in worship. I have certainly missed your presence each Sunday and I know Mike has as well. It’s not quite “right” without you all singing and playing to the glory of God! I hope to see you ALL this Wednesday as we kick off the new season. In the mean time, enjoy the beauty of God all around you. Peace in Christ and Love Always, Scott
_________________________________________________
Worship Me in the beauty of holiness. I created beauty to declare the existence of My holy Being. A magnificent rose, a hauntingly glorious sunset, oceanic splendor–all these things were meant to proclaim My Presence in the world. Most people rush past these proclamations without giving them a second thought. Some people use beauty, especially feminine loveliness, to sell their products.
How precious are My children who are awed by nature’s beauty; this opens them up to My holy Presence. Even before you knew Me personally, you responded to My creation with wonder. This is a gift, and it carries responsibility with it. Declare My glorious Being to the world. The whole earth is full of My radiant beauty–My Glory!
Psalm 29:2 (NKJV) 2 Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Isaiah 6:3 3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”

Dear Friends,
Let your light shine as a reflection of the Holy Spirit dwelling within you. Peace and Love, Scott
_____________________________________________________
I Am The Light Of The World. Men crawl through their lives cursing the darkness, but all the while I am shining brightly. I desire each of My followers to be a Light-bearer. The Holy Spirit who lives in you can shine from your face, making Me visible to people around you. Ask My Spirit to live through you, as you wend your way through this day. Hold My hand in joyful trust, for I never leave your side. The Light of My Presence is shining upon you. Brighten up the world by reflecting who I am.
John 8:12 12When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Matthew 5:14-16 14″You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
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.’ “
