July 17 devotional

Posted on July 17, 2013 by drscott

Dear Friends,


Are you too busy to read this devotional?  Are you too busy to spend a little quiet time with God?  I know how difficult it can be to make time for God.  But, it should be my highest priority.  May God bless you today and every day as you make time for Him.  Peace, Scott

Come Away With Me for a while.  The world, with its nonstop demands, can be put on hold.  Most people put Me on hold, rationalizing that someday they will find time to focus on Me.  But the longer people push Me into the background of their lives, the harder it is for them to find Me.

You live among people who glorify busyness; they have made time a tyrant that controls their lives.  Even those who know Me as Savior tend to march to the tempo of the world.  They have bought into the illusion that more is always better: more meetings, more programs, more activity.

I have called you to follow Me on a solitary path, making time alone with Me your highest priority and deepest Joy.  It is a pathway largely unappreciated and often despised.  However, you have chosen the better thing, which will never be taken away from you.  Moreover, as you walk close to Me, I can bless others through you.

Song Of Songs 2:13  13 The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.   Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.”

Luke 10:42 42but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
