Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I love the first line of this devotional: “Spending time alone with Me is essential for OUR well-being.” Our relationship with God is what matters most. It is essential, not only for us, but for those around us. And, our God! We all know how important it is to spend alone time with loved ones. Without the one-on-one time, we tend to drift apart from one another. It’s the same with God. So, don’t feel guilty for nurturing your most important relationship on a daily basis. Get connected and be blessed! Peace and Love, Scott

Spending Time alone with Me is essential for our well-being. It is not a luxury or an option; it is a necessity. Therefore, do not feel guilty about taking time to be with Me. Remember that Satan is the accuser of believers. He delights in heaping guilt feelings upon you, especially when you are enjoying My Presence. When you feel Satan’s arrows of accusation, you are probably on the right track. Use your shield of faith to protect yourself from him. Talk with Me about what you are experiencing, and ask Me to show you the way forward. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to Me, and I will come near to you.
Revelation 12:10 10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
Ephesians 6:16 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
James 4:7-8 7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
