Beautiful words for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.  See you tonight!  Peace and Love, Scott

Seek My Face, and you will find fulfillment of your deepest longings.  My world is filled with beautiful things; they are meant to be pointers to Me, reminders of My abiding Presence.  The earth still declares My Glory to those who have eyes that see and ears that hear.

You had a darkened mind before you sought Me wholeheartedly.  I chose to pour My Light into you, so that you can be a beacon to others.  There is no room for pride in this position.  Your part is to reflect My Glory.  I am the Lord! 

Psalm 105:4 ⁴ Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him. 

Psalm 19:1-2 ¹ The heavens proclaim the glory of God.  The skies display his craftsmanship.   ² Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 

 Isaiah 60:2  ² Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you.

Dear Friends,

Each day we are faced with challenges of one type or another.  Physical challenges,  challenges with our relationships, challenges with kids, grandkids, aging parents etc.  We are not alone!  God is the strength that will get you through whatever it is you’re facing.  Read on for inspiration and be blessed as you trust in Him to guide you through this day and every day.  peace and Love, Scott

Welcome Challenging Times as opportunities to trust Me.  You have Me beside you and My Spirit within you, so no set of circumstances is too much for you to handle.  When the path before you is dotted with difficulties, beware of measuring your strength against those challenges.  That calculation is certain to riddle you with anxiety.  Without Me, you wouldn’t make it past the first hurdle!

The way to walk through demanding days is to grip My hand tightly and stay in close communication with Me.  Let your thoughts and spoken words be richly flavored with trust and thankfulness.  Regardless of the day’s problems, I can keep you in perfect Peace as you stay close to Me.

James 1:2  ²Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 

 Philippians 4:13 ¹³I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

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

Peace Friends.  Hugs, Scott

The Peace That I Give You transcends your intellect.  When most of your mental energy goes into efforts to figure things out, you are unable  to receive this glorious gift.  I look into your mind and see thoughts spinning round and round: going nowhere, accomplishing nothing.  All the while, My Peace hovers over you, searching for a place to land.

Be still in My Presence, inviting Me to control your thoughts.  Let My Light soak into your mind and heart, until you are aglow with My very Being.  This is the most effective way to receive My Peace. 

2 Thessalonians 3:16  ¹⁶ Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all. 

 Job 22:21  ²¹ “Submit to God, and you will have peace; then things will go well for you.

Dear Friends,

Time well spent.  It’s the most valuable asset we own, and once spent, can not be regained.  What are you spending your time on?  Is it eternal?  Does it give back to you?  Good questions to ask ourselves as we live each day focusing on what really matters.  Be blessed!  Love, Scott

Time With Me

cannot be rushed.  When you are in a hurry, your mind flitters back and forth between Me and the tasks ahead of you.  Push back the demands pressing in on you; create a safe space around you, a haven in which you can rest with Me.  I also desire this time of focused attention and I use it to bless you, strengthening and equipping you for the day ahead.  Thus, time spent with Me is a wise investment.

Bring Me the sacrifice of your precious time. This creates sacred space around you-space permeated with My Presence and My Peace.

Psalm 119:27-28  ²⁷ Help me understand the meaning of your commandments, and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds.   ²⁸ I weep with sorrow; encourage me by your word. 

2 Chronicles 16:9 ⁹ The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. What a fool you have been! From now on you will be at war.”

Dear Friends,

Thank you all for making this past Sunday extra special as we all experienced heart-felt gratitude for the sacrifices made for our freedom.  It was a beautiful morning indeed.  I look forward to our upcoming concerts with Whole Heart!  The Spirit always seems to bless our gatherings.  See you Wednesday!  Peace and Love, Scott

I Am With You, watching over you constantly.  I am Emmanuel (God with you): My Presence enfolds you in radiant Love.  Nothing, including the brightest blessings and the darkest trials, can separate you from Me.  Some of My children find Me more readily during dark times, when difficulties force them to depend on Me.  Others feel closer to Me when their lives are filled with good things.  They respond with thanksgiving and praise, thus opening wide the door to My Presence.

I know precisely what you need to draw nearer to Me.  Go through each day looking for what I have prepared for you.  Accept every event as My hand-tailored provision for your needs.  When you view your life this way, the most reasonable response is to be thankful.  Do not reject any of My gifts; find Me in every situation.

Matthew 1:23 ²³ “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’” 

Colossians 2:6-7 ⁶ And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. ⁷ Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

Dear Friends,

Thank you all for your presence last night and for some wonderful time of fellowship and music making.  I’m so proud of you all!  I’m looking forward to this Sunday as we honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  Please make every effort to be present.  Whole Heart will be joining us for “I Then Shall Live” and Caesar Rente will be bringing the message.  Take a moment to read this devotional and to “walk with Him in the garden of your heart”.  Blessings and Love, Scott

Bring Me Your Mind for rest and renewal.  Let Me infuse My Presence into your thoughts.  As your mind stops racing, your body relaxes and you regain awareness of Me.  This awareness is vital to your spiritual well-being; it is your lifeline, spiritually speaking.

There are actually more than four dimensions in this world where you live.  In addition to the three dimensions of space and the one of time, there is the dimension of openness to My Presence.  This dimension transcends the others, giving you glimpses of heaven while you still reside on earth.  This was part of My original design for mankind.  Adam and Eve used to walk with Me in the garden, before their expulsion from Eden.  I want you to walk with Me in the garden of your heart, where I have taken up permanent residence. 

 Genesis 3:8 ⁸ Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 

Psalm 89:15  ¹⁵ Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD.
