June 29th Devotional

Posted on June 29, 2015 by drscott
Dear Friends,
I wouldn’t exactly call myself a “morning person”.  Those of you who faithfully serve at 8:15 each Sunday know this full well! On Sunday mornings, I have to admit that my first thought is not “must have God”, but rather “must have coffee”!  But, it is God’s presence with us that gives us the courage to face another day and any and all problems or situations that might arise.  Together, we truly can handle anything that comes our way.  God is Big Enough and He’s on YOUR side!  Peace and Love, Scott

As You Get Out Of Bed

in the morning, be aware of My Presence with you.  You may not be thinking clearly yet, but I am.  Your early morning thoughts tend to be anxious ones until you get connected with Me.  Invite Me into your thoughts by whispering My Name.  Suddenly your day brightens and feels more user-friendly.  You cannot dread a day that is vibrant with My Presence.

You gain confidence through knowing that I am with you– that you face nothing alone.  Anxiety stems from asking the wrong question: “If such and such happens, can I handle it?”  The true question is not whether you can cope with whatever happens, but whether you and I together can handle anything that occurs.  It is this you-and-I-together factor that gives you confidence to face the day cheerfully.

Psalm 5:3 3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

Psalm 63:1 1O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

Philippians 4:13 13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
