Devotional

Dear Friends,

Time with our Creator is time well spent!  Just like any relationship, the time we spend with Christ and each other builds layer upon layer the foundation of our faith.  When the foundation is solid, nothing can tear it down.  Not even the devil!  So, how’s your foundation?  It’s a question we need to ask ourselves each and every day.  For we know the slings and arrows that come our way only have one defense–our Rock, our Redeemer, our Savior Jesus Christ.  Be blessed today friends and don’t forget that this Sunday is Pentecost!  Wear red and bring LOTS of friends!  Peace and Love, Scott

Spending Time alone with Me is essential for our well-being.  It is not a luxury or an option; it is a necessity.  Therefore, do not feel guilty about taking time to be with Me.  Remember that Satan is the accuser of believers.  He delights in heaping guilt feelings upon you, especially when you are enjoying My Presence.  When you feel Satan’s arrows of accusation, you are probably on the right track.  Use your shield of faith to protect yourself from him.  Talk with Me about what you are experiencing, and ask Me to show you the way forward.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  Come near to Me, and I will come near to you.Revelation 12:10 10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

Ephesians 6:16 
16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

James 4:7-8  7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
