Dear Friends,
We are a blessed people who have everything we need and most of what we want. Yet, sometimes we do feel as if we’re lacking in some way. It could be health, it could be energy, it could be time and it could be financial need we are experiencing. Whatever it is, our very need is a blessing because it reminds us that we can’t do it alone. We need a Savior. We need a Father. We need the wisdom from the Holy Spirit. So, when you feel lacking, go to the Source that never runs dry! Amen! Peace and Love, Scott

When Some Basic Need Is Lacking-time, energy, money-consider yourself blessed. Your very lack is an opportunity to latch onto Me in unashamed dependence. When you begin a day with inadequate resources, you must concentrate your efforts on the present moment. This is where you were meant to live-in the present; it is the place where I always await you. Awareness of your inadequacy is a rich blessing, training you to rely wholeheartedly on Me.
The truth is that self-sufficiency is a myth perpetuated by pride and temporary success. Health and wealth can disappear instantly, as can life itself. Rejoice in your insufficiency, knowing that My power is made perfect in weakness.
James 1:2 2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NASB) 9And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness ” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
