September 11th devotional

Posted on September 11, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,

What a joy it is to be with you on Wednesday nights.  I so appreciate the music we made last night.  You’re an inspiration to me as always.  Today’s devotional is all about giving thanks and enjoying the present moment.  I know folks who tend to walk around under a cloud of doom.  Do they not know that God Himself is walking with them?  Give thanks for that tender relationship, have faith that God’s in control and release your desire to control your own future.  Peace!  Scott

Rejoice In Me Always!  No matter what is going on, you can rejoice in your Love-relationship with Me.  This is the secret of being content in all circumstances.  So many people dream of the day when they will finally be happy: when they are out of debt, when their children are out of trouble, when they have more leisure time, and so on.  While they daydream, their moments are trickling into the ground like precious balm spilling wastefully from overturned bottles.

Fantasizing about future happiness will never bring fulfillment, because fantasy is unreality.  Even though I am invisible, I am far more Real than the world you see around you.  My reality is eternal and unchanging.  Bring your moments to Me, and I will fill them with vibrant Joy.  Now is the time to rejoice in My Presence!

Philippians 4:4  4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

Philippians 4:12 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

Psalm 102:27 27 But you remain the same,  and your years will never end.
