September 9 Devotional

Dear Friends,

It was great sharing a meal with you all on Sunday as we officially kicked off our Fall season.  It was a wonderful Sunday all together–great sermon, great music, great food and great fellowship.  I hope you feel as if you’re on the right path for a spiritual fall season of music making and leading in worship.  Whenever someone gets out of the habit of coming on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings, they always say how much they missed it when they do return. I  believe God honors our efforts and faithfulness to service.  He knows that it makes us feel good to serve and to use our gifts for Him.  So, if you’ve wandered off the right path, fear not!  Simply begin again.  God will help you prioritize so that you can stay on the right path.  A path of joy in serving God.  Be blessed and thanks for walking along with me and your other brothers and sisters in Christ!  Peace and Love, Scott

Walk With Me Along Paths Of Trust.  The most direct route between point A and point B on our life-journey is the path of unwavering trust in Me.  When your faith falters, you choose a trial that meanders and takes you well out of your way.  You will get to point B eventually, but you will have lost precious time and energy.  As soon as you realize you have wandered from you trust-path, look to Me and whisper, “I trust You,Jesus.”  This affirmation will help you get back on track.

The farther you roam along paths of unbelief, the harder it is to remember that I am with you.  Anxious thoughts branch off in all directions, taking you farther and farther from awareness of My Presence.  You need to voice your trust in Me frequently.  This simple act of faith will keep you walking along straight paths with Me.  Trust in Me with all your heart, and I will make your paths straight.

Isaiah 26:4  
4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.

Psalm 9:10 
10 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 25:5 
5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Proverbs 3:5-6  
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
