February 5th Devotional

Posted on February 5, 2015 by drscott
Dear Friends,
Seeking to control our circumstances is human nature.  God says to seek Him and He will give us everlasting peace.  Trust and hold on to God.  Control what you seek and everything will fall into place, so says the Lord.  Be at peace dear ones.  Hugs, Scott
__________________________________________________________

Seek My Face, and you will find not only My Presence but also My Peace.  To receive My Peace, you must change your grasping, controlling stance to one of openness and trust.  The only thing you can grasp without damaging your soul is My hand.  Ask My Spirit within you to order your day and control your thoughts, for the mind controlled by the Spirit is Life and Peace.

You can have as much of Me and My Peace as you want, through thousands of correct choices each day.  The most persistent choice you face is whether to trust Me or to worry.  You will never run out of things to worry about, but you can choose to trust Me no matter what.  I am an ever-present help in trouble.  Trust Me, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.

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

Psalm 46:1-2 1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

Dear Beloved,
I pray this little devotional finds you and your soul at peace as you live in the spirit, close to our heavenly Father.  May God bless us all as we quickly head towards Ash Wednesday and the Lenten season.  It’s a wonderful time of soul-searching and celebrating the sacrifice of Christ.  See you all tonight!  Love and Hugs, Scott

Bring Me Your Weakness, and receive My Peace.  Accept yourself and your circumstances just as they are, remembering that I am sovereign over everything.  Do not wear yourself out with analyzing and planning.  Instead, let thankfulness and trust be your guides through this day; they will keep you close to Me.  As you live in the radiance of My Presence, My Peace shines upon you.  You will cease to notice how weak or strong you feel, because you will be focusing on Me.  The best way to get through this day is step by step with Me.  Continue this intimate journey, trusting that the path you are following is headed for heaven.

Psalm 29:11 11 The Lord gives strength to his people; theLord blesses his people with peace.

Numbers 6:24-26  24 ‘May the Lord bless you and protect you. 25 May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. 26 May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’

Psalm 13:5   5 But I Trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

February 3rd Devotional

Dear Friends,
May you each be blessed as you embrace this day and the gift of our Father’s unfailing love.  Peace! Scott

I Am With You And For You.  You face nothing alone-nothing!  When you feel anxious, know that you are focusing on the visible world and leaving Me out of the picture.  The remedy is  simple: Fix your eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen.  Verbalize your trust in Me, the Living One who sees you always.  I will get you safely through this day and all your days.  But you can find Me only in the present.  Each day is a precious gift from My Father.  How ridiculous to grasp for future gifts when today’s is set before you!  Receive today’s gifts gratefully, unwrapping it tenderly and delving into its depths.  As you savor this gift, you find Me.

Romans 8:31 31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

2 Corinthians 4:18 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Genesis 16:13 13 She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”

February 2 Devotional

Posted on February 2, 2015 by drscott
Dear Friends,
I read a blog post this morning written by my friend Tom Stoker who’s battling cancer.  He’s the music director at Arborlawn UMC and was the producer for our Bass Hall concerts. At the end of his post, he quoted a hymn that he learned when he was a child that still gives him comfort today.  The hymn is called “My Lord is Near Me All the Time” and the words to the chorus are “I’ve seen it in the lightning, heard it in the thunder, and felt it in the rain; My Lord is near me all the time, my Lord is near me all the time.”  Imagine my surprise when I read today’s devotional!  So, maybe God is speaking to you too?  I’m sure He is!  Be blessed as you listen and know that you are never alone.  Hugs, Scott
__________________________________________________________

I Am Renewing Your Mind.  When your thoughts flow freely, they tend to move toward problems.  Your focus gets snagged on a given problem, circling around it in attempts to gain mastery.  Your energy is drained away from other matters through this negative focus.  Worst of all, you lose sight of Me.

A renewed mind is Presence-focused.  Train your mind to seek Me in every moment, every situation.  Sometimes you can find Me in your surroundings: a lilting birdsong, a loved one’s smile, golden sunlight.  At other times, you must draw inward to find Me.  I am always present in your spirit.  Seek My Face, speak to Me, and I will light up your mind.

Romans 12:2 2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

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