November 5 Devotional

Posted on November 5, 2013 by drscott

Dear Friends,

Wow!  What a dandy we have this morning!  I have often said “live below your means and above your circumstances”.  On the heals of an excellent sermon by pastor Ceasar on Sunday, it is really true that the world preaches that we don’t have enough and that we are not “enough”.  The Bible tells us that we have everything we need and that having God is enough.  The only thing, the only power on earth or heaven, that can separate us from God is us!  So, today, tear down any barrier you might have between you, your trust in God and God Himself.  God, indeed, is big enough for every situation.  Be at peace.  Be blessed!  Love and Hugs, Scott

You Can Live As Close To Me as you choose.  I set up no barriers between us; neither do I tear down barriers that you erect.

People tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives.  So they pour their energy into trying to control those situations.  They feel happy when things are going well, and sad or frustrated when things don’t turn out as they had hoped.  They rarely question this correlation between circumstances and feelings.  Yet it is possible to be content in any and every situation.

Put more energy into trusting Me and enjoying My Presence.  Don’t let your well-being depend on your circumstances.  Instead, connect your joy to My precious promises: 

I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.  I will meet all your needs according to My glorious riches.  Nothing in all creation will be  able to separate you from My Love.

Philippians 4:12 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

Genesis 28:15 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

Philippians 4:19 19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:38-39 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
