September 30 Devotional

Posted on September 30, 2013 by drscott

Dear Friends,

I’m a visual person.  I learn best by seeing it, either in my mind or in reality.  So, I really appreciated the sermon illustrations that pastor Mike has been using these past two weeks.  The rope representing eternity and that tiny piece of tape on the end representing our lives really hit home, as did the sand being poured out on the alter table representing our lives being given faithfully and fully to God.  I pray you live this day to the fullest, knowing that God is with you and loves you like crazy!  Peace and Love, Scott

I Am Perpetually With You, taking care of you.  That is the most important fact of your existence.  I am not limited by time or space; therefore, My Presence with you is a forever-promise.  You need not fear the future, for I am already there.  When you make that quantum leap into eternity, you will find Me awaiting you in heaven.  Your future is in My hands; I release it to you day by day, moment by moment.  Therefore, do not worry abouttomorrow.

I want you to live this day abundantly, seeing all there is to see, doing all there is to do.  Don’t be distracted by future concerns.  Leave them to Me!  Each day of life is a glorious gift, but so few people know how to live within the confines of today.  Much of their energy for abundant living spills over the time line into tomorrow’s worries or past regrets.  Their remaining energy is sufficient only for limping through the day, not for living it to the full.  I am training you to keep your focus on My Presence in the present.  This is how to receive abundant Life, which flows freely from My throne of grace.

Matthew 6:34 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, fortomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

John 10:10 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

James 4:13-15 13Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrowwe will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
