May 20th Devotional

Posted on May 21, 2014 by drscott
Dear Friends,
Easter wasn’t that long ago.  Remember?  One of our themes was the image of the chains that bind us and what the cross means in relation to those chains.  “The Power of the Cross” was the title of our anthem.  That power, paid for by the blood of Jesus, is still just as strong today as it was then.  Let the love and light of Jesus uplift you where you belong–right next to Him!  Peace, Scott

When Your Sins Weigh Heavily upon you, come to Me.  Confess your wrongdoing, which I know all about before you say a word.  Stay in the Light of My Presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing.  Remember that I have clothed you in My righteousness, so nothing can separate you from Me.  Whenever you stumble or fall, I am there to help you up.

Man’s tendency is to hide from his sin,  seeking refuge in the darkness.  There he indulges in self-pity, denial, self-righteousness, blaming, and hatred.  But I am the Light of the world, and My illumination decimates the darkness.  Come close to Me and let My Light envelop you, driving out darkness and permeating you with Peace.

1 John 1:7 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood ofJesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

Isaiah 61:10  10 I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

John 8:12 12When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
