April 2 Devotional

Dear Friends,
Just a quick note on this Tuesday after Easter to say how proud I am of each of you.  The music you made on Easter was absolutely GLORIOUS!  So many people have stopped me in parking lots, in buildings and here at church to say how blessed they were by your outpouring of heartfelt singing and playing.  You totally outdid yourselves and represented your Lord and Savior with love, dignity and humility all rolled into one.  If I were one who did not know that Jesus died for me, was raised from the dead and came to give me abundant life, by the end of the hour, there was no doubt!  I would have wanted what YOU all portrayed through music and drama. So, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  All of the planning, prayer and practice means nothing if you don’t have the faithful committed to the cause.  And that you are.  I am eternally grateful and thankful for each and every one of you.  What a glorious, musical and spiritual March!  You did it!  God indeed is good and has kept His promise to meet all of our needs according to His rich grace.  Thanks be to God!  Peace, Love and Hugs, Scott

 

______________________________________________
I Have Promised to meet all your needs according to My glorious riches.  Your deepest, most constant need is for My Peace.  I have planted Peace in the garden of your heart, where I live; but there are weeds growing there too: pride, worry, selfishness, unbelief.  I am the Gardener, and I am working to rid your heart of these weeds.  I do My work in various ways.  When you sit quietly with Me, I shine the Light of My Presence directly into your heart.  In this heavenly Light, Peace grows abundantly and weeds shrivel up.  I also send trials into your life.  When you trust Me in the midst of trouble, Peace flourishes and weeds die away.  Thank Me for troublesome situations; the Peace they can produce far outweighs the trials you endure.

Philippians 4:19 19And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 4:17 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
