April 29th devotional

Posted on April 29, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
It’s always nice to come home.  Some of you may know that I recently made a trip to South Carolina, the state I grew up in, to celebrate my grandmother’s 90th birthday.  The pace is a bit slower in S.C. than Texas.  You’re forced, at times, to just sit and “be”.  Taking a walk with grandma also opens ones eyes to things easily missed.  She sees things with her 90 year old eyes that most of us miss.  Birds, flowers, trees and other of natures wonders are treasured by her and anyone she’s with.  Grandma walks and talks “thankfulness” wherever she goes.  She’s learned true thankfulness over the years and continues to teach it to us by her example.  I’m also grateful for each of you, our amazing church and the community we live in.  We are blessed indeed!  Peace and Love, Scott

Let Me Teach You Thankfulness.

  Begin by acknowledging that everything-all your possessions and all that you are-belongs to Me.  The dawning of each new day is a gift from Me, not to be taken for granted.  The earth is vibrantly alive with My blessings, giving vivid testimony to My Presence.  If you slow down your pace of life, you can find Me anywhere.

Some of My precious children have been laid aside in sick beds or shut away in prisons.  Others have voluntarily learned the discipline of spending time alone with Me.  The secret of being thankful is learning to see everything from My perspective.  My world is your classroom.  My Word is a lamp to your feet and light for your path.

Hebrews 12:28-29 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken,(A) let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,(B)29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”

Psalm 119:105 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
