April 15 Devotional

Dearly Beloved,
There’s nothing “routine” about Holy Week.  It is anything BUT routine!  As Jesus began his Holy Week, the week of Passover, he participated and worshiped just like any Holy Week, but He knew that it was going to be anything but routine and that the end of his earthly life was at hand.  He trusted.  He obeyed.  He said “not my will, but yours be done”.  Thank you all for your faithfulness during this season of Lent.  I trust that you have been blessed by the services and in serving through using your God-given gifts and talents.  You certainly have been a blessing to me and others.  Each week has been special because of your faithfulness.  God was here.  You were here.  The Spirit was with us and in us.  What bliss!  Continue to pray for ALL of our many services at the end of this week–Thursday, Friday,Saturday and Sunday.  Pray that folks will come and be open to receive Him in many ways.  Peace and Love, Scott

TRUST ME,

 

and don’t be afraid. Many things feel out of control. Your routines are not running smoothly. You tend to feel more secure when your life is predictable. Let Me lead you to the rock that is higher than you and your circumstances. Take refuge in the shelter of My wings, where you are absolutely secure.

When you are shaken out of your comfortable routines, grip My hand tightly and look for growth opportunities. Instead of bemoaning the loss of your comfort, accept the challenge of something new. I lead you on from glory to glory, making you fit for My kingdom. Say yes to the ways I work in your life. Trust Me, and don’t be afraid.

Isaiah 12:2 
Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord , the Lord, is my strength and my song;he has become my salvation.

Psalm 61:2-4: 
2 From the ends of the earth I call to you. Icall as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For you have been my refuge,a strong tower against the foe. 4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. 

2 Corinthians 3:18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
