April 9 Devotional

Posted on April 9, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
Problems come and problems go, but Christ remains!  We all have them–problems.  And, many times, problems need to be dealt with directly in order to fix them, but while focusing on problems, it’s important to not be consumed by them, which is easier said than done.  Focus on the presence of Christ, give the problems to Him and together, work on them.  Be blessed as you bathe in the light of Christ today and every day.  Peace and Love, Scott

You Are Mine For All Time

; nothing can separate you from My Love. Since I have invested My very Life in you, be well assured that I will also take care of you.When your mind goes into neutral and your thoughts flow freely, you tend to feel anxious and alone. Your focus becomes problem solving. To get your mind back into gear, just turn toward Me, bringing yourself and your problems into My Presence.

Many problems vanish instantly in the Light of My Love, because you realize you are never alone. Other problems may remain, but they become secondary to knowing Me and rejoicing in the relationship I so freely offer you. Each moment you can choose to practice My Presence or to practice the presence of problems.

Romans 8:38-39: 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Exodus 33:14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you , and I will give you rest.”

April 8 Devotional

Posted on April 8, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
These are beautiful words and reassuring that Christ will never leave us or forsake us.  It also reminds me of Pastor Mike’s joke he’s told on a few occasions.  You remember it don’t you?  Old farmer in his beat up pick up truck, arm hanging out the driver’s window while his wife of many years sits across from him on the opposite side.  She sighs and says remember how we used to sit next to each other while driving down the road?  He replies “I ain’t moved!”  Be blessed!
______________________________________________________

I Am With You And For You, your constant Companion and Provider. The question is whether you are with Me and for Me. Though I never leave you, you can essentially “leave” Me by ignoring Me: thinking or acting as if I am not with you. When you feel distance in our relationship, you know where the problem lies. My Love for you is constant; Iam the same yesterday, today and  forever.  It is you who change like shifting sand, letting circumstances toss you this way and that.

When you feel far from Me, whisper My Name. This simple act, done in childlike faith, opens your heart to My Presence. Speak to Me in love-tones; prepare to receive My Love, which flows eternally from the cross. I am delighted when you open yourself to My loving Presence.

Genesis 28:15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today and forever.

April 7th Devotional

Posted on April 7, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
Today’s devotional reminds me of that great song “Change My Heart, O God”.  It has the refrain “you are the potter, I am the clay, mold me and make me, this is what I pray”.  Beautiful words from a contrite heart ready and willing to be led by the Creator.  Many of you know that I swim at the Y every weekday.  It’s good exercise and it gives me a chance to pray while swimming along.  Some days, I seem to glide in the water, effortlessly.  Other days, it’s a bit of a struggle.  The important thing is that I keep swimming!  God’s will and our wills can sometimes be a bit of a struggle.  Determining where the push back is coming from can be tricky.  Talk to God about it and listen to your heart.  God won’t ever ask you to do something He can’t bless.  Peace and Love, Scott
________________________________________________________

I Am The Potter; you are My clay. I designed you before the foundation of the world. I arrange the events of each day to form you into this preconceived pattern. My everlasting Love is at work in every event of your life. On some days your will and Mine flow smoothly together. You tend to feel in control of your life when our wills are in harmony. On other days you feel as if you are swimming upstream, against the current of My purposes. When that happens, stop and seek My Face. The opposition you feel may be from Me, or it may be from the evil one.

Talk with Me about what you are experiencing. Let My Spirit guide you through treacherous waters. As you move through the turbulent stream with Me, let circumstances mold you into the one I desire you to be. Say yes to your Potter as you go through this day.

Isaiah 64:8 Yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

Psalm 27:8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord I will seek.

April 3 Devotional

Posted on April 3, 2014 by drscott
Dear Beloved,

I love the first two short sentences of today’s devotional.  It really says it all.  It is Christ who sustains, maintains and gives us peace, joy and unconditional love.  Like you, I want the entire world to have what we have…life complete in Christ.  Easter is coming!  The chains that would bind the world can be broken, but only through faith in Christ.  I pray that all who come will also come to know.  Peace and Love, Scott
___________________________________________________________ 

In Me You Have Everything.  In Me you are complete. Your capacity to experience Me is increasing, through My removal of debris and clutter from your heart. As your yearning for Me increases, other desires are gradually lessening. Since I am infinite and abundantly accessible to you, desiring Me above all else is the best way to live.It is impossible for you to have a need that I cannot meet. After all, I created you and everything that is. The world is still at My beck and call, though it often appears otherwise. Do not be fooled by appearances. Things that are visible are brief and fleeting, while things that are invisible are everlasting.


Ephesians 3:20 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.
2 Corinthians 4:18 18Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.
