Dear Friends,

Patience is something I continue to struggle with.  I hope you find time to be with the Lord today.  We’re all given 24 hours a day.  I know it’s difficult, but make time for your Creator!  Hugs and Love, Scott

Wait Patiently With Me while I bless you. Don’t rush into My Presence with time-consciousness gnawing at your mind.  I dwell in timelessness: I am, I was, I will always be.  For you, time is a protection; you’re a frail creature who can handle only twenty-four-hour segments of life.  Time can also be a tyrant, ticking away relentlessly in your mind.  Learn to master time, or it will be your master.

Though you are a time-bound creature, seek to meet Me in timelessness.  As you focus on My Presence, the demands of time and tasks will diminish.  I will bless you and keep you, making My Face shine upon you graciously, giving you Peace.

Micah 7:7 ⁷ But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. 

Revelation 1:8  ⁸“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” 

 Numbers 6:24-26 ²⁴ ” ‘ “The LORD bless you and keep you;²⁵ the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; ²⁶ the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” ‘

I Speak To You Continually.  My nature is to communicate, though not always in words.  I fling glorious sunsets across the sky, day after day.  I speak in the faces and voices of loved ones.  I caress you with a gentle breeze that refreshes and delights you.  I speak softly in the depths of your spirit, where I have taken up residence.

You can find Me in each moment, when you have eyes that see and ears that hear.  Ask My Spirit to sharpen your spiritual eyesight and hearing.  I rejoice each time you discover My Presence.  Practice looking and listening for Me during quiet intervals.  Gradually you will find Me in more and more of your moments.  You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me above all else.

Psalm 8:1-4 ¹ O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!  You have set your glory above the heavens. ² From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.  ³ When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,⁴ what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?  

Psalm 19:1-2  ¹ The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. ² Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. 

 1Corinthians 6:19 ¹⁹Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 

Jeremiah 29:13 ¹³ You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Dear Friends,

God indeed is with us!  That alone is reason to rejoice and be glad.  So, as you go throughout this day, pause and say “thank you Jesus for being with me and guiding me.”  Hugs, scott

I Am The Firm Foundation on which you can dance and sing and celebrate My Presence.  This is My high and holy calling for you; receive it as a precious gift.  Glorifying and enjoying Me is a higher priority than maintaining a tidy, structured life.  Give up your striving to keep everything under control-an impossible task and a waste of precious energy.

My guidance for each of My children is unique.  That’s why listening to Me is so vital for your well-being.  Let me prepare you for the day that awaits you and point you in the right direction.  I am with you continually, so don’t be intimidated by fear.  Though it stalks you, it cannot harm you, as long as you cling to My hand.  Keep your eyes on Me, enjoying Peace in My Presence.

Psalm 5:11 ¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 

Ephesians 3:20-21   ²⁰Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, ²¹to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Jude 24  ²⁴To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—

Joshua 1:5 ⁵ No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Dear Friends,

Thank you all for your presence last night and for your continued faithfulness even during the summer months.  I know many of you are out of town or else you’d be here on Wednesdays!  Please know that we’re praying for your safe return.  As I read this morning’s devotional, I was reminded of the words we sang last night.  Our love song to God this Sunday is, simply, “Amazed”.  The honesty and transparency of this great song speaks right to the heart of God and His amazing love for us and all the world.  I thank all of you who volunteered to sing at the prison on Sept. 21^st.  Together, we will indeed draw others out of darkness and into the Light.  Peace and Love, Scott

I Have Loved You with an everlasting Love.  Before time began, I knew you.  For years you swam around in a sea of meaninglessness, searching for Love, hoping for hope.  All that time I was pursuing you, aching to embrace you in My compassionate arms.
When time was right, I revealed Myself to you.  I lifted you out of that sea of despair and set you down on a firm foundation.  Sometimes you felt naked-exposed to the revealing Light of My Presence.  I wrapped an ermine robe around you: My robe of righteousness.  I sang you a Love song, whose beginning and end are veiled in eternity.  I infused meaning into your mind and harmony into your heart.  Join Me in singing My Song.  Together we will draw others out of darkness into My marvelous Light.

Jeremiah 31:3  ³ The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness. 

Isaiah 61:10 ¹⁰ I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

1 Peter 2:9 (NASB) ⁹But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
