January 2nd Devotional

Dear Friends,

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a devotional and comments.  This is the first for 2014 and it is timely indeed!  After a rather busy Christmas season (but so enjoyable), I did make room for Christ this Christmas and I’m sure you did as well.  We have chosen what is most important–time with our Creator and time with family and loved ones.  I have been missing our time together, however, and look forward to seeing you all this Sunday for worship.  We’ll begin with Holy Communion and a lovely anthem you all know: “At the Table of the Lord”.  If you’ve never sung it, it is not too difficult.  Feel free to come early if you wish.  Sonny and I will be around to assist.  May God bless each and every one of you this coming new year!  Peace and Love, Scott

Relax In My Healing Presence.  As you spend time with Me, your thoughts tend to jump ahead to today’s plans and problems.  Bring your mind back to Me for refreshment and renewal.  Let the Light of My Presence soak into you, focus your thoughts on Me.  Thus I equip you to face whatever the day brings.  This sacrifice of time pleases Me and strengthens you.  Do not skimp on our time together.  Resist the clamor of tasks waiting to be done.  You have chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from you. 

Psalm 105:4 4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.

 Luke 10:39:42 39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”  41″Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
