July 9 devotional

Posted on July 9, 2013 by drscott

Dear Beloved Friends,


Quiet time with God is sacred indeed!  And, being one who is constantly on the go and at others’ beck and call, it’s difficult to find this time.  Seek and you will find is a promise from our Creator.  So, today I challenge you to make 5, 10, 15 minutes of alone time with God.  Notice I said “make”, not “find”.  We have to make this time for too often we say “I could not find the time to be with God”.  Make it a priority and I promise you will be blessed!  Let this be intimate.  You don’t have to tell me or anyone what God says to you.  This loving relationship is precious.  Enjoy!  Love and Hugs, Scott

p.s. our sanctuary is always open to you.  can’t promise it’ll be quiet, but most of the time it is during the day.  Just fyi….that’s where I’m heading now.  peace…

Stop Worrying 

long enough to hear My voice.  I speak softly to you, in the depths of your being.  Your mind shuttles back and forth, hither and yon, weaving webs of anxious confusion.  As My thoughts rise up within you, they become entangled in those sticky webs of worry.  Thus, My voice is muffled, and you hear only “white noise.”

Ask My Spirit to quiet your mind so that you can think My thoughts.  This ability is an awesome benefit of being My child, patterned after My own image.  Do not be deafened by the noise of the world or that of your own thinking.  Instead, be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Sit quietly in My Presence, letting My thoughts reprogram your thinking.

Deuteronomy 30:20 20 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Genesis 1:27  27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Romans 12:2 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
