August 26th Devotional

Posted on August 26, 2015 by drscott

Dear Friends,

Trust is a delicate thing to both give and receive. Trust is something that is earned through years of tests, trials and victories. In our often untrustworthy world, one thing is constant–God. You can trust God in all things for He has seen you through the fire more than once. So, take heart, trust and lean not on your own understanding. I look forward to seeing (and hearing) you tonight. Trust me on this! Peace, Scott
______________________________________________________

Trust Me in the midst of a messy day. Your inner calm-your Peace in My Presence-need not be shaken by what is going on around you. Though you live in this temporal world, your innermost being is rooted and grounded in eternity. When you start to feel stressed, detach yourself from the disturbances around you. Instead of desperately striving to maintain order and control in your little world, relax and remember that circumstances cannot touch My Peace.

Seek My Face, and I will share My mind with you, opening your eyes to see things from My perspective. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. The Peace I give is sufficient for you.

John 16:33 33

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Psalm 105:4 4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.

John 14:27 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

August 24 Devotional

Posted on August 24, 2015 by drscott

Dear Friends,

What a lovely morning of worship and celebration of our lives together. I am so grateful for your presence each and every week! Thank you all for sharing love, life and all that goes with a relationship through Christ. God is indeed Good and with us all the time. May you continue to feel His presence each and every day as you seek His will for your lives. Peace and Love, Scott
____________________________________________________________

I Am All Around You, hovering over you even as you seek My Face. I am nearer than you dare believe, closer than the air you breathe. If My children could only recognize My Presence, they would never feel lonely again. I know every thought before you think it, every word before you speak it. My Presence impinges on your innermost being. Can you see the absurdity of trying to hide anything from Me? You can easily deceive other people, and even yourself but I read you like an open, large-print book.

Deep within themselves, most people have some awareness of My imminent Presence. Many people run from Me and vehemently deny My existence, because My closeness terrifies them. But My own children have nothing to fear, for I have cleansed them by My blood and clothed them in My righteousness. Be blessed by My intimate nearness. Since I live in you, let Me also live through you, shining My Light into the darkness.

Psalm 139:1-4 1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.

Ephesians 2:13 13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:21 21God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

August 17th Devotional

Posted on August 17, 2015 by drscott

Happy Monday Friends!

By the time you receive this, Monday will almost be over for you. Mondays can be a crazy day for some of us. It’s a signal that the much anticipated weekend is over, a new week is ahead and we have much to do and not enough time to do it! When the days seems to whirl and take on a life of its own, Jesus says to say His name in prayer and know that we’re not alone. I am reminded of the last line of our anthem on Sunday–“you are, forever, mine”. Amen!
_________________________________________________________

Find Me in the midst of the maelstrom. Sometimes events whirl around you so quickly that they become a blur. Whisper My Name in recognition that I am still with you. Without skipping a beat in the activities that occupy you, you find strength and Peace through praying My Name. Later, when the happenings have run their course, you can talk with Me more fully.

Accept each day just as it comes to you. Do not waste your time and energy wishing for a different set of circumstances. Instead, trust Me enough to yield to My design and purposes. Remember that nothing can separate you from My loving Presence: you are Mine.

Philippians 2:9-11 9

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Isaiah 43:1 1 But now, this is what the LORD says—he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

August 13 Devotional

Posted on August 13, 2015 by drscott

Dear Friends,

A life with Christ is indeed the Good Life! So, enjoy it and enjoy being with the One who loves you unconditionally each and every day. Be blessed dear ones, Scott
__________________________________________________________

Learn To Enjoy Life More. Relax, remembering that I am God with you. I crafted you with enormous capacity to know Me and enjoy My Presence. When My people wear sour faces and walk through their lives with resigned rigidity, I am displeased. When you walk through a day with childlike delight, savoring every blessing, you proclaim your trust in Me, your ever-present Shepherd. The more you focus on My Presence with you, the more fully you can enjoy life. Glorify Me through your pleasure in Me. Thus you proclaim My Presence to the watching world.

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.”

John 10:10-11 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. 11″I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
