February 23 Devotional

Posted on February 23, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
A year ago, I printed off this devotional and pasted the first paragraph on my computer so that I would see it every morning as I started my day.  These three sentences outlining the power of “trust” and “thankfulness” seemed to keep everything in perspective and in divine order. I pray it does so for you as well!  Peace and Love, Scott

Trust And Thankfulness will get you safely through this day.  Trust protects you from worrying and obsessing.  Thankfulness keeps you from criticizing and complaining, those sister sins that so easily entangle you.

Keeping your eyes on Me is the same thing as trusting Me.  It is a free choice that you must make thousands of times daily.  The more you choose to trust Me, the easier it becomes.  Thought patterns of trust become etched into your brain.  Relegate troubles to the periphery of your mind, so that I can be central in your thoughts.  Thus you focus on Me, entrusting your concerns into My care.

Colossians 2:6-7 6So then, just as you received ChristJesus as Lord, continue to live in him, 7rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Psalm 141:8  8 But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death.
