April 16 Devotional

Posted on April 16, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
I love surprises!  I love surprising people that I love.  There are many surprises in the world–some “good” and some “bad”, but through it all, God is with us and He’s in control.  I’m thinking that our God is a god of surprises.  We have to trust that He loves us enough to make seemingly bad surprises yield some good somehow.  So, trust that God is in control, loves us like crazy and has great plans for us and our loved ones.  Be blessed in this truth.  Hugs and Love, Scott

I Am Calling You

to a life of thankfulness.  I want all your moments to be punctuated with thanksgiving.  This basis for your gratitude is My sovereignty.  I am the Creator and Controller of the universe.  Heaven and earth are filled with My glorious Presence.

When you criticize or complain, you are acting as if you think you could run the world better that I do.  From your limited human perspective, it may look as if I’m mismanaging things.  But you don’t know what I know or see what I see.  If I pulled back the curtain to allow you to view heavenly realms, you would understand much more.  However, I have designed you to walk by faith, not by sight.  I lovingly shield you from knowing the future or seeing into the spirit world.  Acknowledge My sovereignty by giving thanks in all circumstances.

Isaiah 6:3 

3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”

2 Corinthians 5:7 7We live by faith, not by sight.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
