January 11 Devotional

Posted on January 11, 2016 by drscott
Dear Friends,
I want to thank each of you for making worship yesterday so heartfelt and spiritual!  Loved making music with each of you and loved how the congregation responded to our musical offerings.  Awesome!  We’re off to a great start this year with record attendance and a new Bible study around the corner.  Our Lenten season will be here before you know it! (Ash Wed is Feb 10th!)  Lots going on around here and lots of change in the works.  So, what do we do?  We trust and obey.  Pure and simple.  Well, maybe not so simple, but the best way to live in this fallen world.  Be blessed in this and I’ll see you all Wednesday!  Peace and Love, Scott

Trust Me by relinquishing control into My hands. Let go, and recognize that I am God. This is My world: I made it and I control it. Yours is a responsive part in the litany of Love. I search among My children for receptivity to Me. Guard well this gift that I have planted in your heart. Nurture it with the Light of My Presence.

When you bring Me prayer request, lay out your concerns before Me. Speak to Me candidly; pour out your heart. Then thank Me for the answers that I have set into motion long before you can discern results. When your requests come to mind again, continue to thank Me for the answers that are on the way. If you keep on stating your concerns to Me, you will live in a state of tension. When you thank Me for how I am answering your prayers, your mind-set becomes much more positive. Thankful prayers keep your focus on My Presence and My promises.

Colossians 4:2 2Devote yourselves to prayer,being watchful and thankful.

2 Peter 1:3-4 3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.4Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
