Dear Friends,
As we embark on this new year, we are given opportunities to start afresh and to begin anew. It’s like a beautiful “restart” button on our lives. There’s a saying that goes “if you like the results you’re getting, keep doing what you’re doing.” So, how are you doing? Self-assessment is a good thing to do every now and then. Today’s devotional speaks of the dangers of being in a “comatose condition” spiritually. It’s easy to do! Going through the motions, but not actually engaging with our Lord and Savior. I challenge you to be intentional in your prayers. Be intentional in your time with God. You’ll find that no matter what the new year brings, your relationship with God will be stronger and better than ever! Be blessed beloved! Love, Scott

Stay Ever So Close To Me, and you will not deviate from the path I have prepared for you. This is the most efficient way to stay on track; it is also the most enjoyable way. Men tend to multiply duties in their observance of religion. This practice enables them to give Me money, time, and work without yielding up to Me what I desire the most-their hearts. Rules can be observed mechanically. Once they become habitual, they can be followed with minimal effort and almost no thought. These habit-forming rules provide a false sense of security, lulling the soul into a comatose condition.
Colossians 3:23 23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,
Psalm 16:11 11 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

What I search for in My children is an awakened soul that thrills to the Joy of My Presence! I created mankind to glorify Me and enjoy Me forever. I provide the Joy; your part is to glorify Me by living close to Me.
