August 29 Devotional

Dear Beloved,
How would you like to do less, but accomplish more?!  We all want to be good stewards of the time, energy and talent that God has given us.  Before you begin your day, try to find some quiet time with God.  It is truly what is most important for a good and productive day.  Be blessed as you sit quietly in His presence.  Peace and Love, Scott

Demonstrate Your Trust In Me by sitting quietly in My Presence.  Put aside all that is waiting to be done, and refuse to worry about anything.  This sacred time together strengthens you and prepares  you to face whatever the day will bring.  By waiting with Me before you begin the day’s activities, you proclaim the reality of My living Presence.  This act of faith-waiting before working-is noted in the spirit world, where your demonstration of trust weakens principalities and powers of darkness.

The most effective way to resist evil is to draw near to Me.  When you need to take action, I will guide you clearly through My Spirit and My Word.  The world is so complex and overstimulating that you can easily lose your sense of direction.  Doing countless unnecessary activities  will dissipate your energy.  When you spend time with Me, I restore your sense of directions.  As you look to Me for guidance, I enable you to do less but accomplish more.

Luke 12:22-26  22Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

Ephesians 6:12  12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Proverbs 16:3  3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
