Dear Friends,
It was wonderful making music with you all yesterday. We had about 70 choir members make it to the rehearsal and about 15 in the orchestra. We made a joyful noise indeed! I can’t thank you enough for making the effort to come to rehearsal. We got a lot done towards our Good Friday and Easter services. Thank you!
The first paragraph of this devotional is taped to my computer screen on my desk. I read it just about every day. I hope it resonates with you as well. Be blessed as you bless others. Peace, Trust and Thankfulness, 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 Christ Jesus 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.
1 Peter 5:7 Cast all you anxiety on him because he cares for you.
