December 5 Devotional

Dearly Beloved Friends,

Indeed, God is all around us, but quite often, we’re too busy to experience it.  In this sacred time of year, be especially tuned into the presence of God at work around you and exclaim “Surely, the Lord is in this place!”  Be blessed as you bless others.  Peace and Grace, Scott

Let My Presence override everything you experience.  Like a luminous veil of Light.  I hover over you and everything around you.  I am training you to stay conscious of Me in each situation you encounter. 

When the patriarch Jacob ran away from his enraged brother, he went to sleep on a stone pillow in a land that seemed desolate.  But after dreaming about heaven and angels and promises of My Presence, he awoke and exclaimed: “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”  His discovery was not only for him but for all who seek Me.  Whenever you feel distant from me, say: “Surely the Lord is in this place!”  Then, ask Me to give you awareness of My Presence.  This is a prayer that I delight to answer.

Psalm 31:20
20In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.

 Genesis 28:11-1611 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13There above it stood the LORD, and he said: “I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. 15I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”
