January 6 Devotional

Posted on January 6, 2016 by drscott

Dear Friends,

Ever feel as if you’re limping instead of flying during your day? That’s kind of how it’s been for me lately. I’m kind of limping into 2016 it seems. And then I read today’s devotional and am reminded that, indeed, my strength is small, but my God is GREAT! So, I’ll lean on Him and trust in Him in all things. I look forward to our first rehearsal of the new year tonight! Come ready to have a great time of merry music making and fellowship! Peace and Love, Scott

I Am Able to do far beyond all that you ask or imagine. Come to Me with positive expectations, knowing that there is no limit to what I can accomplish. Ask My Spirit to control your mind, so that you can think great thoughts of Me. Do not be discouraged by the fact that many of your prayers are yet unanswered. Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait upon Me, to trust Me in the dark. The more extreme your circumstances, the more likely you are to see My Power and Glory at work in the situation. Instead of letting difficulties draw you into worrying, try to view them as setting the scene for My glorious intervention. Keep your eyes and your mind wide open to all that I am doing in your life.

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.

Romans 8:6 6The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.

Isaiah 40:30-31 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Revelation 5:13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever!”

January 4th Devotional

Tis so sweet, to trust in Jesus! See you all soon friend! It’s gonna be a GREAT year! Hugs, Scott
__________________________________________________

I Want You To Learn A New Habit. Try saying “I trust You, Jesus” in response to whatever happens to you. If there is time, think about who I Am in all My Power and Glory; ponder also the depth and breadth of My Love for you.

This simple practice will help you to see Me in every situation, acknowledging My sovereign control over the universe. When you view events from this perspective-through the Light of My universal Presence-fear loses its grip on you. Adverse circumstances become growth opportunities when you affirm your trust in Me no matter what. You receive blessings gratefully, realizing they flow directly from My hand of grace. Your continual assertion of trusting Me will strengthen our relationship and keep you close to Me.

Psalm 63:2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.

Isaiah 40:10-11 10 See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. 11 He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.

Psalm 139:7-10 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? I I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

December 29th Devotional

Posted on December 29, 2015 by drscott

Dear Friends,

I have not posted a devotional in a while, but this one is really too good not to forward to you all. I trust that you are getting some rest after a busy Christmas season. I can’t thank you all enough for your wonderful music each and every weekend! What a blessing you are to me and to our church. As we wind down 2015 and look towards another year, it’s important to remember that no matter what, we can trust God to be with us through thick and thin. May you all be blessed today and every day as you continue to walk in His ways. Peace and love, Scott
____________________________________________________________________

Trust Me with every fiber of your being! What I can accomplish in and through you is proportional to how much you depend on Me. One aspect of this is the degree to which you trust Me in a crisis or major decision. Some people fail miserably here, while others are at their best in tough times. Another aspect is even more telling: the constancy of your trust in Me. People who rely on Me in the midst of adversity may forget about Me when life is flowing smoothly. Difficult times can jolt you into awareness of your need for Me, whereas smooth sailing can lull you into the stupor of self-sufficiency.

I care as much about your tiny trust-steps through daily life as about your dramatic leaps of faith. You may think that no one notices, but the One who is always beside you sees everything-and rejoices. Consistently trusting in Me is vital to flourishing in My Presence.

Psalm 40:4 4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.

Psalm 56:3-4 3 When I am afraid, I will trust in you.  4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?

Psalm 62:8  8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

Isaiah 26:3-4 3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.  4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.

December 9 Devotional

Posted on December 9, 2015 by drscott

Dear Friends,

Our paths are not always straight as we journey through this life are they? You all know too well that as soon as we think we’re on “easy street” and the path is nice and straight, that’s about the time we hit a curve! Didn’t see THAT coming did you? Seems like it’s always something doesn’t it? But, the good news is that we’re never alone. We have our God and we have each other. Going out on a limb with God seems a little easier when our friends are on the other end of the limb holding on tight! Thanks for your friendship and faithfulness. Love and Hugs, Scott

________________________________________________________

Be Willing To Go Out On A Limb with Me. If that is where I am leading you, it is the safest place to be. Your desire to live a risk-free life is a form of unbelief. Your longing to live close to Me is at odds with your attempts to minimize risk. You are approaching a crossroad in your journey. In order to follow Me wholeheartedly, you must relinquish your tendency to play it safe.

Let Me lead you step by step through this day. If your primary focus is on Me, you can walk along perilous paths without being afraid. Eventually, you will learn to relax and enjoy the adventure of our journey together. As long as you stay close to Me. My sovereign Presence protects you wherever you go.

Psalm 23:4 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Psalm 9:10 10 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

John 12:26 26Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
