Dear Friends,
I must admit, it’s difficult to look for growth opportunities while in the midst of a raging storm. Who the heck is looking for “spiritual growth” at such a time?! Survival is usually all I’m focused on. How ’bout you? But, as the dust settles a bit, you can step back, take a deep breath and simply pray. It may not be that God is trying to teach you anything other than to depend upon Him in good times and tough times. It may be that you need to “let go and let God”. As I prayed for each of you this morning, I prayed that God indeed would bless you, give you all wisdom and discernment and that His will may be done in each of your lives. May it be so now and in the future. Peace and Love Friends, Scott

Thank Me In The Midst of the crucible. When things seem all wrong, look for growth opportunities. Especially, look for areas where you need to let go, leaving your cares in My able hands. Do you trust Me to orchestrate your life events as I choose, or are you still trying to make things go according to your will? If you keep trying to carry out your intentions while I am leading you in another direction, you deify your desires.
Be on the lookout for what I am doing in your life. Worship Me by walking close to Me, thanking Me in all circumstances.
1 Peter 5:6-7 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he maylift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
