January 29th Devotional

Dear Friends,
We often forget just who we are and in whose image we were created.  It’s easy to do in this world as the focal point of our attention is on surviving and not always thriving in the glory of our Maker.  Angels are powerful heavenly beings, yet even they do not have the gift of free will.  This amazing gift from God brings with it a responsibility to use it wisely.  I, too, struggle with attention issues, especially during prayer time.  As your mind wanders, God gently calls us back saying “let it go, be at peace, hear My voice, I love you…” I pray you hear these words today and every day.  Be blessed beloved.  Scott

Keep Your Focus On Me.  I have gifted you with amazing freedom, including the ability to choose the focal point of your mind.  Only the crown of My creation has such remarkable capability; this is a sign of being made in My image.

Let the goal of this day be to bring every thought captive to Me.  When ever your mind wanders, lasso those thoughts and bring them into My Presence.  In My radiant Light, anxious thoughts shrink and shrivel away.  Judgmental thoughts are unmasked as you bask in My unconditional Love.  Confused ideas are untangled while you rest in the simplicity of My Peace.  I will guard you and keep you in perfect Peace, as you focus your mind on Me.

Psalm 8:5 5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

Genesis 1:26-27 
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

2 Corinthians 10:5
 5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Isaiah 26:3 3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.
