Dear Friends,
I was indeed pure joy being with you all in worship yesterday. Thank you again for your faithfulness as together we led a beautiful worship service that was heart-felt, sincere and deeply moving. Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts with me and others. Like you, I have found such pleasure in serving and being with God. While we are in communion with God, all the worries and cares of the world seem to be so much lighter. I pray this for each of you today and every day. Peace and Love, Scott

I Continually Call You to closeness with Me. I know the depth and breadth of your need for Me. I can read the emptiness of your thoughts when they wander away from Me. I offer rest for your soul, as well as refreshment for your mind and body. As you increasingly find fulfillment in Me, other pleasures become less important. Knowing Me intimately is like having a private wellspring of Joy within you. This spring flows freely from My throne of grace, so your Joy is independent of circumstances.
Waiting in My Presence keeps you connected to Me, aware of all that I offer you. If you feel any deficiency, you need to refocus your attention on Me. This is how you trust Me in the moments of your life.
Psalm 131:2 2 But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
Psalm 21:6 6 Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
Psalm 37:7 7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
